It is hard being a girl. I know. I am one. I was your age once. And yes. When your best friend gets a boyfriend you can feel jealous and abandoned. Let's face it. Us girls have all been there. That is when you realize you don't have a life..... Please don't leave college. You need college. As much as you want to hide, it is the last thing you need to do. You say you hide behind your sarcasm. Well, then I have a question for you. What are you afraid of.? .I have raised two daughters, so I am not talking in a territory where I am unfamiliar. Until you identify what it is that you are scared of - be it intimacy, or letting someone know the REAL you - then maybe you can get past your sarcasm which might get you toward a boyfriend. As far as your weight is concerned, once your attitude towards yourself changes, your weight will come off. I probably didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. You have self-esteem issues that you need to address. I bet you are a very pretty girl who just misses her best bud. So, if that is the case......find other things to do, your best bud is still your best bud, only with a boyfriend.......and if you change your attitude you'll get a boyfriend too!

I am new to this site and I must say something here. I was born and raised in the South. I had a black Nannie when I was little, mainly because my mother was drunk (read my post). Anyway, she basically raised me and I asked her why her skin was a different color than mine. I was very, very young. I remember I had my head on her lap. She explained to me about how Indians skin was this color, how people from China had skin color different, how people from Mexico had skin color that color, etc. From her love and explanations I grew to understand "color". How you could be ashamed of your color - I do not not understand. You come from a heritage so great. I believe if you took the time to explore your heritage and learn the history of "where you came from" you would be proud to be the person of color you are.
