Many kids think whatthey are like.They think they aren't the prettiest or the smartest. At the same time, they think they aren't even the ugliest or the silliest, which would at least make them out. Everyone feels that way sometimes, in middle school. Kids realize how special they are.
It is growing up. Growing up means understanding what you can offer the world. When you're young, you realize that just by being yourself, you do offer to other people. Maybe you aren't the best, but that doesn't make you "not amazing".
Do yourself a favor. Think about your friends carefully. Write down a list of things that you like about them. Think about you make friends with them. You will know that in the end, no matter if they aren't the smartest or the prettiest or talented, they are great in their own way. And they feel just the same you!
Remember, it gets easier as you grow older. If you try your best, you are still pretty .
