My best friend and I have been besties since the 5th grade. I had just moved into a small town and was really scared because it was my first day of school. We were put in the same class, sitting next to each other near the window. She saw me crying after lunch. I was wearing my horse shoe neckalace and she noticed it and struck up a converstation. Since that moment we were best friends.
We were glued at the hip and did everything together. As we grew older, she got prettier and more popular, which wasn't suprising considering she was the daughter of the richest cattle owner in town. In 10th grade, she joined the drill team with her older sister who was also beautiful and popular. On the other hand, I got fatter and uglier. I was in the marching band, loved anime, and by NO means had money. Emily was the sweetest person. After all our differences over the years, we were still best friends. She had bunches of friends, all her were jelous of her and talked about her behind her back. However, she choose me to confide in. How she was so jelous of her older sister. I love her and would always be there for her. But I get so angry when i hear her speak of being jelous and feeling like a shadow behind her sister. A few months before she even turned 16, she got a brand new red Saturn Sky(for those who dont know, that is a 2 seater sports car.) I can't even begin to describe the levels of jelousy I felt. I won't lie. I am EXTREMLY jelous of Emily. And this just topped the cake. I did get a '96 chevy blazer for my birthday and I loved it. Sadly I couldn't keep it. When she complains about her sister or her lifge, I can't help but be very upset with her. For a while, I don't even want to be around her because I just feel ugly around her. I trully feel bad that I feel this way. She is such a GREAT person. She helps animals and wants to be a veternarian after we graduate. Is it normal to feel this way?

    I say that this is normal. Your best friend doesn't know how to appreciate the thing she has in her life, like beauty, money and popularity instead she is jealous of her own sister. That's pretty nasty and it's right that you feel this way. I highly recommend you to talk to her honestly and explain to her how you feel. It's the only way to be. And also, don't ever feel less important than her because if you are ugly, fat or poor it doesn't matter after all. Only thing that matters is your soul. ;)
