Plz help. i'm not at all popular at school, btw i'm 12, and never had a female friend before. well, my brother, same age, is becoming mr. popular at school. he has had few friends like me our whole life untill a few weeks ago. we used to be alike in everyway, but now he listens to rap all of the sudden, which i hate, and he has recently taken a big intrest in "clothing" i mean, he is now only bying "Abercrombi" and always surfs their site and is always spending money there. He has also recently taken a big use in "curse words" and always talk in very rude ways. He is now always talking about girls and who 2 date and says a few like him 2. it seems he's just saying that to rub in the fact that i have "no life" and he knows it too. he is now just soooo "differant" from me... and yes, probably better than me in everything. He has many, many, many firends and is succeding in life. now as i said in a recent post

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/i-am-11-years-old-and-am-starting.html

i have few friends and no life, and my brother is beating me at everything! i wouldn't be surprised if he even kissed a girl! I am very jealous that he is beating me to life and is just, so, well... differant.

How can i get over this or be more like him? he's always teasing me saying i'm a "late bloomer" and i "have no life" and i'll never "go through puberty", which i am right now!

should i just wait for my life to work out on it's own?should i do something?

and what was the reason for the girl below saying "hi"?Oh, and one more thing. i have had many oppritunities in the past. For example, i went to a boy's sleep-away camp last year. and one night my camp got together to have a dance with girls at another girl's camp. i just stood there and watched people dance. Also, in school, a really perky girl came up to me and said in a really perky voice, "Hi drew!". now, i never even talked 2 a girl before really, and i thought she was kidding around, since she says hi to everyone. so i said in a confused voice, "uh... hi?" then she just walked away. now i regret it. i wonder if she was just saying hi for no reason, or if there was a reason, and what? what do YOU think it was?

sorry for the longness, but i am confused about life. plz try to answer to as many questons as possible. THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!!! :D

Dr. John agony auntYou hit the nail on the head about everything.

You have many conflicting thoughts racing through your head right now.

That coupled with the fact that you say you are going through puberty tells me that you are on overload right now.

Your body is racing out ahead of your mind and your mind has a long way left to grow.

It sounds like your brother has started into the same situation but may be making all the wrong choices to hurry things up.

To me it sounds like he wants to be with the "in crowd" but is probably just going to end up getting him in trouble.

You on the other hand are aparently trying to make the right decisions and are seeking help.

I would say, don't worry about the situation. Just think about what you want to do and why you want to do it before you do it. I am sure you will make the right choices. Doc.
