writes:I use to be so care free, happy and have virtually nothing on my mind. High school has bought me nothing but depression. I constantly worry about how I look, I get so Parinoid it makes me want to cry, when I think I have to go to school I usually do. I have to plaster my face in so much make up so I can even show up to the hell hole. I have got to be the most self consiouse girl in the world. And It's DESTROYING my life, There are ZERO people that I have even the mildest chemestry around and I feel like an Anti-Social Loner, with no motivation, exstream depression and no confidence. I'm like the young Bridget Jones, exept I dont have the huge bloomers, though I'm not far off. Why am I caught in this evil cycle, my sister had it too, does anyone else???xx

But the important difference is that in just a couple years they will become SO MUCH LESS INTENSE AND FREQUENT. It becomes just another normal (and manageable) component of life instead of THE MAIN THING in your everyday existence.

 No, you teen age girls or boys are not self conscious but you are conscious about your 'self', wanted to know the true nature of 'self'. It will take time. It is step by step realization. Till that time be watch full. Read more, think more, and meditate on your reading and thinking. Surprisingly you will find out great many thing about 'self' and about your own 'self', about 'awareness' and about 'self-awareness'.
Best luck.

You're at that age where to belong in a place is to have a sense of identity. Your teenage years define who you will be as they are the toughest years of your life in my opinion. You're stuck wondering what to do, what not to do, how to act and so forth. You really don't have any role models as all the role models are around your age. Adults can't understand as they are adults, even if you look up to them for guidance.
Be honest and true to yourself. If you want to put on all that makeup and look good just to be around a group of people you don't even know, or might not even want to know you...yet you look hot so they'll hang with you, then go for it. If in the end you say it was worth it, and you can honestly say that you feel comfortable doing such. Being a teenager is always confusing and no one ever has the right answer. There are others out there just like you, they just don't voice it.
Don't know if any of this helps, but you'll grow out of it. Everyone does, some don't want to while others wish for it too quickly. Enjoy your teenage years, learn from it and grow.
cheerios

A little make-up is fine, but don't be a barbie, because nobody is perfect, but everyone is truly perfect in their own way. I have went through this, but I realized..it's not worth it to be so worried and depressed.
