My friend has always been better than me. She's a great artist, Decent poet (Most of the things she writes aren't even poetry, just descriptive writing), she has a good singing voice, and she always seems to get a lot of attention. But, I always get shunned. Both my friend and I would be drawing something, and someone will look at both of ours, and say "Nice drawing, ___", without even making a remark at mine. We used to have Challenges at our art activity, too try and draw something. One day, it could be "Only use this once colour," or "Only draw using lines", etc. I came up with idea, because a lot of us didn't have anything to do at activity period. But one of our friends decided to make it into a contest. I ended up stopping it, because my friend would almost always win. But what really saddens me is this: We joke about how bad my art is. I don't want to, but she always does. One day, in class, I finished my work really early, so I spent the rest of the class period drawing this girl, and I was really proud of. I showed it to her, but she just laughed and thought I was joking. That day, I went home and ripped up that drawing, even though I loved it so much.
Whenever my friend is writing something, everyone considers it poetry. But it's not. She just draws something and puts something that would be related to poetry in its words, but it never is. And whenever I make an actual piece of writing, nobody gives it any praise. Now, you may have read her vent art, or what ever it is, and she mentions our English Teacher in it. Now, I'm pretty sure I was the teacher's pet in English. She always loved me, and probably my friend too. But I always think of her when my friend always gets a compliment on her writing. I was always amazing to her, even if I wasn't to others. That's why I love writing, because you can be anything, and you can almost never screw up. But I never read fantasy books anymore, because I know I'm not extraordinary, I'll never get a letter to Hogwarts, I'll never get a Savvy, and I'll never get pulled for the Hunger Games.
Also, she's so used to being perfect. She has won a JMD. Soon after that, we went to a fun fair at my church. We had a raffle, and one of the prizes was an iPad mini. She the number was 5-some numbers long, and the girl picking the numbers got it, how funny! But my friend had the same first 3-some numbers, and the last two numbers were 47. The last two winning numbers were 74. She freaked out because she didn't win. I told her that you couldn't win everything, but I don't think she can accept it.
I'm not normal, I'm worse the normal. I'm not perfect, like she is. I can't do anything, and whenever I try, she always points out to me that I'm not perfect. I guess I'll never be.

Just tell your friend how it makes you feel when she makes fun of your art. Me and my twin friend are like that. She's always been a great artist, and the only thing about my drawings that was ever good about mine were the eyes. What I did was ask her for some advice on how to switch it up and make it better, and I slowly got better with advice, not criticism.
I think you need to remind her that no one is perfect, but maybe asking for advice instead of letting her laugh at your drawings might help pull the competition out of your friendship.

Sometimes I get really mad at her but I don't know if I should tell her that whenever she hangs out with a whole bunch of other people it hurts my feelings. She did it all year, even at her b-day party. and if i do tell her then how? and i don't want to be the bad jealous friend even though i don't have that many friends...

I'm scared to go to school now but I know I have other friends, I just don't want to feel like a burden not them
Also my relationship is crashing and burning after months of intensive rehabilitation and efforts on both our parts. I owe it to one girl who got between us and caused this mess. It's scary to give up now. I need a hug and some support.
*hugs* Don't listen to those mean girls. They aren't worth it. You won't be a burden to your friends, they will want to help youThings will get better <3 Trust me
If you truly love each other, things will work out.
Don't worry about it and do what you think is best. I'll be here if you need to talk <3
I'm trying to compose myself and just keep it together - if anyone asks il say it isn't their concern. Mean girls suck and but they're uneducated about my issues and are making every assumption just to start something ... Some people love me I know and hopefully this will blow over
My only concern is the boy, because he won't speak to me at the moment and refuses to disclose what they said at schoolI know I've already lost him..
