If You're A Girl In High School Who Feels Like She Doesn't Belong

Cliques don't define you.

High school is full of cliques. Everywhere you look is a group of friends gathered together in the hallway as you walk to class, talking about things that, in their world, are important. You overhear conversations but have no idea what they are really talking about.

Who are you in this story?

You are the girl who doesn't belong to any clique.

Maybe you used to belong to a group of friends. You grew up with a close-knit group of girls, and you did everything with them. You played sports together, talked about boys, and so on, just like any normal girl growing up.

But one day, that all changed. For one reason or another, you grew apart.

At this point, you're crushed. Who wouldn't be? You no longer feel loved by your friends, and you feel like no one cares about you. You spend your weekends at home because you feel that you have nobody to hang out with.

As a girl in high school, this feels like the end of the world. There is no coming back from this. You feel like you don't belong anywhere.

What I am about to say next is extremely important. I need you to really focus and believe me when I say this.

You will get through this.

High school is only four years of your life. When you graduate, you can move on to bigger and better things. You will meet new people, and get the chance to reinvent yourself.

There are so many things in this world that are awaiting you. College, a career, finding love, and so much more. Once you get out there and see what the world has to offer, you will forget about all those times in high school where you felt like you didn't belong anywhere.

You will find so much happiness. I promise.

If you don't belong to any clique in high school, don't worry about it. Those four years don't define you.

Only you can define you.

And one more thing.

You are loved.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
