I need a self esteem boost!?

[Jenna]

I'll be forward with this, right now i am not feeling very pretty. I always wear jeans and a cute top (at least i think its cute & have been told that other people like it too) with flats or something and my hair has a natural really pretty curl to it my eyes are wide and dark brown my skin is nice and tan (i'm middle eastern and you can tell it) but lately, i've been intimidated by the white girls in my school. i like to wear shorts but my parents wont let me they think that if i wear it all the guys will try to do things lol but it's NOT LIKE THAT everyone wears shorts!!!!! why can't they accept that!!! and the reason why i want to wear them is because i feel like my outfit looks better with it!!! but when i tell my parents that they tell me that school isn't a fashion show -.- can i just have some words that'll make me happier right now? i'm feeling kinda down.
