You Dont Know Me

boyfriend was very popular? Me and my boyfriend are both in our late 20's. When I was in jr. high and the beginning of high school, I was very overweight and very tall for a girl (I hit 5'10 my 8th grade year). To say the very least, I was horribly awkward, and as such, I was a bit of a "late bloomer". I have since lost all my "baby weight" and am a very pretty tall girl (if I do say so myself).

But sometimes, me and my bf will be talking about first dances, first kisses, etc, and I just feel like such a loser dork. He was making out with girls in the back of the 7th grade dance. When I was in 7th grade, I just prayed to make it through the day without being made fun of.

This was so long ago, and Ive long since tried to be okay with being an "ugly duckling", so why the crap is it bothering me now? Its like....I almsot dont feel cool enough for my bf..hahahahaha. Any advice??
 
Like they say, " the ugly duckling always turns into a beautiful swan". Dont let the past bother you, I think that when we are all in middle school we always have to label ourselves, there is always the popular kids, the cheerleaders, football players, sluts, nerdy/geeky, the fat kids, the weirdo kids lol etc. Its so stupid to create all these types of labels but unfortunately it always has to happen. Anyway I think everyone at one point gets made fun of and we all understand how that feels, but then there comes a time when we feel that we are at our best stage of our lives and we feel like we have never looked so good before. Now that you're older just forget about everything that happened then and embrace your future.
