(And you look totaly adorbs in them.) <br />Congradulations on the list thing, but also on being so honest about your feelings about it. Don't beat yourself up too much about that either, we all secretly wish we could be on lists like that, even though we know in our minds they are silly.

You might as well enjoy the parts of high school that will be seen as completely insignificant and dumb a year from now. Just look at it as something fun instead of something super important and meaningful (as I'm sure a lot of those girls are looking at it). You're awesome and all the dumb high school things won't matter soon enough. There will always be petty, corrupt goings-on no matter where you are, though. Just take things with a grain of salt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015161846956232802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-22690502290230539542012-03-15T16:25:49.575-04:002012-03-15T16:25:49.575-04:00Lauren, having gone to high school with you, I mus...Lauren, having gone to high school with you, I must say...you are the absolute most WONDERFUL person!!

I spent the last four years working in one and you've hit the nail right on the head when saying it's pretty corrupt. So sad what society deems as cool or popular these days. I'm so happy for you...the list being a petty thing or not, it's just plain awesome that you can be on it and start the pendulum of change. It's the little things that count towards the bigger ones. You are an excellent example of who younger girls should look up to because of your character and integrity and not because of status or other meaningless things. Way to go Lauren. Don't be too hard on yourself about those humanly feelings...you are open and honest and have a sweet heart. :) xx MarisaMarisa Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783735879605619538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-21325432984624824062012-03-14T21:50:56.550-04:002012-03-14T21:50:56.550-04:00It is perfectly normal to feel that way, Lauren! ...It is perfectly normal to feel that way, Lauren!

But, boy, that competition is kinda a rough thing to have. I don't see how a school could do something like that. Wow. But you definitely deserve it. One day all of those popular people that sleep around and drink and tan ALL the time will realize that none of that means anything and it surely does not make them pretty one bit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654879931688120010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-90051167018677978382012-03-14T20:25:30.392-04:002012-03-14T20:25:30.392-04:00No hate at all!

You're a teenager, of course these things get to you. When I think of the things I stressed over as a teen, I cringe a little but accept it. It's part of the teenage experience. The point is, you can rationalize your feelings and know what's what. And that's the grownup part! :-)Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-91572755908065852972012-03-14T19:21:53.629-04:002012-03-14T19:21:53.629-04:00you look stunning!you look stunning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-67757979509828300762012-03-14T19:18:27.437-04:002012-03-14T19:18:27.437-04:00I'm really glad you're on that list Lauren...I'm really glad you're on that list Lauren. Now that a genuinely kind and beautiful person is on the list, there is hope for the quiet, lovely girls like you in the freshman year. <br /><br />You really deserve it and it ISN'T <br />something to be ashamed of. Everyone longs for acceptance and to feel great. You should feel great, you seriously deserve to be on this list. And you've made a completely valid point: the list shouldn't be derived from the popular and pretty social circle. In fact, this competition shouldn't even exist, but it does and you are on it for all the right reasons. Enjoy it, you deserve it. <br /><br />I love your outfit too, you look like a 1960's bombshell! <br />PS: I absolutely am certain no one is going to hate you for this post... on the contrary; you are being honest and telling us how you really feel AND making a point that everyone else is thinking. xoxoMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036474663632760429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844733460276130832.post-24701103864176984182012-03-14T18:45:31.680-04:002012-03-14T18:45:31.680-04:00Why would we hate you?

I remember being in high school and finding out that I had made the SHORT LIST for "the list" we had for prettiest eyes. I took TREMENDOUS satisfaction in that. Hey, we're only human and we need love and attention and admiration. <br /><br />I also found out years later that I WAS considered "hot" by a lot of the guys...but they wouldn't touch me with a ten-foot pole because I didn't sleep around. It was a double-edged sword, but in the long-run I felt GOOD that they knew better than to even try to mess with me! Obviously my convictions were strong and I wasn't going to be one of THOSE girls!<br /><br />Embrace the experience and rejoice in it! Even you yourself said that it was an opportunity to show that the "minority" CAN win!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
