Answer #1

1.) If you are interested in the technology that your school has to offer, than you should talk to a school counsler, dean, or principal.. and let them know that technology really excites and interests you.. and that you really want to learn how to use it… there might be some classes you can get into that would allow you to use that technology.

2.) People are always going to have things that you dont have…ALWAYS. its a part of life. There will always be someone in your life that will have more than you.. and there always will be people that have less than you. Thats how life works. So the way I see it, is that you get over the jealousy that you have.. its pointless. You can sit there and dwell about the things you dont have.. or the places you cant go.. but its only going to make you miserable. Be mature about- and be happy for your cousin.. that she gets to go somewhere cool overseas.. Ya sure it would be cool if you could too… but you cant.. so be happy with the things you have here.. Make a list of all the good things you DO have in your life NOW… imagine if you didnt have any of those things.. be happy for what you do have and it will help you to get over your jealousy

Answer #3

Realize: ALL of us have ups and downs in our lives - you cannot live the life of your cousin - your cousin has different talents and weaknesses than you - you certainly have talents she doesn’t have - that is common - to struggle when you reached high school is definately common to many, if not most - I know I did ! but you’ll get through it - this too will pass - the jealousy just drags YOU down - stay optimistic (look around at your blessings) and keep your head high, you’ll be fine…Take care !!
