Wow- what would I tell my 16 year-old self? Where do I start?
First - honey, you know nothing! You think you know it all but you don't. Your parents may not be up on everything that's new, but they actually know about the important stuff. Like, yes, you may be skinny now, but without exercise and good eating habits, it won't last.
Keep writing. You're good at it and if you keep doing it you will get better. Honest. Don't be so afraid to try harder and put yourself out there to be seen. What are you afraid of?
Yes, your mom was right - those 'popular' girls are not as pretty or as smart as you are. In a couple of years, you won't even remember their names. Some will get fat, some will marry and divorce many times, few will even go to college, let alone law school. And later in life when Facebook is created, some of them will want to be "friends" with you even though they don't give you the time of day now. How hilarious is that?!
And sex, well you won't know what good sex is until you know what you're doing and HE knows what he's doing, so don't rush into anything. Trust me, the boys you know DON'T know what they're doing! Don't waste your time..
On the other hand, you had really good taste in music and clothes. You established a style that suited you and you knew who you were. Good job!
