  5. Annie says:

    hey? My comment does’t appear!! Did you get it??

  6. Annie says:

    Ok, here I go again. For some reason my comment didn’t got to the ‘comments part’. (I should add THAT to the reasons why it sucks to be me!)

    Why does it suck to be me? I’ll give you 10 reasons!!
    1) I have an older sister.
    2) She’s the most beautiful girl in the hole world (or, at least, in my city, wich doesn’t change anything for me!).
    3) Almost everybody has a crush on her.
    4) She knows it.
    5) Max (MY Max!!) has a crush on her.
    6) She knows it!!!
    7) They met at the party where I was going to tell him how much I like him. 8) She got there first.
    9) Wearing MY dress.
    10) And now the’re dating!!

    Ok. So, this doesn’t suck as much as the whole ‘vampire thing’. Bit it still suks. Good thing about my life?: My sister doesn’t read (ok, she does, but only what she’s told to!).

    This book sounds amazing!!

    I also tweeted about the contest -in spanish ;)

    I’ll see if I can add another entry once my exams are done (ANOTHER reason why it suck to be me, tough it can be applied to many people!)

    Thanks a lot!!

    Annie!

    Why does it suck to be me?
    1) I’m in love with my best friend.
    2) He is dating a girl </3
    3) I helped him date her (yes, I'm stupid).
    4) He told me everything about her (even their 1st time! :S)
    5) She hates me (and I don't know why, maybe because I'm close to him).
    6) She is pretty and popular.
    7) She spreads rumors about me. 8) People totally believe her.
    9) My best friend is starting to believe her :__(
    10) A lot of people follow her and hate me with no reason.
    11) They makes jokes about me.
    12) Now I don't want to go to school or to anywhere where I know they will be in (like discos) :'(

    Sorry, my comment became so saaad…
    Good things: My family loves me, my best friends are great… they make me smile and forget the bad things :)

    Hi! awesome contest! I really want to read your book! I didn’t know that It came out in spanish! Great :)

    so…Why does it suck to be me?
    1. i’m short and a little fat (but it doesn’t matter to me so it’s not
    exactly a reason)
    2. I lost almost all of my friends and it’s my fault.
    3. that year I’m going to go to another school.
    4. and My boyfriend got upset because of that.
    5. I don’t have any friends there so I’m going to be “the new student”
    and I’m really shy, so… its going to be hard meet people..
    6. My keyboard doesn’t have the letters “t” and “y” so every time I need them I have to copy and paste the letters from a website or whatever . Can you imagine that? it’s horrible! and it’s a laptop so I can’t just buy a new keyboard. I dont know what to do! :(
    7. I studied english since I was 10 (now I’m 16) and I’m sure that what I’m writting right now has a lot of mistakes (a Lot!) so I feel really upset with myself.

    I can’t imagine real reasons why it’s sucks to be me! OMG hahaha. I have a boyfriend a best friend (just one but I don’t need more) and my english is not that bad! I can speak really well when nobody is listening to me hahaha.
    I think that my life suck! but every teen around the world think that! so.. is really Sucks to Be Me? I don’t know but I’m happy and that’s the important!

    Sorry if I couldn’t answer your question!
    I tweet about the contest!
