jealously that is not needed

i know this sounds really pathetic but just now i was looking on facebook at the pictures of these really popular girls at my school and they really seem to have the perfect life. look amazing, have so much fun going to parties all the time, perfect boyfriend, have a really rich families etcetc. i feel slightly crap because i guess i wish i could be like that in some ways but i know at the same time im quite happy with where i am atm. i do have great friends,not really hated by anyone, am very sociable and there are a lot more worse problems i could have. but i cant just help feel slightly inadequate and also kind of jealous that i dont have that. i guess maybe i would like to experience that for one day...

i dont really know what im looking for. i just needed to get that off my chest but any advice how to get over this/comments would be welcomed.

Other peoples lives are never as good as they look on the outside.

Be thankful for what you have cause theres always people in worse situations.

like i said i know i could have worse problems implying that there are people in worse situations.
i dont get why people say "be thankful" ... how do you be thankful. i cant just force myself to suddenly decided okay im going to be thankful... if you get what i mean?

You have to put up with what you've been given and look forward to what you want to achieve in the future.

You cant change the fact that you werent born into a family worth millions but you do have a choice about the job and lifestyle you live in the future.

don't care about them - goodness knows how many of them i have seen. They come out of a factory.. seriously! mass-produced! its more important to be you rather than to be something that you are not
you will feel more comfortable to be you rather to suit and fit into the shoes of a mass produced product

Accept yourself as you are, you don't want to be the same as everybody else.

To put it bluntly, you could be dead

By that I mean the following. No matter how bad things are or you think they are, remind yourself that you still have your life. Works for me when I get down.
