Do you not know how to love? You get it half right and then you desire to possess and to own the other person.
Damn. I have a huge tangent cooked up for you, but I'm too tired to type it out. Maybe someday.

To an extent, jealousy is a natural emotion. A problem arises when it's accompanied by malice towards the person you're envious of. The best way to deal with this, I guess, is to get something positive out of it by treating it as a motivator, instead of letting it negate shit.
What kind of things are you jealous of? Popularity and all trhat goes with it? That's actually not too hard to deal with; do things you enjoy, get into reading or drawing or writing (or what ever you're interested in). If you're happy, it won't bother you as much if people don't accept you as you are. If it's stuff like people getting into a better college or lucking into jobs (I looked on your profile, but it wasn't filled - I don't know how old you are) that makes you jealous, focus on achieving things for yourself.

You are mental. Grow a coping mechanism. You will find one in the Chia Pet aisle od Wal-Mart.

I think she is inexperienced because she is young.

You´re not mental, you´re just a disfunctional person. Put things in your mind in order. Decide what you want to be. You ask yourself: Do I want to bring order or disorder to this world ?

She's not dysfunctional. She's just young and naive.
Instead of worrying about other people. Focus solely on bettering yourself. As you do this, you'll learn that is really doesn't matter what other people have or do not have compared to you because that's their path to have and not have. You have your own path to follow that's full of its own haves and not haves. All of which will make you grow and become a better, more well rounded person.

This is good advice for another reason too: when you better yourself, others will see you as more attractive. As you follow your own path, people will admire you for your confidence and determination. Not many will find someone who is helplessly blown about by the wind to be attractive.

She's not young and naive. She's just insecure.
Figure out who you are. It'll take time, but once you know what you want, your jealousies may calm down.
*sigh* Someone else's turn now.

It's typical teen age behavior. You are young, naive, insecure, unable to cope with emotions and all that goes along with those crazy teen age years.
There is nothing wrong with you that millions of teens haven't experienced before . Learning to deal with emotions is part of growing up and believe it or not the emotional center of your brain is still developing and has a way yet to go . So you may quiet literally outgrow this emotional quandary you find yourself in.
Be patient with yourself

Heh. I just found this thread. I think the posts say a lot about the people posting them.
I'm really happy I came across G-net.

I've been there
Still sort of am, but I know it comes from my own insecurity.
