Everytime I look in the mirror I feel horrible I mean people tell me I'm beautiful or w/e but I just don't see it and I really swear I CANNOT SEE IT. Then, my best friends I've like blocked them from my emotions and my thoughts because I feel like their fake liars...it just feels everythings going to crumble and I wanna cry for no reason. Is this something teens go through or do I need to talk to someone?

Basically all teenage girls go through that. But everyone handles it differently.

You sound like me. I never am able to believe my boyfriend when he tells me I look good, like I know he is not lying but I just cannot accept the fact that anyone thinks I look good. I just feel like I am the ugliest person in the world...even though I know that is not true, I still feel like it.

I think a good way to handle this is to try and just learn to accept what they are saying, I mean this is such a common thing teenagers go throught, and it is sometimes hard to believe that you actually look good. But I am sure you are really pretty, and you just cannot accept that.

One thing that I try and do, is just look at myself in the mirror and try and find my best quality. I know you probably think you do not have any, but you do. I mean I am really insecure but I can still look in the mirror and find at least one thing I like about myself. It took at while for me to find something, but I did. So try that, and slowly work your way from one thing to two things to three things etc...

Really it does work, because I can totally relate to you, and I am still going through those feelings now, but by looking in the mirror and trying to find my good qualities, it has given me a little more self esteem, and sometimes I actually feel a little good about myself.

I really hope everything works out for you..
