lillegend222 answered Saturday July 3 2004, 7:11 pm: don't worry about the way you look worry about the way you act. i used to always look in the mirror and think about how ugly i am. it really started to get me down so i covered up my mirror. that way i had no clue if i looked bad or not. it really did help because i created a good self image of me.;) [ lillegend222's advice column | Ask lillegend222 A Question ]
rainbowcherrie answered Saturday July 3 2004, 5:55 am: Write two lists: things you like about you and things you dislike. now look at the dislike list and cross off the things you can change so you do like them. then cross off the things everyone has problems with. now look at the list of dislikes..it's not so long now is it? sure they'll be things that are still there and will always be there but it's much shorter than the list of things you *DO* like about yourself. Oh and one more thing, every morening, when you wake up, take a look in the mirror, give yourself a *BIG* smile and tell yourself that you're a beautiful young woman (you are a girl right?)hope i helped, <33333333333333 :D [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]

Siren_Cytherea answered Friday July 2 2004, 11:15 pm: I feel your pain. I had low confidence when I was about your age. Then it went back up in 9th grade, then down again after that, and has just recently gone up. Lol.
You've just gotta learn to love yourself and every little flaw you have. Just tell yourself you're a goddess every day and convince yourself that you are beautiful, because you are. =)

L0VELLE answered Friday July 2 2004, 10:51 pm: hey there...wow i completely know what you're feeling like- i went through that too..i don't know why, but it's that whole tween/teen phase that we all go through and just never stop picking at things...we always find something bad about ourselves...but the way to boost your self-confidence is get involved..once you find something you really like and are good at, you'll begin to notice more qualities about yourself that make you a great person..which i'm sure you are, don't focus so much on the models/other girls- because each person has flaws even though you may think they dont...heng in there- it get's easier..as long as you know you're the best you can be, things will seem to be much easier...hope i helped :)
