I know it hurts when people say something about you that puts you down. But the best thing you can do... Is just keep your chin up.. and realize that you are a beautiful girl and that no matter what anybody says to you... you will always have your own confidence. If you think you are ugly... Try doing stuff with your hair.. or maybe even a little make-up and see if that makes you feel better about yourself. I know someone who usta hate seeing herself in pictures.... in the mirror because people always put her down.. But she started wearing make-up and having confidence in herself.. and now... She is always staring in the mirror.. and smiling.. and when she gets a very good compliment... Her ego gets pretty big.lol.. I hope this helped a little..
xForeverxForgottenx answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 2:24 pm: well i was the same way as you until i met my bf and we've been together for almost a year. i felt ugly just as you do and im 15 now also so i didnt listen when guys said something nice about me. but my b/f has treated me better than my ex's have and im starting to feel better about myself. just start to see some good things in yourself. like what do you like most about your face? for me its my eyes because they're grey. its different for everyone but you should put yourself down because it just makes it worse. try not to do that so much and then you'll start to do it less and less and hopefully you'll find a guy who will make you feel beautiful(like you probably are). hope i helped.

Blondie04 answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:41 pm: Don't put yourself down abotu how you look. Think positively. Look at yourself in a different view. I'm sure you don't look that bad. I'm almost sure you have a beautiful personality and if the people (guys) would look at your inside self, and not what you physically look like, they might just see a totally different person than the had expected. God doesn't care about your physical appearance, just what is written on your heart. That's what other people should look at as well. Take it from someone who used to think just like that (me). Now, I don't really care what other people think, including my parents and boyfriend. [ Blondie04's advice column | Ask Blondie04 A Question ]

the_haha_boat answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:13 pm: When people do tell you that you look good you should just say 'thank you' instead of 'yeah right' Boost your confidence alittle. Yeah, your right you do need a guy who will treat you better. Everyone always thinks there is SOMETHING wrong with their appearence, but you should try to point out your good qualities too.
