hey gorgeous! well i know totally how ya feel! most teenage girls are like this though! totally insecure and think... if i could just have her eyes... lips... or butt... u kno what i mean. if people constantly tell u ur pretty...then chances are u are pretty. ur friends arent going 2 lie 2 u and tell u ur pretty just because. concentrate on ur good features... like thank god i have high cheekbones... and try 2 enjoy what u see in the mirror. i know its hard and can be depressing.. but even the most gorgeous girls go through this stage. spice up ur look a bit.. get some hot new highlights or sexy new pants. chances r ur not gonna turn gothic from being sad about what u look like. gothics are people who choose 2 be gothic and if u dont wanna be gothic.... u dont have 2 be! ask me ne thing ne time! hope i helped ya hun! good luck! xOxO, aLeX!

First of all, smile. It automatically makes you feel better, and helps prevent wrinkles. Lol. You should just look in the mirror and say "Darlin', you are beautiful!" even if you don't feel that way saying it will probably make you feel better. Find ya a group of friends, too, that will make you laugh and that'll help out the depressed thing cause when I feel bad all I do is goof-off with my friends and my bad mood is GONE! and if you ever need to talk I got my e-mail and stuff on my site I think so just contact me there and I'll talk to ya. I'm pretty goofy sometimes so I might be able to cheer ya up. Well, hoped I helped. Hehe =)

xForeverxForgottenx answered Monday August 30 2004, 9:31 pm:
well im the same way. and it sounds like you are depressed. i have to take pills for it and it only helps a little. if you want to feel better, try writing. it really does help. try doing something that you like to do and go with it. like for example: i love to write poetry. and i have a whole bunch of pomes and i write about how i feel in them. but if you ever need someone to talk to just leave one in my inbox and i'll be happy to talk or just listen if you'd like. hope i help and please talk to me if you want to. i dont want you to end up like me.

i used to think that but then i tried lookin at myself from their point of view and i saw that i am pretty and not to sound cocky but sometimes you need to be you need to see that every person is pretty no one is ugly

i use to feel the same way. I always think im ugly but everyone says i look pretty good... i don't like to believe them.. so i don't. But... i was always sad about everything too.. everything i did.. saw.. ppl i knew.. and i found out y. What ever u were happy about before.. try goin back to those things that made u happy before. It may be the ppl u hang out with.. if they are always sad and depressed too.. that could be the problem..that was the problem for me.. i found it best to get away from them ppl for awhile, and it worked... i am a lot happier than i was... sooo maybe it might work for you too....

hope i helped a little

You could be clinically depressed. Take this test ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) to see if you might be. It's important that you have the resources and support you need to deal with things.

Also, try listening to what other people say about you - you probably really are pretty! Think about your good qualities, dance around to fun music, write poetry, work on developing some of your stronger skills. There's something cool about every person.

i have/had this problem too but i didnt wanna be gothic .. you just need to take the good with the bad as it comes to you .. take things one at a time .. you prolly feel over whelmed with everything .. i just have a lot of guys who are just friends and idk .. i like that better then having a boyfriend sometimes .. dont worry so much about everything

I think the same way! i think im ugly and fat but all my friends think different..just accept yourself the way you are and im sure your gorgeous cause your friends wouldn't be saying anything if it wasn't true! Just accept the way you are and think about all the beautiful things god has givin you on this earth! Im sorry that you feel that way to!
