thats like exacly the same as me people say that im not fat which every girl thinks she is and that im not pretty...but you should just do things for youself and maybe listen to what people are saying everyone is pretty in their own way i bet your fine the way you are

Just trust your friends when they are telling you that you are pretty...friends dont lie. Knowing that your friends think that highly of you should boost your confidence. Also know that you are beautiful no matter what! Walk with your head high and you will turn heads.

I know exactly wut u r going thru! I still kinda think like u r! The best way to fix it is just say to yourself you r pretty and try not to think of yourself negative, or compare ur self 2 other ppl. That only makes things worse. U r ur own individual and u should be happy about ur self! Just believe every1 and try to think positive!
Good luck!

Ask your friends and loved ones to write good things about you on strips of paper.... put all of these in a jar... then when you are feeling bad pull one out, instant compliment! and also when you wake up every morning say to yourself "I am a beautiful and confident person" if you tell yourself this long enough... you'll know it's true! If you feel really bad about your weight... just exercise a little more.. like go on bike rides or something. this should help you feel better about being "fat", becasue you know you are exercising! i hope these sugguestions helped! IF you need anymore ideas PLZ ask me!

Yeah, this is a tough one. BUT, what you need to realize (and focus your attention on) are your qualities OTHER than your looks. Once you become comfortable with yourself as a person, the physical things start to become less important. The people who will like you only for your looks aren't the kind of people you want in your life, anyway!

Well... from my experience... I just say to myself in the mirror okay im fat and im ugly but im smart and that's what is going to get me through in the world... but also work out because working out makes endorphins and endorphins make you happy... it doesn't matter if you're ugly or fat but as long as people see you as being happy and yourself then looks don't matter anymore

its just something u need to try to convince urself as.. ALWAYS think positive and be the happy person u r to ur friends even when they rnt there. if ur friends call u pretty, u know they rnt gunna lie to u, so just belive them! bc i bet u r really pretty n skinny =)

Most girls always say i am so fat or so ugly for attention. but some actualy think they are. Well it depends on your age and your weight. If you are in your ttens like 13-15 i would say the best weight would be from 100-120 range. if your like from the 16-20 limit i would say 125-145. for your looks... i would trust your friends... i mean if you cant trust them then why are they your friends?

hope maybe i helped??

you know i actualy did a study on this, all girls think they are fat and ugly. well 95/100 anyways or its some big number like that i dont remember the exact one. anyways best thing you can do is ask people if they say youre fat and ugly then youre fat and ugly if they say your hot then youre hot.

Your physical appearrance really shouldnt matter.. its ur personality that counts because personality can change a person's whole perceptive. Like if u have a great personality, then guys will begin to believe that you are beautiful. Just act confident..tell yourself that you are confident and beautiful even if u dont believe it at first.. and eventually u will begin to BE confident. Maybe if u dont already, u could start to wear make up and do something cute with ur hair and wear clothes that make u look good. And I knw this has like nothing to do with ur looks but if u join a sport or a club at ur school u will gain self confidence because u will see that u can do things that u never thought u could do.. and u can BE what u never thought u could be.. Well i hope i helped good luck!

maybe if you start to exercise (or more if you do already) and even if you don't lose weight or anything, it may make you feel better because you are doing something to change it. it may help you to get your self esteem back.
