well....every gurl goes through a stage of not being confident with themselves. you will get through it, you just have to keep the good attitude for yourself and not care soo much about what people say. i dunno about your religion but we are all gods children and we are all gorgous no matter what other ppl say! dont forget that hun! hope i helped

I tend to have this problem, too. Only people call me beautiful, skinny, all these different things, but when I look in the mirror, I don't see what they do. I'm always criticizing myself, but I can't control it. But then there's always those other people that try and put you down and make you feel like.. well.. you know. One of my boyfriend's friends always calls me fat, just for fun. But it really does hurt me. Some things that help me, are just to totally take my mind off of it. Also, do something that would make you feel pretty! I love getting my nails and toes done, those always make me feel a little better about myself. Just little things like that could boost your confidence. Also, look in the mirror, and tell yourself you love what you see, you would'nt change anything. Just compliment yourself, even if you don't believe what you're saying. Compliments always make me happy! Try it! Hope I helped a little, good luck, I'm sure you're really beautiful! <3

sometimes that would happen to me because when someone asks me something it's hard to say no. As long as you got a few true friends you are going to be just fine. Just think postively and the day will turn out better.If you go to school knowing your day is going to be great it will be. Try not to let negative things get in the way.

Don't worry about what other people think. Tell yourself that no matter what other people think the only opinion that really matters is yours. A lot of people have this happen but trust me, don't let what people say get to you.

Confidence is very hard to raise, let me warn you of that. But it can be done if you are actually willing to raise it, and you want it. A lot of times, if your confidence within yourself is too high, it could be high enough to the point where you just don't care about lots of things, and it can be bad and good. The good in it, is that you've got the guts to speak your mind in front of everyone even if it means saying something stupid or something that nobody else agrees with, yes, that definetly takes self confidence. Now, to reach my point of your question, everyday, set a goal in your head, that you will try not to say anything rude, or bad about yourself, and if you catch yourself doing it, say "hey, thats not what I meant, boy, I'm being cute right now, I made a mistake like other human beings" I know it sounds cheesy and stupuid, but just work on it. Remember to believe in yourself about it.

I think everyone at some point has had a problem with confidence. It's normal to let what people say get to your head. You can't help that. Just do your best to not let them convince you that they are right. More than likely people just say things to be mean. You have to remember that. People don't always think before they speak. Don't let anyone affect what you think of yourself.

soccerandhockey!!! answered Monday February 21 2005, 2:52 am:
give yourself confidence boosters when you need them most like telling yourself how wonderful you are.

if you believe that you are cool or beautiful, than other peoepl will start to believe it too.
when someone gives you a compliment, say thank you instead of " o ur just saying that

do NOT let what other peopel say influence you for example if you LOVE a pair of jeans but your friend says they are uncool buy them,they are your jeans.

I also suggest buying a book called The girls guide to loving yourself, it gives advice on confidence boosters, it talks about family and just teen stuff. Hope this helps!!
