Lately ive been feeling really..just plain ugly. i mean sometimes i look in the mirror and im like wow im kindA pretty. but then like sometimes its like i see something totally different. i feel really self-conscious about myself when i go to school games. like hockey and basketball games. i feel like when people look at me..their lookin at my flaws. i know most arent lookin at me because they think im [pretty] well i shouldnt assume but you know. i hate looking at the super gorgeous girls..it just makes me really jealous..but then again when i see other people im that that i look the way i am. i mean i cant take what i have for granite. but i dont know what can i do to make me less self-conscious. and less shy and more outgoing and not care what people think of me.
You can't compare yourself to girls in a magazine or on TV because in a magazine, the girls really don't look like that, they fix that on a computer, by making them look skinnier and fixing there make up, they have professionals who fix them up, do there hair and make up.
Girls, are just mean like that, they like to bring other girls down to feel better about themselves. Boys, they do it to look cool or thats there way of flirting with you.
You just can't pay attention to the mean comments you get from people, you're going to get dirty looks from girls because girls are like that, trust me. They do that because they're usually jealous of you.
When you see people you know at school, the mall, anywhere you go, just be like "Hey! How are you?!" and just go up to them and if they're with someone you don't know, introduce yourself, be like "Hi, I'm _____" that'll gradully get you to be not so shy.
I hope this helps and if you need anything else, just leave a message in my inbox.

Don't worry sweetheart, this is just a horrible faze your going through. Sometimes I get those days too. One day I look in the mirror and think wow I actually look pretty good, and then other days I look and I want to break down and cry because I don't see anything I like in myself. Before I use to be very self conscious about myself and just like you I always thought people weren't looking at me but at all my flaws. The truth is no one notices your flaws except you. No one even cares. They have their own flaws and problems to be worried about. Maybe you are right, maybe people are looking because they find you to be pretty. In that case don't sweat it! Even those pretty girls that your jealous of have flaws and hate something about themselves that they would like to change. In order to make your self feel beautiful you must believe you are. You have to build your confidence. If you act as if you are beautiful soon enough you'll start to believe it. Confidence is the key to beauty. Once you have confidence you'll get beauty, and others around you will find you beautiful.
