Don't be jealous of all of the girls that you see at school, you'll be even harder on yourself. Here's a tip that my cousin taught me.
Every day, say 3 things that you like about yourself in the mirror when you're waking up, getting ready to go to school, ect. It will boost your self esteem and make you proud of who you are. [ xxsima's advice column | Ask xxsima A Question ]
TheTeenGirl answered Tuesday April 25 2006, 11:38 pm: Well, let me put it to you this way. The girls that you've been jealous of, they may seem like they have it all, but they do have many insecurities just like you do.
Without having a little insecurity about ourselves, we wouldn't love our good traits and features as much as we do. Without feeling pain or hurt, we wouldn't feel as great when we feel pleasure. Most of the time when girls have something they hate about themselves, it's not as bad as they make it out to be. It's usually something small, and if it isn't, then it's something you will likely learn to love later on.
Now, I know you may be thinking that you'll never learn to love your smile or your nose, but I'm sure that there was a time when a friend had an insecurity and you thought that it was ridiculous and small or that it's a good thing. When you said that a lot of your friends and other girls always tell you how pretty you are, maybe they think those insecurities you have are actually pretty great on you. Your smile and your nose is part of what makes you yourself. Just remember that all insecurities are usually not a big deal and everyone has them.

Like you said you're self-concious, so you might be making it a bigger deal than it really is. Don't waste your time worrying about it and you'll be alot happier!
