ugly
I always feel so ugly. Whenever I see the pretty girls at my school I just feel all bad and wish I would be as pretty as them. I'm always so self concious about the way I look now. I don't know why i'm like this. I used to be so confident and didn't care how I look. Will I ALWAYS be like this?
:(

Honestly, how many girls do you know that can say to themselves, "I'm beautiful!" and actually believe it? I don't know many. Think of those beautiful girls that you see every day at school. You can assume that they're confident, right? WRONG. The "beautiful" ones are those who are standing in front of the mirror for hours on end, asking their friends if their butt looks big in their jeans. They're the ones who are putting on insane amounts of make-up. With observation, you'll agree with me.
You're a teenager. Teens are notorious for low self-esteem. Everyone has the "feeling ugly" phase, but it lasts longer and takes a larger toll on some people. Thankfully, most teenagers grow out of it as they age, because eventually, certain things (college, careers) become more important than appearance. You will probably always think about what you look like, but it won't consume your life if you don't allow it to.
The real problem isn't your looks; Your problem is your self-esteem, and that lies within you. Since you can't change the way you look, you just have to learn to accept it. Going on and on about every single little flaw you may have will NOT make it go away. You spend time thinking about your flaws, right? That's precious time that you'll never get back; time that could be spent making memories with the people you love.
From the physical standpoint, you can do many things. For one, you can wear make-up that flatters your facial features. You can ask your mom, a friend, an older sister, or you can find books and websites to learn how to do that.
Finding a personal style is good, too. No, I don't mean wearing what everyone else wears; I mean that you should find clothes that you like that show off your best traits and flatter your body type. I can't help you here, since I don't know what you look like, but I'm sure you can find websites that can help.
You really have two choices: Love and accept yourself, or dwell on what you can't change and be miserable.
You only live once, and you are the one person you will be with for the rest of your life.
Do you want to be with someone who loves you, or with someone who hates you? It's your call.
I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

Its normal for teenagers to feel ugly sometimes. We all have low-self esteem or confidence sometimes. Its normal. Once you learn to accept your body, you'll be fine. Try getting dolled up! Do something special with your hair, try a little makeup, and wear a cute shirt. You'll feel ten times better about yourself, and guys love girls who are confident.
Good luck!

No, you probably won`t feel like that always. It`s probably just puberty because a lot of teenage girls feel like that for a while. Just try to make yourself look a bit prettier if you want :] Or just wait for the feeling to go away.
Hope I helped :]
