Every girl feels this way though. Even my beautiful cousin thinks shes ugly and sometimes fat. It's not true. You're probably really pretti. The think is if you think in your head and you keep telling yourself that you're pretty and skinyy then soon enough you'll look like that in the mirror. I used to beat myself up and people would tell me that I'm really pretti but I always thought I was the ugly girl that wasnt gonna ever get a date. So I started saying to myself that I was pretti and skinny and I do look that way to me now. It's not about what other people think. You have to feel pretti 1st. ok!!! hope that works 4 you!

You could get dressed up, look in the mirror and think you look so great. But when you go outside and you see a girl that you want to look like , you hang your head down because in YOUR head she is better than you and you feel stupid for trying. Sometimes a makeover can help boost confidence. Try doing something new. Do something different than everyone else with your hair, or clothes. Keep your head up when you cross paths with them. Nothing is more attractive than a girl with confidence. There are plenty of women out there who are beautiful and they arent 100 pounds 5'7 blonde hair blue eyes. They are beautiful because they hold their heads high. Do the same. [ lilmegsoko's advice column | Ask lilmegsoko A Question ]

You could also try some new makeup styles or buy a new outfit. [ Ashumms's advice column | Ask Ashumms A Question ]
christina answered Saturday April 28 2007, 12:39 am: When you're 15 years old, you're almost never going to like how you look, act, talk or dress. Nothing is good enough for you. And that's fine. You're 15. Things don't have to click yet. Life at this time is about fun & being spontaneous & random. When you're a teenager, life is about finding yourself & finding out who you are. Every week I change my mind about myself. I change my mind about my look, my career path, my clothes, my personality, everything. And it'll probably never stop until I'm older & wiser.
Like you, I like the way I look half the time. The other half I'm critisizing everything about myself & talking down on myself. Sometimes I think I'm pretty, sometimes I think I'm ugly. Sometimes I think I'm fat, sometimes I think I'm skinny. My thoughts are forever changing. And it's just because I don't know who the hell I am yet. And I've still got plenty of time to figure it out.
Try not to care what other people think of you. Nobody's opinions matter. If you wanna dye your hair purple & get 10 trillion piercings because that's what you like, then do it. If you wanna be a teacher & dress like a teenager at the same time, then do it. Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you feel comfortable, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. When you stop caring how other people look at you & what they think about you, you'll be much happier. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
meganbou answered Saturday April 28 2007, 12:32 am: well why should you care about what what other people think just hang out with a group like you but if you are a loner then just ignore them and hang out with friends YOU have a good time with.
