I really like this guy and I know he will probably never like me! What is there to like? I'm so ugly, I'm not as pretty as everyone else. I feel so hideous! I have unwanted hair, like on my upper lip, hands and legs, and I am a girl! How do I make myself feel pretty? I'm not even allowed to shave!

LOL_x0x answered Tuesday September 16 2008, 4:54 pm: First off, never say that no guy will like you, because there is somebody out there for everybody and you WILL one day find a guy who loves you for who you are. You're still young and have PLENTY of time left to find him.
Next, you need to stop being so DOWN on yourself. If there's one thing lately that I've been bombarded with, it's everybody focusing on only their flaws and not their good qualities! There is good and bad in every single person, and everybody has flaws and imperfections. But there's one other thing to remember: There is beauty in EVERYTHING. You ARE beautiful in your own way.
My advice? Ya gotta accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. Focus on your good qualities over your bad. For example, what is something you're good at? Can you draw amazingly, sing super well, run a mile in 6 minutes? One of those things doesn't have to be your good quality, but everybody has good qualities and you need to focus on yours.
As for how to feel pretty, I always feel pretty when I dress up. So, maybe you can go out and buy a few new shirts that make you feel good, or buy some eyeshadow that just makes your eyes look gorgeous!
If you don't wear makeup, Try wearing some but don't overdo it!
Try doing you're hair a different style, Flat Iron it, Curl it, Put it up, Braid it, or even Dye it or perhaps a nice hair cut.
Wardrobe, Wear what you wish to wear can never go wrong on being yourself. However, Try something different at the same time mix it a little bit ;) Funky, Classy, Sexy, or Laid back ;)

First, I know how you feel we all go through a phase in our lives where we feel ugly. You're not alone. Second, I'm not sure how old you are but I think you should If you're not allowed talk to your parents about how you feel. Maybe tell them that you're feeling so unattractive and ask them to loosen up a bit on the rules. If you're allowed to pluck your eyebrows do that. I'm not sure if you mean you're only not allowed to shave your legs or your entire body but if they let you ask them about waking your facial hair. Also try a wardrobe upgrade, find pieces that you can mix and match, if you don't know what kind of look there's always good ideas for girls in seventeen magazine. Also try wearing a little make up. It doesn't have to be much, just a little eyeliner and some mascara and lip gloss, and if your parents let you try some foundation and eyeliner. If you're not to familiar with applying it. You can look on youtube for videos of girls applying techniques. I know there are tons out there. Also don't forget to accent your wardrobe with a cute piece of jewelry. Again there are some great ideas in seventeen. And while the ones they show in the mag might be a little expensive you can see what you like and try to find the same type at a store with more bargains.
Most Importantly the only way to feel beautiful is to believe that you're beautiful. No matter how many new outfits you get you have to believe that you're beautiful. If I guy doesn't like you because you don't shave that's too bad. People should be focused on the inside, but I'm sure that this guy will like you more if you be yourself and show your true personality than if you worry about immaterial things.
