Aw, honey. I'm so sorry. I've felt something similar to this, and it really sucks. But, I also know that feeling pretty can help your self esteem a LOT. I really hope this helps;
1) Look up 'cute ways of cutting a t shirt'. I know this sounds corny, but trust me, it can look hot! Here's a great one, you might want to try: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
2) Go to your local CVS, or Drugfair or whatever is near. Purchase a cheap eyeliner (black is usually best). This can do wonders for people. If possible, get one with a smudger.
3) For your teeth, brush! Brush twice a day, or more. Use mouth wash, and get Crest Whitening Strips if you feel they are yellowing. I know what it's like to have an overbite or whatever, because I used to have a HUGE one and people used to make fun of me. But some of the prettiest girls in my grade have AWFUL teeth, and if they are nice and white no one will care babe!
4) Your hair. Get some rollers (you know, those wirey squishy things that come in little bags at drug stores) and put them in your hair at night. When you wake up, brush them out. That is a good way to spruce up your hair without splurging on money that you may not be able to spend.
As you get older, I think you'll find people care less and less about clothes and more, (sadly) about makeup and facial care. So if you want something to splurge on, I'd recommend that. It will last longer and benefit you. I hope you feel better, and that this helped!

I'm so sorry about the way your feeling.
If you dont have to the friends you had last year, than its probably for a good reason. If they didnt bother to stay your friend, than they arent good friends in the first place.
There are different ways to make your clothes and accessaries like new again. you could try layering your tops. If you have like a casual strapless dress you could turn it into a high waisted skirt. You get what im saying? :^) A few years ago i HATED with a passion how i looked. I thought i was fat, had the worst clothes imaginable, and i had very low self confidence.
Now what can help your hair is to experiment with it. I'm not saying cut it super short or dye it pink. But like, for example, if you wear it in a pony tail all the time, then try waering it down or if you have your hair parted in the middle try parting it to the left or the right. With make-up, you dont have to wear a whole bunch to look decent. What makes you eye color pop is if you wear the color of eyeshadow thats opposite of your eye color. Like if you have brown eyes you could wear blue shadow.
I hope my ideas helped you but whats most important is that you realize that inner beauty is far more important than outer beauty. What can help you to feel better is to read this scripture in the bible 1 Peter 3:3, 4. Your personality is what matters most. The people that tell you that your bad at dressing yeah they may have the best clothes but their inner beauty isnt looking so good. I hope this helps you in anyway! :^)

Well honestly as you go on in school you will lose friends and you might have a couple that are with you in the end and thats where you find out who your true friends are. And with the clothes dont even worry about it everyone has hard times with money and especially right now, its worse than ever, if you ignore them and hold your head high you will be happy, you are the best you can be and apperance is not the only thing that matters, sometimes you need a change so try doing your hair a little different or go to school one day with really crazy makeup on and just be proud to be you and dont worry about other people. Cheer up! Hope i helped =]

Hi =]
It's okay hun.. don't be afraid to spill your feelings.. Let me tell you something. People can be so superficial.. materialistic... And just like my fellow advicenator said... "Misery loves company" oh yes it does... Don't listen to these people honey.. clothes don't mean ANYTHING. You can dress in sweats and a white tank top.. but as long as you are happy inside, that's all that counts. Tell people to keep their negativity... because those are their inner feelings.. They don't feel good enough so they attack YOU because they see you struggling maybe..
I understand where you're coming from through. Now a days.. the clothes your have.. the sneakers you own.. your hair.. all these things play a big role into fitting in.. =/ I hate to say it but you MUST brush it off. Maybe buy a cute purse... it doesn't have to be designer.. save some money if you can... Make yurself feel better by buying sometthing cute even if it's from a 99 cent store.. I do lol. Misery loves company.. don't let them lure you into their negativity and put you down... thats what they want... to eliminate competition =/ keep your head up and I'm always here for you if you ever wanna talk just leave me a msg in my inbox ... take care!

Ok dude I know how you feel I'm. Kind of broke to but just try to make due with what you have and try to find places where the clothes (are I know how this sounds) are used clothes some times you can find cool stuff my sis got awesome jeans for $1.00 at paws and claws. So just keep your eyes peeled because you never know. Hope you find some thing cool.

Hi and don't get to depressed. As the old saying goes "Misery loves company". Right now the economy is quite bad and you have plenty of company in being broke. Half of America is broke.
Find Goodwill and second hand stores. Especially in the rich sections of town. Many times these stores have designer cloths for almost nothing. I go there all the time.
Try to take walks. Walking releases endorphins in the brain causing you to feel better and not be depressed.
Fixing teeth generally costs money so that may require a dentist, but you still can brush!
Have your mother or a friend do your hair. There are many girls that have experience with hair that are not actually stylists. Look at magazines to find a "Look" that is "YOU".
Remember, true friends will still be there for you rich or poor. If these people have abandoned you, maybe they weren't very good friends to start with. Say a prayer. God loves you.

Sweetie your beautiful just the way you are and I'm not just saying that. My family is poor to and I really don't have a lot of friends. Friendships come and go, but your true friends will stick by you regardless of what kind of clothes you wear, what kind of makeup you wear, and even what your hair looks like. I have only one real friend who has stuck with me through everything and will always be there for me. If you don't have that now, you will eventually. For advice I'd just say be clean and presentable. And of course be nice. Friendships will come along the way. Besides, do you really want to be friends with somebody just based on the fact of how superficial they are?

Most people don't appreciate the good ol' Salvation Army. On Wednesdays all of the clothes are 1/2 off. I know you think a thrift shop doesnt have anything good, but you'd be surprised. I go to college and don't have a lot of money, either, and I buy my clothes at the Salvation Army and they are just as good as everyone else's. A lot of rich people buy a new wardrobe every season and donate their clothes. All of my clothes are Abercrombie, and other name brands.
