You don't like your skin tone because people are telling you not to. They're stifling your confidence within yourself.
You should be proud of who you are & what you look like. There's nothing wrong with being of a darker skin tone. There's always a skin whitener, but I really don't recommend it. Don't conform to other people's idea of beautiful. As long as you like how you look, then there should be no problem. Shrug them off when they're rude to you about it.
If they make fun of you, tell them that you're proud of who you are & that if they don't like it, that's too bad. Don't let anyone tell you what's beautiful & what's not. There's nothing wrong with being a little bit darker than other people.

Okay well im black ! Im african american and im dark skin. And there is nothing wrong with that . And second of all people are going to make fun of people regardless. You may take it the wrong way because you don't feel comfortable about your self . You need to love your self first in order for the things people say not to effect you . And please don't use the term (im not black like african americans) because black is beautiful . And im dark and I neva had people make fun of me . Do you know why . Because I love myself . You should do the same .

You can't get lighter than the skin tone you're born with, using any over-the-counter product or natural remedy. You can spend less time in the sun, wear light or white clothing, use sunscreen, and a parasol if you want. Lemon juice is acidic, but it's sad to work some. There are whitening products that are not harmful. Do not use anything containing hydroquonine because over time, it can lead to complications. Shiseido is an Japanese brand that makes a line of whitening products for the face. As for the body, there is Filipino papaya soap that you can buy online or at supermarkets that are supposed to whiten the body using natural papaya enzymes.

i totally agree with frenchie.
if it makes you feel any better i hated my skin tone when i waas younger too... expiriment with different clothing colours... or make up if you wear it.
frenshies point on the nakedness was a good idea actually... tried and tested... i found moisturising helped me alot. jus being able to stare at your skin while rubbin in your cream ... its weird but it helped me.. maybe itll help you =)

Sweetheart! It hurts me to hear you talking like this. Lightening your skin tone is not a good idea becasue it will distance you from who you are, who is a beautiful, bright young lady. When I was younger people made fun of me for being overweight, and I had serious bouts of depression. Don't lighten your skin tone, honey, just try to feel beautiful. This sounds wierd, but spend some time naked if you can. I find it's very liberating to walk or lay around in the nude and feel warm and lovely. I think you are simply having problems with confidence, which you should not have. I hope this has haelped you, even a little bit.
