I am UGLY!

!!!! What do I do? My mom and everyone else in my family thinks i’m ugly but disguises there thoughts and say i’m pretty in a nonmeaningful way. And at school every year i get some kind of animal name of what i look like. In 5th and 6th grade it was a dog, now in ninth grade im a monkey. HOW RUDE. And ways people describe my ugliness is im too skiny, im too chuby, my hair is jacked up, my teeth arent perfect, i look like a guy. Unfortunetly i look like my dad. THE END thats all i have to say.

Thats tough dude. The first thing you have to do is develop a positive good attitude then people will like you no matter what you look like.

one note of advice:
looks don’t matter.

I know its kind of cliche, but its whats on the inside that counts. Dont listen to those kids, they only do it because they know it gets to you. If you feel this strongly talk to a teacher, counselor, or trusted adult.

No, not everyone is beautiful, thats generic horse crap. But really, what does it matter what other people think. You must see something you like in the mirror?? Screw them! The most attractive people are confident. If you are cofident, and have a good personality, people will like you regardless of how you look. Be confident, and they wont pick on you. And try affirmations. And remember, you will always look better with a smile on your face, than with a frown.

I am attractive and when I am confident is when I have people tell me about it. When I am not, no one takes a second look. The only thing that changes is my confidence. I’ve also seen people I would not say are attractive and I think they are hot when they are confident. I barely notice the skin.

Uhh…who are you kidding looks do matter. Of course we are beautiful in our own way but society tells you that you are ugly and you believe it. What you need to is stop moaning about it and do something about it. Get to the point where no matter what anyone says about you, you know that they are wrong. It’s probably really hard to say that you shouldn’t worry about other peoples opinions when everyone is just DYING to give you theirs…so get to the point where if you feel you are never beautiful to meet society’s standards, you make it up with something else…Cause deep down we all want to be the same person lol So buy flashy clothes and cool shoes so people wont look at what you look like inside but on the outside. Thats the only way people are going to like you. So you look different and you want to be the same..get to it, it’s not going to happen overnight! Get to that Gym and start working out..Join weight watchers. How old are you? It’s never too early to start you know :)

If you are a guy (I’m assuming that since you look like your dad), and life is horrible then move to France. All the women look like supermodels and all the guys look like dirty homeless men.

Ignore them, you shouldnt falter just because youre upset with the way you look. yeah asthetics do play a big part in our society these days, but that doesnt mean you cant exist just because youre not a supermodel, you can make up for it by having a beautiful personality, thats true beauty. way better than being a stuck up supermodel

I agree, I’m just saying that If I weren’t married then I’d be off to France.

Sweetheart, I know this is hard but I think the first thing you should do is joke on yourself. When they joke on you, laugh with them and crack on yourself. That takes their power away. When you joke on yourself it makes it less painful and for them…It makes it less fun bto pick on you. They joke on you because it gives them power, they know it bothers you. Act like you don’t care. Laugh/smile it off. It’ll throw them off.
The next thing I think you should do is JOKE ON THEM BACK. Surely they aren’t perfect. Find a specific feature about them that you don’t like and let loose with the joes as well. Let them know they ain’t all that either. I bet none of them look like Halle Berry anyway and even if they did…You can always find something to crack on.
NEXT< Ignore all the negative talk (even from losers who are typing harsh things on this site) and try getting a make-over. When you LOOK good you feel GOOD. How would you prefer to look? Go to a salon. Get your hair done differently. Shop for new clothes, sexy but not slutty. Make-up even. I don't believe you need all these to be a better perso but you obviously have low self esteem so IT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU. Think about it. Be CONFIDENT too. Stop letting people know your insecurities.
PS: JUST BECAUSE you look like your father does NOT mean you look like a **** man. I know plenty of females, beautiful females who look like their fathers and they don’t look like men at all. They have their father’s features (DNA hello?) but they still look feminine.
I hope you feel better sweetie. God bless.

Every one is beautiful in there own way… some people see it .. others do not and the best thing you can do is stick your nose up at them and walkk away with your head held high.. i know what its like to be bullyed and called ugly because i had exactley the same problem but it just got worst so in the end i went to my teachers and they sorted everything out… and about your mum.. just tell her how you feel and that you are upset that you are feeling put down….. people will respect you if you stand up to them….

Give me a picture and I’ll tell you if you’re actually ugly or not. I mean it. Just post a picture here and I guess I’ll point out your assets. If you’re a makeup kind of girl I can maybe give you some pointers.

Everyone has times where they feel ugly be it in appearance or personality, we has humans tend to pick the faults out of ourselves rather than the good.
To make things worse kids are often cruel and say things like this because they also have self doubt about themselves and sady when they are picking on others it is takeing the focus away from them.
Everyone has good qualities somewhere and I doubt for a second you are an ugly person, just because other ids tease you it does not make it true.
I used to get teased to in school and think everyone at somepoint does, and yes maybe some people to get teased more and for longer but the hurt is still the same… Just try and wipe it from your mind and try to see that they are just as insecure about themselves as you are just you don’t have to be nsaty about it like they do, that makes you a better person :)

I just wanted to say thanks to one of the people up there who said to just laugh it off or smile and then joke about them. that made me realize that no ones perfect. And trust me i had the lowest self-esteem of the planet of earth. I just got back from school and two guys were calling me fat, ugly, and they said that i looked like a man kinda like the person who made this post, so i got in the truck and started to ask myself “should i kill myself?” but i got home and my mom thinks im deppressed but she went back to work anyways. But when i got home i got on the internet to see if there are ways to kinda get rid of all those comments from all the guys and i now realize that maybe i could just laugh or smile and see what happens but i don’t know because i go to a school with stuck up guys who think them and their friends are cool just because their purverted and say to all the other girls nasty things about them and all these other guys so maybe i can just laugh it off and go on! thanks :]

no offense but do you live in the 21st century. That crap doesnt work at all anymore they’ll just crack on you for talking about yourself it encourages them. What you should do is straight up ask them why they do what they do. ask them why do you pick on me?
ask them why do they insist on making themselves assholes by unprovokingly messing with you?

Yes its true that looks matter but there not the only things that matter. But people always telling you that dont worry about it and just ignore them its just bull-crap you know deep down it doesnt work. what you need to do is start working out if its acne go to a dermatoligist but me i cant be talking im fat and im ugly and im going to start working out and get my acne worked on. i think you should do the same but hey this is just my opinion there are people who just truly dont care what you look like and those people are truly mature and people making fun of you they just do it to make them selves feel better / but ignoring them doesnt help and all these people telling you that. they never had the problem so just do something about it.

Tell them to back off. Everyone has different styles, yours might just be as a tomboy. You’re still growing, who knows how you will look in 5-10 years?

I struggle with the same self-confidence issues as you do. When I was younger, my brother’s friends would call me “Little Brock” (my older brother’s name is Brock) because I looked so much like him. My brother is definitely not ugly, but I am a girl and it’s hard to hear that. Also, I’ve been called fatty and numerous other retorts. It hurts- it really does, especially when you’re 16 (that’s how old I am). I feel and look ugly all the time, but I’ve since realized that I’m choosing to make myself miserable. Why should I let them decide how I act? I used to be very outgoing until my extremely low self- confidence got in the way and now I feel like whatever I say or do is being judged. I’ve actually had the thought that I couldn’t do certain things because I am fat and ugly. When my friends go to school football games, I am very apprehensive to go (I usually don’t go). I worry that people will judge me. As hard as it is for me to realize, I know that I need to accept how I am. Why should I choose to be miserable?
