Fretting about one's appearance is normal for teens. As we go through that phase, most are concerned about fitting in and conforming to whatever's currently considered the definition of attractiveness. An important part of growing up is recognising that the vast majority of people really don't care much about what we look like - often because they're too preoccupied with worrying about what _they_ look like. Anyone who does pass judgement and comments on our appearance is only flagging themselves up as the sort of superficial person we shouldn't spend time with or give any respect to.
