    The thing is, all people ( i know of ) have strong points, I had a friend who looked like doll but he sucked at sports and classes he was the last in arts aswel. Another one was a decent looking sporty asshole, but he couldn't count more than 5 colors etc.

    I am not saying, that you will have a beatiful girl someday. I wouldn't know that. but I can say this, people who be with others just because of their looks regret it %99 of time. There's always a "very" weak spot in a human being. Like being a genius mathematician and not knowing whose picture is on 100 dollars. (I met a TEACHER like that)

    Find one thing you love doing and do that. Don't struggle with this. right now. When you gain self confidence, (I don't know how it works, but it happened to me, high school was a nightmare for me aswel) people start seeing you differently.

    I have also dated with many girls. But if you showed me a photo of them, before I met them, I most probably would've said no.

    Do these, I'm not promising you Jessica Alba with these tactics, but you can meet someone who you'll think is beatiful.

  • I'm sorry that you are having such a difficult time at school, but I believe this is one obstacle you must overcome. Everyone has their battles, and this is yours to fight. It really is what's inside of you that will determine the outcome of your difficulties, not your looks. Good luck and stay positive, my friend. We are here to support you.

    Being ugly is something you can't change without major plastic surgery. I too have been in your shoes, I was called ugly, teased, and just the whole works. I for one, accepted the fact that I was ugly, without changing my self-esteem. I saw the extraordinary in the ordinary, and looked at being "ugly" as a gift. I said to myself, "I'm ugly?, great." "Now I'm not compelled to prove myself to other people." with that thought in mind, I wore what I wanted, said the things I wanted to say(I told a girl that I liked her, plain as it is, she turned me down, but thought it was sweet), and lived my life, the way I was happy without a bother of what people thought of me. Afterwards, changes in my life happened, people started respecting me. Being down on yourself is only human, but try the very best to smile more, muster at least the bit of self-respect you can, and live your life the way you deem most happy.

  • Its what inside that counts is what ugly, fat, stupid, etc people are told and then repeat themselves so that they then feel good about themselves.

    Dont kid yourself its not really whats inside that counts, when was the last time you saw a beautiful woman with an ugly guy and found it is was because she "loved him on the inside?" Cmon that stuff only happens on television and in the movies. If you see a hot girl with an ugly guy, he either has alot of money, a big dick, or both.

    Take it from someone who is pretty ugly himself. Its nice to think that way, but its not how the world works. Its like saying "just be yourself, everyone will like you for who you are". If that was true then the word awkward would have no meaning since nobody would consider others or themselves as being socially awkward.

  • I've been in your shoes before and let me tell you this, looks matter. However, beauty captures the eye but personality captures the heart. People nowadays, especially teenagers, can be very judgmental and it sucks to deal with them. I'll tell you what I did when my self esteem was at an all time low. I looked in the mirror and started naming qualities about myself that I liked. I kept telling myself that I was amazing because I knew that eventually I would believe it.

    As for the bullies, well I spent a lot of my high school career figuring out how to deal with them and here is what I came up with. NEVER let a bully insult you to your face. By letting them insult you to your face you're giving them a front row seat to you're reaction. Just ignore them as best as you can. Don't stop and take what they're dishing out. The first couple of days will suck because they'll try to get under your skin but if you ignore them they will eventually go away. While dealing with the bullies keep telling yourself that you're amazing an any girl would be lucky to have you. I know that being bullied sucks but if you stop making yourself a target they'll go away.
