Is it normal to feel like this 24/7

lol dont worry when you'll be full grown youll be just fine. One thing though, if you need braces... GET THEM its so awsome :D and everybody loves ppl with a great smile. Just hang in there. And I know one guy who is realy ugly and he got himself the hotest and most popular girl of all the highschool. they been togeter for over 2 years now and their at colege. Their in crazy love. Don't worry man karma will knock at your door.

Hey everyones ugly in some way just don't let urself become Luke those other girls meaning ugly on the inside

Hey I am ugly too... Well I think soo my friends don't that's why it's great to have all of your friends as blind people.

and dude where do u live maybe we can hang out im from michigan

i feel the same way about the how i act and the ugly thing just find someone who likes u and if u cant do it switch colleges college is the one chance you get to start over it doesnt matter what people in high school think of u just what people think of u know i switched schools cause i was afraid i would never get a date if everyone knew who i was and when i switched it helped alot for about 2 months but then my brother transferred over and were twins were in all the same classes and everything caught back up to me so it should work if u switch schools just dont let your dorky ass hole twin brother switch also and ruin ur new image

well u just have to find that one person who loves u as u are

Your never alone. These things happen. I say its normal to feel as you do. I'm not an ugly guy but I feel like it sometimes. I know a girl who was made fun of just like you (her own family did it a lot) and personally I didn't think she was. What I'm getting at is beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And as for most people they are just ugly on the inside and you can't take what they say to heart. If you want to change this then you must change yourself. Start taking steps to improve yourself image and your out look on life. Know yourself then work with it. Then all of this madness will seem belittled.

cosmetic surgery i figure if im in college and still single ill get it too but i dont think im ugly and if ppl tell me i am i just say there not my type

Wow - you've really experienced how shallow ugly & cruel people can be. And that teacher should have had their ass hauled over that incident!

Still, you have friends, sound pretty strong, and you do like yourself.

Lets be real honest: very very few people fit into the standard "beauty" image stereotype. All you have to do is look around to see that. So lets just drop it. Let other people torture themselves over their "imperfection."

Next thing: don't allow others to torture you. Take a course or get some counseling in being assertive if need be, but you must learn to stick up for yourself and not permit others to make you the target of their insults.

You have every right to demand to be treated with respect and courtesy. Do so. When others see you just take it (the insults) some smell blood. Stand up for yourself, and they'll back away, and most people will respect you. Others, well, some people are just cowards. Create a zone of respect around you. Anyone stepping in your space had better be mindful.

Instead of asking your friends to judge you, ask them to support & help you. Make up? Hair style? Fashion? Accessories? Exercise? Make up? You're a young woman. Take what ever advice you think may work for you.

Look at other successful women who are older than you with similar looks to you. How do they carry themselves? What do you think made them attractive to other men? Hint: men in committed relationships are attracted to the entire person: their character, values, accomplishments as well as looks. Also men are as varied in the looks department as women. What makes you think you will not find your match?

Finally I think part of feeling good about yourself is to drop these awful nasty words you use to describe yourself: "hideous," "ugly." I realize these come from others but they are the ones being hideous & nasty. Don't insult yourself.

Sorry this is long. Hope there is something in it for you.

It's not normal, but it doesn't sound like it's your own fault.

Don't worry, though, because looks aren't that important. People around you will grow up eventually, and not everyone in the world is that shallow.
