Is it normal to feel this insecure about my looks

Well, first off, I am a girl and I attend high school. It might sound stupid but my looks are very important to me.......because I have been bullied about them in the past :( trust me, I'm nothin special to look at. I tend to get alot of breakouts (stupid oily skin) and I'm not exactly skinny. Although I'm not overweight either. At school I feel so ugly compared to the other girls in my year. My dad even called me fat the other day!! But the thing is, I just can't seem to lose weight. I exercise a lot and I eat pretty healthily (you know, small portions and only the occasional treat). But I still look fat. I don't even eat alot. Mum thought that I was becoming anorexic but i just don't have a huge appetite. This is really getting me down. I got asked out by a really cute guy last year but i turned him down. I didn't see what an amazing guy like him would see in a loser like me :(
is it normal to be this insecure? If not, does anyone have anytips that might help me boost my confidence?

    if your face gets oily, wash it off with the cloth.

    excercise boosts confidence.

    be yourself. don't wear make up.

    I have said this once on another post and I will say it again. No matter how attractive you are or think you are always someone who is probobly going to find you attractive. No matter fat, short, tall, glasses, freckles, braces. Probobly someone in the world that is into it. So don't feel bad. I am positive someone in this world will find you attractive. All that really matters is how pretty you are on the inside.

    Guys are attracted to girls that have confindence and eat a big healthy breakfast right when you wake up! You may feel sick but eventuly you will get over it and be hungry that same time! It helps a lot!

    it's okay I was SO insecure in high school. but trust me, it doesn't last forever. I was always the chubby girl in high school and growing up, and now I'm in college and I'm not chubs and I've blossomed a lot. You just need to have confidence in yourself. I always felt so awkward and out of place in HS but once you graduate it's all behind you and you realize that none of it really mattered (socially anyway).

    Research nutrition. Like really, read ebooks and articles. You will see how flawed the information on the Internet is. Going on this journey to change your body will hopefully help your body whole(including your skin which I suspect is from stress) and build your personality and confidence. Don't underestimate this decision.

    All the best!
