Here's my advice-
Pretty- Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. So try to get some confidence. Find the features YOU love about yourself, and try to play them up. EVERYONE and I do mean EVERYONE has something beautiful about them. You just need to find yours- you probably have many amazing features. Outerwise, maybe try a new hairstyle, or make a consultation with a makeup artist. Or have a freind point out what looks good on you for makeup. There's also many articles written on the internet about things like this. For clothes- Try looking at the fashion magazines. Take the trends YOU like, and that look good on you, and put your own personal spin on them. But don't be a clone. To be pretty, you should be healthy too. This can help with everything else- good health helps you think, helps clear up acne, and hleps you loose weight. Eat as healthily as you can- steer away from sugar and junk food. Drink LOTS of water- if you don't like water, try adding a splash of fruit juice or a lemon slice or something in it.
Nice- Treat others like YOU want to be treated. I know this is an old cliche, but it works. Smile a lot, and say hi to people in the hallways that you know. Give out lots of GENUINE compliments- people LOVE to be complimented. Don't spread rumors ethier- if someone tells you a secret keep it to yourself. Be nice to your teachers too- but don't be a teachres pet. Theres a big difference between being nice and sucking up. Oh, and have some degree of class. Use manners- Say please, thank you, etc. Help people who are having trouble, and utilize good social skills. Avoid talking about gross or touchy subjects- but do have an opinion. (Just don't be mean about it.)
Have a lot of freinds- Find people that share common intrests with you! Join a club, or a sport that YOU like to do, and get out there and give it 110%. Make an effort to talk to people. If you're feeling shy, just think "I CAN make friends. I CAN talk to people." And if people are jerks for no reason, that's their loss not yours. Just rise above that.
Example: Someone goes up to you and calls you a mean name.
You could try: Just say "Thanks for the compliment"or "Thanks" or "Okay". Just brush it off- Or don't say anything at all. But don't be a pushover- if it's severe, just tell them to stop.
Smart- Depending on what grade you're in, keeping up with your schoolwork might be easier or harder. Try studying for tests and quizzes- take notes and then review them later. Pay attention in class and ask questions if you don't get it. Save old homework papers- you can use them to study for quizzes. Know your basic facts- multiplication, division, addition, subrtaction- these will help in all areas of math. It's also helpful to know basic grammar rules, which will help when doing reports. DON'T PROCRASTINATE- get homework and projects DONE as soon as you can. However, late IS better than not doing it. In general, reading and keeping up with current events can help you be smarter. Read books you like, and watch the news- this will broaden your mind. If you really need help though, get a tutor.
Get rid of pimples- Drinking lots of water will help here. Drink at least 8 glasses a day. It's easier to do than it seems. Wash your face once a day- try a mix of baking soda and water- it will help clear your skin up. Try a honey and oatmeal masque (exactly what it sounds- mix honey and oats together and use it as a face mask) once a week- it will work, trust me. Eating healthy helps a lot too. For big pimples, I put a dab of tea tree oil on the spot, and let it sit. That helps to clear it up, but do NOT put it on areas without acne- it will dry your skin. If you still need help with acne, or if its really severre to begin with, go to a dermatologist. They can perscribe something to clear it up.
Become skinny- Eat healthy foods- maybe try a diet book. I would reccomend the fat flush plan- you can buy the book at www.annlouise.com (the author's hompage). Or google it- it has amazing reviews. I have tried it, and not only helps to flush "trapped" fat, it clears up your skin. Exercise at least a half hour a day- you could break it down into 3 10 min. periods, 2 15 min. periods, or 6 5 min. periods- or 1 half hour period. Try walking, running, swimming, or maybe get an exercise tape or go to the gym- but whatever you do STRETCH before and after. You should do a warmup, workout, then a cooldown. Sports also help you loose weight- play a sport that YOU love. No matter what it is. Dancing is good too.
I hope that helped.

This isn't a question... But I would like to advise anyway. Sounds like you're still in school. Well, I went thru the same condition you are when I was in school. You ever hear of the story, The Ugly Duckling? That was me, then I graduated HighSchool. And my physiology totally changed!!! Guys that ignored me in school were asking for my #. (I told them to get lost, I had prettier boys to deal with)
I had a group of 10+ friends. I was hanging out w/peeps in 3 different cities!
The moral of what i am telling you is. What you are going through right now is completely normal.
If you want to change your diet, talk to your doctor. Exercise, ask your parents to take you to a Dermatologist, trust me, I had to. No amount of soap was going to cure the acne I had back then.
But ultimately, I think if you quit obsessing over yourself and just have fun with life. People are going to want to be around you.

The only way you can feel pretty is when you tell yourself, no one else, that you like the way you are and can accept who you are. Try proactiv for pimples, and witch hazel. For friends, just be nice and talk to everyone. If you exclude one person, then you exclude the world. To be skinny, you have to start eating right, and exercise.

the way you described yourself is how you are pretty. you may not look beautiful on the outside but maybe you are in the inside.
