Why do some People hate Freckles?

Question

I have had such an issue with this. And after reading
about a hundred threads on this issue consensus seems
that they always have been and always will be ugly to
many people.

What sucks is there is nothing you can do about them.
When i was a little girl i used to get called names
and ridiculed because of them. I would come home
crying alot because everyone told me freckle faces
are ugly.

Now that im older i dont have nearly as many.
I think they are the thickest on my arms.
And i have some on my face and legs.

I guess i wish people wouldnt do that its
not like the child/person can help it.
I always thought in highschool that
if i could just get rid of them i would
be such a beautiful girl. I know
i am not the only one to feel this way.

It seems realy stupid to complain about
it since that is all in the past. And I have
had no problem with catching a man.
But the past hurts ya know...
and sometimes ill hear a comment
about them and wince a little.
Old wounds go deep.

But i guess since i look like
Willow its ok.

Answer 1

There are millions of people worse off than you, think of the person who can't walk, the person who can't work because of seizures, the parents watching to see if their child will live, the couple losing their home because they lost their good paying job, the person diagnosed with cancer or some other terminal illness; the boy without hands, the plight going on in Africa, the homeless people that are out there, & there are many, the families of the victims of 911, the workers from that day learning to get on with life, & they will never be the same again; if the name calling & teasing didn't kill you, you should be stronger for it. Quit whining. Put on a Happy face & be Happy, look around & be satisfied with what God gave you, if you don't appreciate what you already have, you will never be satisfied! Your health is more important, next is happiness; everthing else flows from happiness! Put on your BIG girl panties & get over it!

Who's this said "everybody"? Freckles are cute. However, the kind where it's all over your face and you look like you've got chicken pox, then not so much. But freckles are just adorable.

Answer 3

I know what you mean..i used to have really bad acne and was made fun of so bad that I went to school and became a facialist and have helped alot of people..you can go to the doc and get an RX for skin lighting lotion that can fade them over time. Yes, the past does hurt..Maybe you need to talk to someone if this is still bothering you. You are a beautiful girl, you are only looking at your freckles, NOT THE TRUE BEAUTY YOU REALLY ARE.. Go to the mirror look PAST the freckles..and really look at YOU!! Remember we ALL have something we would LOVE to change..Move on to the things you LIKE about your self and concentrate on that and you will forget about your freckles..Hope this helps..Take care..

Answer 4

you got Freckles and i got pimples. normally those who has Freckles and wnt get pimples. your skin is rather dry and need protection from the UV-rays. you should try to put on moisturizer and sun-block lotion that suit your skin condition. and putting make-ups on also help to protect your skin. dnt always think that putting on make-up will made the skin condition worst. it will only be worst if you are lazy to remove it correctly and clean. in fact make-up act as a protection layer from the sunlight. for your Freckles, maybe you can try some lightening or whitening cream. it does helps for some ladies to lighten the spots. oh yes, Freckles is not really that ugly as you think, ladies can also be pretty even there is Freckles as long as not pimples eg. acnes . Cheer up girl! what you need are your confident, learning to doll up urself with the correct make up, hair style and clothing to wear. there is no ugly woman except for lazy woman.

Answer 5

I went through the same problem but I found out that lemon juice helps erase them as long as u refrain from the sun, put it on with cotton b4 u go to bed it really helps try it....

Answer 6

Freckles are the new "thing." If you look at models in magazines, and actress' etc... None of them are trying to cover up their freckles right now. I just read in InStyle that girls are trying to figure out ways to make their freckles more obvious! I would enhance them instead of get rid of them! Good luck

Answer 7

not all people hate freckles but if your really pretty w/ or w/out then i wouldnt worry about them b/c i have one best friend that has them really bad but she has no problem with bf's and never gets made fun of.. so dont take what people say so deep just go with your own opion about yourself...take care

Maybe it is,~ derm·a·to·sio·pho·bi·a -- n. ~
The fear of skin. The fear of sores.
I notice how others look at my legs & face. I am used to it now. Most of the females in my family have them.
I just work it anyway.
