Why does society look down on ugly people??

Question

i am 15, in the 10th grade. my face is full of acne and i wear glasses. im really smart and grades are my number one focus right now, i get amazing grades!!. but it seems like popular people get away with everything and that if you're pretty you get anything you want. many times, people at school have said i was ugly..thinking i couldn't hear it. they point at me and say "that girl is ugly!!". its happened only twice though, but still. it doesnt hurt my feelings because im used to it. i guess wearing glasses is just a nerdy thing. and theres nothing i can do about the acne..ive tried every product and i feel like i should just leave it alone. pretty girls have a good life. boys ask them out, everyone wants to be their friend, etc. why is that? and how do i cope with this? please dont suggest getting contacts or using zit cream. i just want a mental cleansing. would you rather spend high school ugly and nerdy and nonpopular but have a good life being rich later??

Answer 1

Honey just sit back and enjoy the view because when high school is over and everything is said and done these morons will not be able to cope in the outside world and you will be a beautiful swan....

Answer 2

That is sad, and I feel bad for THEM because they're missing out on a nice person like YOU. Remember that people are often programmed to be shallow about what is considered to be beautiful. You are surrounded by people who don't think for themselves. Do you REALLY want friends or guys hanging around because of what you look like? Because looks can change and THEN where will those guys and friends be? Honey, your acne isn't here to stay, and you can wear contacts if you don't want glasses. Girls in glasses are quite pretty - lots of people agree. And "nerdy" girls are very attractive to lots of us in this world. Just remember that your teenage years are an awkward time in your life. These @ssholes in school will grow up over the years and when you're done there and selecting a college, you'll make good friends and boyfriends who will love you as is. You'll probably look even better than you do now. People typically grow up, but some mature slower or faster than others. My wife had acne and wore glasses when she was your age. Now she doesn't and she looks a bit like Alicia Silverstone/Julia Styles. AND she has learned not to judge others all on their looks. Every guy wants her now, but she's TAKEN! It will happen for you, too. Don't let anyone break you down. I used to defend girls like you when I was in school.

Listen you can't let shallow people get you down it will only affect your personality in the long run keeping you from doing things,because you don't feel good enough to around the cool or popular.Not everyone is going to be popular in school so yes it will benefit you to focus on your future,cause in ten years when you are out of school you will be laughing at how much more prepared for life you are over those people who seem right now to have it all.By the way my wife has glasses and she wasn't the most popular in school and yes she had acne.Now people tell her she looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt all the time.So keep your chin up feel good on the inside and I promise it will show on the outside and remember God don't make ugly!

Answer 5

first of all, the "popular" people are only popular because they out number everyone else and they're all friends with eachother, at least at my school. besides they're only popular if you make them be.. and glasses aren't the problem, almost everyone wears them (or needs to) and they look good on a lot of people; and i know you don't want anyone to suggest "zit cream" but if you go get Acne Free (better than that proactive stuff) it does work, but don't expect it to all vanish in a couple days. who cares if they think you're ugly, that's their opinion and you said it yourself that it doesn't bother you. you look how you do for a reason and you shouldn't think of the "pretty people" as being superior because they're on the easy side-if you know what i mean. they're usually "preppy" and shop at hollister and all those other stores and whatever--who cares. who would want to be popular? you have a reputation that you have to keep up, people are always talking about you--good or bad--and people expect too much from you. why not just be "average" i'd rather be a nobody than a somebody, trust me it's no picnic, just enjoy the rest of highschool, and don't regret anything; graduate and go back to your reunion (if you have one) and rub your success in their faces.. it'll be fun. anyway, guys ask them out because they give it up, once they do they have no need for them anymore, everyone wants to be their friend because everyone wants to be like them, they're jealous and can't be content with their own lives. i think this answer's long enough so goodluck, trust me your senior year comes too soon.

Answer 6

Nothing you can do about your face, if you have a generally "ugly" face then that's what you got. Crying over it isn't going to help you go through life and will only hurt your own self confidence. You be surprised how unimportant facial features are unless you are horrible scarred, acne goes away usually as an adult, memories remain with you always. Once people get to know you, they will judge you for yourself BUT first you must stand up for yourself. Those who keep quiet are only asking for abuse.

If someone says you're ugly, go up to them and go excuse, you mine saying that to my face. Trust me, most bullies back off if they find they can't intimadate you or it's too much trouble, easier fish to fry. With confidence, you get respect and unless it's someone you like, respect is much better than being liked.

Answer 7

Dnt worry about it. I know it's hard to just ignore it but once high school is over...all your intellegence and torture through high school will deff pay off. you'll get a great job, make lots of money, and under your acne, you probably are beautiful and it will show. believe me. and those *** holes that make fun of you and "the popoluar kids" will definitely get what's coming to them when they're working at wal-mart for $12 an hour, still single, and living with thier parents. you dnt need anyone's approvel. especially those who think are better than you. and wow. no way! glasses are not nerdy at all. they are beyond hot. please, dnt waste your time on immature high school boys that are hormonal and are still going through puberty...wait for the right guy, an older guy who's mature and know's what true beauty is...on the inside. and i have glasses myself. they are not nerdy AT ALL. =]

Answer 8

yo don't worry about what people say how you look the media always presents us beautiful faces or when have you seen a movie other than comedy with the main character being fat or having pimples and that thing about being popular is just as fake as it is, don't think that your reputation depends on the fact that you are well known this society is plastic we live in an age were the ones who have money,beauty and prestige stand out and those who are not recognized are the ones who don't have any of these things but give your life to God he accepts you just how you are accept he died on the cross as a free gift for our sins regardless of what the popular belief now days is

Answer 9

This sounds crazy but, and you have probably heard this before.
but keep up with those good grades they will pay off in the end, when you role up in your brand new porchse on the door step of those "pretty kids" who happen to be not so pretty anymore. who probably will end up with 10 kids on well fare in a nasty ran down trailer lol. so... what you have acne big deal you will grow out of it, so you have glasses big deal i wear glasses too. Yeah, it probably is a nice thing to go out on dates, but yet not so good to be telling your parents your probably pregnant at 15 and you dont know who the father is, or you do know and the kid just dont want to man up (MAURYYY HELPP!!!)lol. So **** them when they call you names turn around and say dont hate me cuase im beautful, in 10 years after highschool it aint gonna matter no more.

hope i helped

People sometimes think that a person's out side looks reflect their insides. Often times, its the opposite. I commend you and your quest for good grades and smarts. In high school, People wanna do the exact opposite. They don't care much about there grades.
