It may be frustrating but keep encouraging her. Don't give up on her. God knows we have enough anorexia and bulimia's out there. It's deadly!

Tell her that she is not ugly! My sister and me are always concerned about our looks. We think we're so ugly, when we know we're really not. I always tell her that she looks way better than me. I compliment her on her clothes all the time and tell her how jealous I am cuz all the guys like her (they really do). All girls at some stage will go through the whole self-image thing, its normal.

I would tell her straight up that if she felt ugly fix it. Ex if she is a little over weight help her get in shape with daily excersice. Start training her and it will make you both feel really good about your selfs. If it is something in her mind then you just need to tell her she isnt and it is all in her head.

Sounds to me like it would be helpful for her to talk to a professional about focusing on this concern. It is way out of control. Good Luck! :)

Find out the "root" cause of her obsessing over her looks and clothing. Peer pressure and today's media place an unhealthy strain on people. Find out the root cause and you will be able to help her more.

Sounds like she suffers form low self esteem. tell her to not be so self absorbed and when it comes down to it, no really cares what she looks like but her.

you should reinforce the idea that looks is not the most important thing in the world, the most important thing is to have a great heart and intelligence.

Just reassure her that she is pretty. I am sure that she is going through that phase where she doesnt think that she is pretty. If she is cocky then that is something else. But otherwise give her your support.
