would kill your self-esteem if people treated you poorly because you weren't the most attractive? How would you deal with it? And please serious answers only. I don't have time for sarcasm.

Yes, it would hurt. But hon, people who treat you badly because of your looks are shallow, stupid, poor excuses for human beings who don't have the intelligence to understand anything more than what they see in the mirror - they're parakeet people. Their opinion of you is less important than the chirping of birds. Find better friends, because you deserve that. Avoid these people, and ignore them like the insects they are. Hold your head up and let them see your opinion of them.
If there is bullying involved here, you need to go to your parents or school counselor.
I hope this helped a little, hon. Good luck and blessed be.

If people are judging you solely on your appearance, you're hanging out with the wrong people. If you want to be more attractive (for yourself,not for others) you don't have to be beautiful to make the most of yourself - try websearching Sharon Osbourne or Hillary Clinton for photos in the early days - both of them have transformed from very plain women into well groomed, attractive women. There is always something you can do to make yourself feel more attractive, whether it's a manicure or a good haircut. If you feel good about yourself, people will start treating you with more respect, and it will be because you project confidence, not because you are beautiful. Although I bet you have at least ONE beautiful thing about you.

You have to be able to look in the mirror and be happy with yourself. If your in school still, talk with your parents about a make-over if that's what you want. If you want to change your appearance, then it is going to take some action, whether it is diet and exercise, fixing your hair, or having dental work done. If, at this time, your happy when you look in the mirror then don't change a thing. Those people are loosers anyway, but I know that has to hurt. You have to dress whatever "part" you are trying to be. I sold real estate for years, and no one would of taken me seriously if I showed up to work in shorts and a tank top.

I think that the looks thing is not your trouble. Janet Reno got a lot of respect, and look at her mug! It is more than likely your demeanor, and not your face. Get tough, and get some respect. Get some new friends. Go on line, find a new hobby, get involved with other hobbyists, and make new friends. Start by telling the others to "Kiss off!" Be tough, not a door mat.

I got some minor plastic surgery when I was 23 and it did wonders for me and my self-esteem. That's true; not sarcastic.
