Question

At school I get teased a lot by some people because my skin color is a lot darker than most people and some people say I'm ugly. But, this isn't my only problem. Since I get teased a lot, I don't really have the urge to talk so people think it's ok to shove me in the lunch line, take away my belongings, or just act plain rude, and I don't have many friends. How can I build my self-esteem, keep people from insulting me, and make more friends? I really need your help because I can't take it any longer.

Answer 1

Be yourself and remember that if they have to put someone down just to make themselves feel good, then they must not feel that good about themselves. Every time you look in the mirror remember that there are people out there who will accept you for who you are. Never change yourself for someone else. People will always be cruel no matter what. Never give up. God is there for you. He would never make fun of you. Good Luck!!!!!

Answer 2

I passed through the same situation and I know how hard it is. I used to be friends with the teachers instead of students in school... which isn't so good, 'cause we all want to be accepted the way we are.
I can only tell you that then I grew up (and I've always been intelligent, as I used to hang out with the teachers), so now I'm in a better situation than all those people who once laughed at my face. Now I can pay back, and I don't even do it, 'cause I'm better than them all. The point is that you must know that nothing lasts forever, suffering will be over some day, and then you'll have rewards for your strenght. I became a very cool person, very popular, and I have to say this - now I'm more beautiful than all those people who once said I was ugly. So be patient, and time will tell!

Answer 3

OK, i don't really have much advise to give you but i just want to tell you that you're not the only one in that situation . I've been treated exactly the same way but you know what you should never bow down to those bullies. my mother always told and still tells me that you don't go to school to make friends and even if you do, do not expect everyone to like you. what i think you should do is stand strong and tell a teacher who'll be able to deal with them. even if someone tells you that you're ugly never ever take it seriously or to heart because you are the one who'll suffer. what you see in the mirror is the real thing. i know this is hard but believe me you'll laugh last. you know what I've been through that and worse and believe it or not I'm still suffering but I'll always talk that is the only way you can deal and come to terms with it. good luck to you and stay strong

Answer 4

ignore those people who say that you are ugly because I think that dark skin is so pretty on girls. I wish that I had dark skin. Those people are just so shallow. As hard as it may be, try to be friendly to those people being mean to you and to everyone else. Friendliness is what draws most people to others. Smiling is contagious no matter how the person looks(which i'm sure is beautiful). As for your self-esteem, beauty is not just skin deep, it is about ther person inside that body. If their spirit is beautiful then they are beautiful. I really wish you the best of luck.

Answer 5

You have to grow an attitude. Don't let people walk all over you. I got made fun of, too, & I had to put a stop to it. If there are people that don't make fun of you, then talk to them. If you can't get the teasing stopped yourself, go to the principle or tell your parent guardian. I got teased, & my mom had to go talk to the principle. There was supposedly 0 tollerance for bullying, & it was still going on. If your principle won't listen, then you still HAVE to have attitude. Act like it doesn't bother you. When people say mean stuff as you're walking by, just laugh at them. Call them losers for thinking they're ever going to get to you. You have to be tough, cuz when you get upset, no one cares. That's bad, but it's true. You got a lot of jerks at your school, & you have to be tough with people like them.

Answer 6

You should be kind to those that are unkind because all people are equal. Martin Luther King Jr. is a great example of how you should act. He did not act in violence, but he did make a point. If you find other people like you, you can form a group and encourage them to stand up for themselves. They may not be your color, but you can also make friends that are different from you in some ways, but the same in others. Then, you can get opinions of different views when deciding on something. I hope that this helps! :)
all people are equal.

Answer 7

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You need to talk to people and also start standing up for yourself. If someone shove you let them know that you are tired and your not taking it anymore. In order to build up your self-esteem you need to have confidence in yourself and then your inner beauty will shine on the out side. Once you get controle of your life and stop being shy a lot of things will start looking up for you.

Answer 8

What you have to do is become more confident

Its amazing what people's actions towards you can have an impact upon your self esteem

But you should not let that happen, skin color should not have anything to do with it, I have seen really ugly girls be popular just because they are confident, they don't let tthier looks affect their attitude, they act confident and speak their mind and people sense that confidence they have and don't make fun of them

Answer 9

those people have no right. some of my friends who have darker skin have been bullied too and those people should be ashamed of themselves. make friends with people that are friendly that have no problem with you, i find boxing is a huge self-esteem builder one you are stronger and can defend yourself but also you can take you anger out on the puncing bag. you need to tell a parent this is happenin, if you can't tell someone you can trust.

Answer 10

I would say that there is a strong sense of Bullying going on here and its effecting you badly. Is there a gang leader instigating this behaviour ? I think so, theres always some pathetic little moron behind this act.. Who is he /her ?? Report him/her and have this stopped now.. Dont worry about what others think about you reporting him /them.. You must bring this out in the open so it can be dealt with .. You must talk to someone about this , someone you can trust..
