So, first to list whats wrong- I have an overbite, big front teeth, a "pig" nose (lol it runs in the family), my forehead is too big. My arms are waaaay too skinny. And I have freckles and things like moles... only they are flatter... all over me.
I'm VERY white, and my best friend is the most beautiful person ever. Whenever we go anywhere, all the attention focuses on her. Even though she is pregnant, she is getting all the whistles and stares and calls.
I want to wear makeup, but to be honest I'm afraid to buy it. From 7th-10th grade I wore my brothers handmedowns, and I'm just now starting to wear girl clothes. I feel like if I bought any thing like that, the chasier and other shoppers would be thinking 'That wont help her. She needs to save her money for plastic surgery.'
Even walking around the stores, guys whisper about me, sometimes I hear some of them saying things like 'no way' while the others laugh at them...

I'm so tired of walking around staring at the ground. I hate that I can't just be like all the other teenage girls, walking around buying cute clothes and talking to guys. I can't even bring myself to put on any of these cute clothes because I know how stupid I'll look anyways.
On my left arm, near my shoulder, I had a small tumor removed when I was 10. Now I have a permanent roundish, pinkish bump that will never go away.
There are just SO many things wrong with me, and only a few people really like me. (3 of my friends...) the others, I know are just being nice by talking to me and pretending to be my friend.
>_> I don't know if I'm wanting advice, support, or just to vent. But you get some free 2 points I guess..... Sorry. :(

The only thing I can find wrong with you is low self esteem.
Who cares what other people think? If you can accept yourself for who you are, it will be easier for you to ignore nasty people.

I am so sorry, but like many of the other people said, I think what is hurting you the most is your low self-esteem. Don't try to cover up yourself. Wear things you like. I f you don't want to wear make-up then don't! Just do what you thing is right for yourself. Who knows. Maybe in a couple more years, you will be prettier than your best friend!! Don't let her "prettiness" put you down. If you don't have friends that like you for who you are then you shouldn't be their friend at all. I am sure you are a very sweet girl with extremely low self-esteem. You can get a boyfriend. Jusy look for one that would look at your true self and not your outside self. People that look good on the outside might not look so good on the inside. Remember, God doesn't close one door without opening another. Hope this helped!!!

Hun, I think the first thing you need to work on is your confidence. Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can have. And wearing what you like, and having nice things that you enjoy can help give you confidence. If you're friend is so beautiful, why doesn't she try to help you? A good friend would want to make you feel better about yourself. It seems to me like she's just trying to keep all the attention for herself. And that she wants you next to her to make her stand out more.
Go to a cosmetics store, like Ulta, and have them do a makeover on you. They'll put all the makeup on you, then show you where it is and how to apply it. You can buy it all in the same store and you'll be set. They can probably also help you with a skin care regimen. That's important.
Basically, it all comes down to feeling good about yourself. The better you feel, the better you'll look. Confidence radiates! So if you don't wear the most stylish clothes, but you LOVE what you're wearing and feel amazing, you've accomplished something great. Even if you can only afford ONE thing that makes you hapoy, but you wear it all the time, that's good too!

you at the instant are not grotesque. you're in simple terms with the incorrect team of persons, woman! perhaps you won't be in a position to compete with Megan Fox yet do you quite wanna pass out with douchebags that could spike your drink? you are able to hold out consisting of your man or woman variety of persons, not people who don't locate you eye-catching. you would be wanting a much extra useful existence in case you connect an paintings classification and then pass out to consume some thing, than attempt having exciting in a nightclub with each and every of the alcohol & drugs around you. And on an identical time as I watched somewhat some documentaries approximately plastic surgical procedures, i in simple terms won't be in a position to think of of something functional to restoration on you. you have already got a very good haircut & clothing, face isn't a issue, so all what concerns is calling the appropriate people. And a Guerlain fragrance additionally enables :D

Do you think its possible that youre being WAAAAY TOOO critical of your looks???? There must be something you DO like about your looks...bet you could name more than one. Play up those things you like. Remember that first and foremost what makes you attractive is attitude and self confidence. Throw your shoulders back, put on a smile, and ACT like youre gorgeous...just try it...and watch what happens. The way you feel will change. I promise. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and what fits YOUR idea of feminine. Wear the makeup, jewelry, whatever, that makes YOU feel comfortable, and you will act more comfortable...a very appealing quality. Look at ways you could improve your health and your skin and your shape...do you eat well? drink enough water? get enough sleep? enough exercise? all of those things will help not only your looks but your mood and your health. Dont focus on what other people think...focus on YOU and what you like and want. Thats the only person you need to make happy. If others dont like you thats their business and quite frankly, their loss. And one last thing...creamy white skin can be VERY sexy...and wrinkle (and skin cancer) FREE!
BE YOUR GORGEOUS SELF! :-)
I just read your additional comments...now were down to the REAL issue..that you dont feel great on the inside. There is NOTHING wrong with you. Do what you want, be who you want. Find things that make you happy and develop them. So what if you have a scar from a surgery a few years ago?? So what??? I have scars too, and Im proud of what I survived...and you know what? NOBODY CARES!!! You are spending too much time and energy beating yourself up. Let it go and focus your energy on things you enjoy.
One more addition...just saw your pic and youre pretty!! You have pretty hair and a great face...your bad image is all in your head girl. Work on your confidence!!!!!! Work on your insides...cuz you hav a lot of good to work with on the outside!

whether its true or not...it doesn't matter....it's how you feel inside that counts...I've seen some girls who aren't that gorgeous at all but they are comfortable with themselves, they like themselves and they are fun to be around....So, you go out there and do what makes you feel good about yourself...hair, makeup, manicure/pedicure and buy whatever clothes makes you feel good to be you...and that's the first step. Love yourself enough to walk away from the creeps who may whisper and hang tight with your real friends. Enjoy and appreciate who you are....trust your instincts and don't expect your life to change all at once just because you buy a couple of cute tops.....celebrate every step you take in the journey of loving yourself...everyone must take this journey and everyone has felt the way you do now....so, you must believe that you are just as good as anyone else and deserving of feminine clothes and being a girl and you will, I promise you, will become a self assured, self confident, sensitive, unpretentious, lovely young lady....YOU GO GIRL!!

So sad.All my life I had low self esteem real bad.I am now an adult and still do.It is not a good thing to go through this all this time.You need to find something to boost your self esteem.go pamper yourself like getting your hair done and don't be afraid to try some makeup.if it makes yourself feel better then do it.save some money and go treat yourself to something you really like to wear.I wish I started on my self esteem issues years ago.I too don't look at people when I pass them and I keep my head down.Please do some nice things for yourself.you deserve it.don't be so sad.besides,your looks are changing as you get older.you'll see,it will get better.I'm sure your not ugly,you have just told yourself that for so long that you see yourself worse than others see you.Trust me on that.as far as boys whispering about you and you say people don't like you,well you make it easier for that to happen becouse of how you feel about yourself.if you had confidence,it would stop.Good Luck and Smile!

you are beautiful because you aren't a mistake. don't worry about anyone else. they can't complete you. you'll never be happy until you can learn to be okay with who you are, not how you look. confidence is the most important thing to put on. so wear what you want (without being trashy) and put on as much (or as little) make-up as you want. there will always be someone prettier or more talented, or smarter, or whatever, than you in some category. it's life. but no one's perfect. just beautiful individually.
*peace/love

well if you have a long forehead get bangs you can do lots of things with them i dont have them cause they look bad on me cause i have a small forehead then for clothes go with your friend let her pick cute items out for you and keep trying on clothes till you find something you like tha looks good on you then expirament with makeup til you find your own style what looks good on you then those guys at the store will be kicking themselves for ever saying anything bad to you! braces might help oh and if you want i think you could pull off a lighter brighter blonde to! like ashley tisdale only with short hair!! you have real potential trust me!

First of all dont be so down on yourself because for people to like u u have to like yourself! That is super important. Im in the 7th grade and their is tons of compitition on looks and I care about that stuff but I dont let it rule my life or bring me down because Ive learned to be confident in myself. First of al did u ever think that people are paying attention to your friend because she is pregnant and they think its exciting. Well if u think your friend is so prettygo shopping with her and whatever she tells u to try on do it but also if u really dont like it dont buy it u need to like it to but it doesnt hurt to try things on. And then go makeup shopping or even go get your makeup dun at a place and they will tell u everything u need to get a more gorgeous u. I would love to go shopping for u If i ws ur friend and I bet if u ask ur friend she will to! Shopping Spree!!!!![but on a buget of corse] Be confident in ur self and I bet u will make more friends.

If you want to wear make-up, go to a salon, and get it done to match your skin tones. Ask about the best ways for you to put on the make-up, then try it at home.
For your 'big' forehead: try bangs!
Also, try shoppin' around for some girlier clothes if that is what you want.
