Do any other teen out there hate when ppl say its the inside that counts?

Question

Honestly, it gets annoying, everyone knows that in high school, most people are ALL about appearances. And I have to admit, I am, I wouldn't date a ugly or fat guy, and I care very much about how I look, but no I am am not snobby or conceited.

And it really seems like the preps get all the attention, I am a prep but still I think its a bit unfair...

Answer 1

Maybe it helps some of us who are not so pretty on the outside. We are not cheerleaders, football players, mayors, coaches, teachers, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, or brain surgeons.

So, maybe we need to find another way to judge people? Do you have the biggest breasts? Is that important?

I care very much about my appearance also, but I won't pretend to be someone I am not. Will I cry because I am not the prettiest guy that answered the question? I doubt you will give it a second thought.

Yes, I feel what is inside is much more important than my chest or butt.

What one stands for, believes in, and how someone stands up for others is much more important than your figure or how you feel about your figure.

As a sidenote: Opinions are like rectum's: Everyone has one and they all stink.

PPS: I still care more about how someone feels on the inside then how they look on the outside.

Answer 2

Not at all. Because you'll realize this later in life. I just happen to be thinker and came to this conclusion a long time ago so I sit back and watch you preppies get so absorbed in your own problems you fail to see the big picture. In the short run guys and girls are attracted to each other first and foremost physically. But in the long run, it's the relationships that were based off personality that last. So what if your boyfriend is hot? If he's a dumb then he's going to end up never graduating from college or highschool (on no!) and only has hopes of living in a middle class or lower society unless he decides he likes debt. Don't get me wrong, there are exceptions, but please: this is reality.
And what do you call a dog with three legs? Nothing, it's still a dog. Just because you say you aren't snobby or conceited doesn't mean that's true. You're probably just saying that because you're so preoccupied about your impression on others (not that you shouldn't) that you don't want to seem that way even though you are.

Answer 3

It's not personal. Just in general, a lot of people like teenagers because a few bad ones ruin it for all. Generally speaking, teenagers can be obnoxious, pains in the butt, know it alls even though they haven't been out in the real world yet, punks, loud, aggressive, and difficult. The teenagers in my area are like this, the ones that I see. They are disrespectful and rude. It's like they only think about themselves and don't care the affect they have on others. But then there are some like you I'm sure that are almost none of these things. Don't worry about what you can't control. Just be who you are and let your voice and actions change their minds. Be positive. Smile. Be who you are. Don't let what others may think of you influence you negatively. edit: That's so funny that some teens think we are jealous. I'm happy with the age I am because I finally have some wisdom from some experiences. I have more control over my life. It's great to be an adult. :-) You have a higher appreciation and a greater understanding. College is a life changing experience. You won't walk out the same person you walked in as. I don't feel as old as I am. 34. I'm in great shape and life is great. I work for what I have. I do get annoyed with my snotty sometimes SD b/c she has the entitlement complex and gets really upset if she doesn't get everything she wants when she wants it. I just want to smack her when she gets that way but I never would. I just walk away. I refuse to argue with her. I can't wait until the day she has to pay her own way. I'm sure she will see things differently. She is horrible to her brother. He looks up to her and is a sweet kid.

Answer 4

the 'preps' or whatever name you want to give the popular cliques, get all the attention because nine times out of ten, they are the ones saying what you are saying, which does make them come off as shallow. Yes looks are what first attracts us, but all of those how have picturesque looks can turn out to be shallow or very in love with themselves, as some ugly people too, but not often. So once you learn that you start to judge less and less on looks, and then you realise that the inside, really, truly does make a person beautiful. Sadly many materlistic, superfical, shallow teens do not realize this just because they are inexperinced (or deep down they really are rotten). Thank god I'm not one of them.

Answer 5

I guess its more for those who think that they are ugly and fat that would like hearing the inside is what counts. But everyone knows that yes appearances count too, you basicly need to be both okay looking and be a nice person. It does get annoying hearing it over and over again, but sometimes when you get a okay looking guy and he ends up being a *** hole than really his looks seem to fade or the other way around if you get a guy you find less attracted to and is such a sweet heart his looks seem to go higher on your one to ten scale. But whatever it may be you should never look at everyone the same and give them a chance, you might be surprised on what you will find.

Answer 6

What makes a person appear attractive and pleasing to others? Many people put the emphasis on looks, grooming and style. But several independent studies have found that personality and behavior far outweigh physical appearance or features, such as the mouth, eyes, nose, hair, and so forth. People generally associate attractiveness with warmth and kindness, the studies found. If such qualities are apparent, even ordinary-looking individuals are perceived by others as good-looking.

So far better than plastic surgery or high fashion is the Bible’s advice: “Do not let your adornment be that of the external braiding of the hair and of the putting on of gold ornaments or the wearing of outer garments, but let it be the secret person of the heart in the incorruptible apparel of the quiet and mild spirit.” (1 Pet. 3:3, 4; see also Proverbs 31:30.) Surely, attention to one’s physical appearance has its place. But to cultivate and express spiritual qualities in one’s daily life is a far more positive approach to becoming attractive and pleasing to others.

Answer 7

Im not a teen,but it is true,and im not ugly just because i think its the inside that counts.I would never Date or marry a very attractive man..when really hes an A** inside Because i am alerady married to a Real man who Loves me,and he might not be the Perfect looking model type of guy,but hes closest to what a real man should be.Hes not ugly either by the way.:)

Answer 8

Why should we?

I think it is great someone thinks that. Maybe you should take after them.

I'm in high school(I'm probably older) and that really doesn't matter much to me. And that's what's wrong. Things don't change unless people change them.

And obviously you are kinda snobby since you think you are too good for someone because they are fat or not too good looking. To even think you could judge if someone is ugly or not says it all.

A little humility goes a long way.

Answer 9

Hi

Yes I admit when your young its annoying. But i hate to say it when you grow up its not as important! Obviously looks still do play a big part in society and you are still often judged by looks but not in so much of a big way.

When you are in your twenties etc I think people are more excepting. You find other things to worry about in life!

Answer 10

I'm in 7th grade and I don't think it's annoying, I think it's true. I absolutely hate how everyone only cares how you look. Not everybody has to be like that, you know!
