Braces are temporary. I know they suck. They really do. They hurt and no one looks better with them. But they are temporary and so completely worth it in how much better your teeth will look.
Glasses are hot. I don't need them and am jealous of people that do. I'd feel silly wearing fake glasses but if I ever find a pair I like I will gladly toss that silly feeling aside. Maybe you might want to take a little more of a chance when picking out your next pair. Find something a little more fun and sassy. You have this great accessory! Use them!
Or...
Contacts if you can wear them. But then you'll be like everone else and that is boring.
Here's a secret, though. If you know that some guys find you pretty even more actually do. Do you tell all the guys you think are hot that they are hot? Do you let them know in any way even if you don't tell them? Guys are the same, they don't always say, either.
You say you aren't ugly but you aren't beautiful. So you don't look like a super model but you are pretty. Don't hide. You know you are pretty and that's just fine. Very fine, in fact.
Here's another secret:
When you act confident you are even prettier. In most things in life pretending is bad for both you and others. But confidence is different. Practice just acting confident. Don't shy away from people, hold your head high, and walk proud. What you will find (I promise! and I rarely promise anything!) is that people will react well to it and you will actually learn to have that confidence in yourself.
You like your hair, eyes, eyelashes and body (seriously, you like your body, braces and glasses are nothing compared to your body!). When you feel insecure about anything in how you look focus your mind on what you know looks good.
Most importantly: You really are so very much more than your looks. Your self image will never, ever improve if you don't let your personality have it's time in the sun. It can be hard to find the courage to just be you and not worry about how you look but people will react well to it when they find out they can't beat you down with silly and pointless words. That's another promise.

If you're not feeling good about you you're really putting out negative vibes and not attracting people to you that would actually value. The best thing you could do is to focus the energy you're putting into worrying into something more productive like enhancing your appearance and finding ways to develop your confidence in yourself. There will always be girls with different features and attributes. That doesn't make you any less, just different. When the guy that is meant to be with you is meant to find you he will find you..whether you're dressed to the nine's or wearing sweatpants. You're not ready now because even if the perfect guy approached you, you're not secure with who you are and would depend on him too much to validate your beauty and worthiness. Life will progress whether you want it to or not, be patient.

I could give you a lecture about body image and how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, etc. but I know you probably get that from parents, etc. So...
Give it two years. You'll grow and fill out and you'll have the braces off and wear contact lenses AND you'll be the cutest girl around- just be patient.

Honey, confidence is very attractive. People enjoy being around others who feel good about themselves. I know plenty of girls with braces and glasses that have guys drooling.

Does your friend act like she is worried about her looks? Probably not. Confidence is very attractive. When you quit worrying what people think about you and just act like yourself, then people will see the real you and like you for that.
I know that sounds like something your parents would say, but it's true. I'm 300 pounds bald, fat, and ugly, but I don't care so it doesn't affect me. My friends, and a few women, like me for me.
