If you saw someone that looked like you, what would you think? Would you maybe change the hair, makeup, different style of clothes? I've had alot of male friends, and some wouldn't date a tall girl, some wouldn't date a fat girl. Then some liked both of the above. So no matter how you look, there is a certian someone who you're just prefect for. Buy a nice bottle of perfume, spra it all over hold that head up and go get em tiger....People believe what they see, they'll believe in you.

We are all shapes and sizes, and our looks vary immensely, but look around you, there are down right ugly people who are successful in career and in relationships, and there are beautiful people who don't have anything and feel the same way you do. Its all in the mind. As you become older all these feelings will subside, you will gain the friends and relationships that you want and you will look back and think about the time and energy that you wasted worrying about this.
Maybe you should get a confidence building book, read it, follow some of the exercises, they will get you to focus on the positive and not the negative (Which in all truth are either non existent or are temporary due to your age)
Anyway good luck with the future.

You are who you are!
just be!
i know it's hard when your 11 because there are constantly "clicks" and pressure from people in school to fit in and look a certain way...... you should look beyond that. See people for who they really are and they will see you in the same light.
Beauty glows from within, and people realize this more and more the older they get..... so get a head start on everyone.
just do what you love to do and always learn and be open and your image will be a reflection of that.

The best tip for self confidence is not to compare to others. People from all ages admire persons who dare to be themselves.
Another tip for building self confidence is to get drama lessons, you will get more confident, you won´t care about looking ridiculous, I guarantee.

Avoid newspapers,glossy fashion magazines.Avoid being influenced by nagative celebs & their lifestyles.Avoid negative music.Read up on positive thinking & affirmations,that is the repetition of positive words or phrases,
to build up your confidence.

What is it that you think is not "good" in you? If you think you have worst of that feature/trait in you, look around. There are people who may not even be as good as you. Be thankful to God for whatever He has given to you. Once you surrender yourself to Him, He will lift you and always carry you, whereever you want to be. So have FAITH. Thats the best "confidence pill" :-)

Other peoples opinions are not as important as your opinion of yourself. other people who appear to be self-confident are not as confident as you might think. they are still trying to find out who they are. if they can point someone esle out who is not as confident it some how makes them feel better. You are just as good, if not better then they are. just be who you are and people will like you for it will show them that you believe in yourself.

Treat other people the way you would like to be treated or Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
