Answer 1

Yeah, it's not working. Maybe send a myspace link? That should work...

And by the way, I know exactly how that feels to have your own parent talk down on you constantly. My dad is the king of verbal abuse. Just know that he's only talking down on you because he's unhappy with something in his life.

It's horrible isn't it? Parents are supposed to be there and tell you how beautiful you are and boost your confidence. They're the LAST PEOPLE in the world that should be mean like that. But it happens. Just be strong and blow it off. Do you have a mom to talk to? How about some nice friends? You really should have someone to talk to about this because when you dont, you start believing it like you are now. Don't!

Everyone's beautiful in their own way!! If you ever need someone to talk to my e-mail address is [e-mail] k? Good luck Hun! :)

HAVE A STAR!

Answer 2

I can't get this link,sorry. But listen ,don't beleve what ur dad says,ok? If you like who you are then you are an amazing person. Have you ever heard the saying,"Beauty is only skin deep"? Listen to that and dont care what people say. Including the guy who answered this like carlz or something stupid like that. But ignore what your dad says. I wish i could be more help. : ) (I'll try again.)

Answer 3

hello music :)

Honestly.......just my personal opinion.....I feel that getting everyone else's input on how you look will just defeat the ultimate purpose of what you're trying to accomplish.

I, too, was told by my parents for all of my young life that I was "fat" and "ugly". I am now 34 years old and when I look back at old videos and pictures of myself? MYYY GOD I was so beyond thin and almost unhealthy looking. What the heck my parents were thinking, is beyond me. I'd do anything to go back in time and just ignore that junk from them and enjoy being thin, although I'd be a "HEALTHY" thin.

NOTHING will change what your dad says to you except you. Depending on your age, you can do a couple of things that will help you grow and appreciate you for you.

No one can really say "awww, well don't let him tell you that" or "just ignore him". It's darn near impossible because we take the awful things people say to heart.

First, do you have a counselor at school that you can talk with? If you're under age 18, that's your best route is to talk with a counselor at school that you can trust. You can share your feelings with them and your struggles and hold them in confidence. They're trained to handle all types of situations children and teens go through growing up. It can be a very tough time in life!

If you're over 18 and have ability to seek counseling, definitely do that. Their training and expertise can help you filter through all the negative things that have been said and help you cope with them along with point you in directions to help you BUILD your self confidence.

Second, make sure you take care of yourself. I mean that in all types of ways. Do things that you enjoy doing because this helps with self confidence. If you enjoy sports, get involved! Sports are very healthy for you physically and mentally and the team as a whole supports each other. This comradery certainly boosts self confidence and gives you a sense of well being as well. Your comrades support you and you support them!

There are numerous activities to get involved in where you work with people of your age through school if you're not into sports. Find something that will get you involved with others your age. You'll find that the whole "Self Image" part really doesn't play a part in how well you succeed alongside your peers and they aren't focussed on it either!

Just because another human being tells you that you're fat or ugly, doesn't mean it's true. Sometimes it's their own ridiculous insecurities for saying such rude things. Sometimes it's jealousy as well or they just want to keep you down. Rising above that is very difficult when you're young.

As you grow and change into an adult, you will look back on this and see that these awful words your dad says were just BS and nonsense and you'll KNOW that regardless of what you look like, you make a difference in the world to a whole bunch of people who really don't care about such shallow things.

Good luck to you! I hope some of this helps. It's certainly not a professional opinion, but having been through this, I do understand what you're talking about.

Answer 4

The link didnt work, but even if you are ugly your father should not be telling you that. What a jerk! You should get away from him when you can and go far in life!

Answer 5

Your dad has no right to say that, I think everone has something beautiful about them( i know this sounds cliche but it is true) but your link doesnt work hun. I might know how you feel my dad says im fat because i have a big butt, but thats the only big part of my body really, and he is dead serious when he says it.

Answer 6

the link doesn't work - but to be honest with you - you can NOT let other people decide on how you feel about yourself. i have struggled with self-image my WHOLE life and it sucks! but ya know what? you have to learn to love yourself for who you are - i know that sounds so cliche but it's SO true! you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life - so you mine as well learn to love you! make a list of ALL of the positive things about yourself and read it every day until it starts to help. no offense, but your dad is a jerk if he's telling you that - don't listen to him - you are perfect just the way you are!

Answer 7

Link is still not working

Answer 8

You really need a working link!

Answer 9

The link isn't working but you sound like you're a great girl. Please don't listen to the rotten talk your dad gives you. I'm sure you're a very lovely girl. Best of Luck in all that you do ;)

Answer 10
