Big Dave, be proud of who you are. Looks aren't what makes a man. Sure those things seem important in High School, but in life they hold NO WEIGHT. Jesus was a man of sorrow and pain. He endured and now He helps us to endure! God loves you and me. As you can see by my flick, I'm no looker either. No one's ever accused me of being cute. But Dave I am confident because of God's Love in me.

Dave, my heart broke when I read this! Listen, many people are cruel to others so that it keeps focus off of them! Your life is very important and you were created because GOD has a plan for your life!
Number one, do you realize how superficial people can be? So much so, that noone can see your beauty as I see much beauty in your words...which are a reflection of your heart! I see you as a beautiful person and one, I would not mind having as a friend! Truly!
What saddens me...you think you are physically ugly! Hun, if you think this...change it! Get a new hair style, change the things you do not like. If you have pimples...get some medication and free yourself from them. Truth is, we can improve our looks in 100's of ways but, it is the beauty which comes from inside, which really matters!!
Unfortunately, some teachers, are not good ones. If a teacher did this to you, I would say that the teacher made an F in fairness and in truth! You see, you cannot take the blame for what others refuse to see! If they are biased for some reason...that is their problem and one which will, eventually, surface and they will have to look at their own "demons."
I want you to know, as a Christian woman and Mom of two grown girls, I do care and I do love your preciuos heart! You opened it just enough to see that you are a good and worthwhile young man! I want you to know that I am praying for you as I see your goodness and I also feel your pain! I pray, God will take this from you and allow you to see the beauty in which you are blessed. I pray that God will give you wisdom to know you have a purpose and that God loves you more than anyone on this earth can! May your life be filled, with the joy of the Lord and may your heart stay as beautiful as what I see!
If you want to talk, e-mail me! You are very much someone I would love to call, Friend!

I was treated horribly in high school by my peers - I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't cool enough, etc. etc. etc. - life was just not fair when I was in school - and I felt many of the same sentiments you have expressed.
The trick is (and no, it sure isn't easy) that you have to be happy with yourself. If you are not happy with yourself, then you radiate that to others, even if you don't mean to. Stop sleeping the weekends away and find a hobby that you can enjoy on your own. Figure out what things you are not happy with about yourself and work to improve them. (Which may simply mean changing the way you view yourself.) Ignore what the other kids say - it is you that must live with yourself, so as long as you are happy with you, then you will be fine.
Those drug addicts and criminals that go to your school? - Karma will catch up with them - if they don't straighten themselves out, then they will not have a brighter future.
I know it seems hopeless right now, but trust me - I was the "useless nobody" in high school and for a few years I had to find contentment in keeping myself company. I focused on my spirituality and my persued my personal interests, and things started turning around for me just after high school. Now not only am I happy with myself, but I also have a ton of friends.
Things will turn around for you too if you can find your own inner-happiness. Best Wishes.

What is important in life is to develop your talents and abilities so that you can contribute positively to a better world. Life is a struggle and is meant to be this way. The people who overcome the most become the strongest characters. Being mistreated and abused, can make you more sensitive to the immorality in this world, and motivate you to want to make a difference in this area of life. You have to become like a spiritual warrior in life, and fight to do the right thing and to feel good about yourself. Meditation/pray, mind-body exercise, eating healthy, not overindulging, and being open to good inspiration from all possible sources can make you spiritually stronger. Learn to be emotionally self sufficient, so that others don't affect how you feel about yourself. If people make you angry, channel that anger in some other direction that will bring about positive change in your life. Personality and character are a lot more important than looks. One has to become real tough in this world, in order to really make things happen.

Big Dave, I'm praying you'll still come back and read this. I'm not going to tell you "looks don't mean a lot". We both live in a world that celbrates the outward. But I want to remind you, God looks inward. Also, I've suffered from hydrodentitis suprateva...which has left me scarred on the face. I know what it is like to have folks look at you. But I also know what it is like to finally find someone who looks inward, and to one day be a father to a son who doesn't know the difference between good looking and ugly.
I want to let you know, I am praying - asking God, to Great Provider, to give you the strength to endure each day, to ask Him to reveal to you the purpose He has. God creates each of us for a reason, but sadly, many of us live an entire life without every seeking this purpose. I will ask Him not only to reveal His purpose, but to give you the courage to pursue this purpose, and to fill complete once you know your purpose.

I think you are a wonderful person.you have a beautifull soul and that is a very important thing. All the drug addicts and other so called "cool" guys have no quality at all.Please don't have bad thougths about yourself. you are more than you think. I would rather have a friend like you than some idiot that thinks he is very cool and does all stupid things.
your purpose is to overtake your fears, to become a succesful person in every way...you are still young and many things can change, believe me :)
If you need a friend to talk to, this is my yahoo messenger id : io_toni
God bless you

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry you feel this way.l agree with Gail. You are valuable, and people can be so cruel and there are plenty of things like Gail suggested about what you can do with looks. I am sure there are people who love you. God loves you and he sees you as a wonderul human being . I believe that there is someone for everyone. God has a special person picked out just for you. You sound like an incredible person. Just because people at school are calling you names that is not who you are. Don't believe those lies. Sometimes we hear bad things so much we start believing them.....when they are not true at all. My ex used to call me names, and I would believe it. I realized no one could treat me bad, if I allowed them to. I put a stop to it. I had to believe what God says about me. I believe you are a beautiful person. I am seriously praying for you and I pray that God gives you the confidence you need. This totally broke my heart, that you are hurting like this . I am so sorry. Feel free to email me if you need someone talk to . I would be absolutely devestated if one of my children felt this way about themselves. I will pray for you. Listen to Gails advice too.Here to help you if you want it.

hi. "How do you have self assurance each thing got here into existence? do you think of there replaced right into a huge advance or something?" the huge bang only describes how the universe behaved almost immediately after the very initiating of time (regardless of that replaced into), yet no one is conscious how the universe and each thing in it got here into existence or whether it DID come into existence (possibly it has constantly existed because of the fact the initiating of time, whose commencing place can't be stated considering that would desire to require a reason to start it with none time wherein to propagate its consequences). some theorize that vacuum fluctuations may well be to blame for the universe. by ability of how, the huge Bang isn't an explosion or a "advance." that's considered one of those area itself and count increasing to fill that area. it is exciting stuff, try examining it! "and what's your objective on earth? just to delight yourselves?" My objective is to stay as long as i can and stay a friendly existence. existence may well be friendly the two in fascinating myself and in fascinating others. "and why be superb to human beings if it doesnt benefit you?" undemanding, because of the fact i'd desire to get carry of an identical therapy back and because it makes me sense good. straight forward, isn't it? "And who replaced into the 1st human? a monkey???" Humanity turns into confusing to define once you get closer to it, evolutionarily talking. somewhat, the earliest hominids have been closer to regardless of links apes to human beings (which some speculate is darwinius masillae). "And why are we alright here?" I dunno. "a good number of think of believing in God is irrational, yet a huge advance and evolving from apes would not look any further valuable." it somewhat is probable considering you haven't any longer given it an honest examination. the two the huge Bang and evolution are grounded in medical evidence. each thing else i don't have a proof for- nicely, i'm only no longer the style to assume that God is the respond. there may well be reasons in the back of the universe that we could no longer start to fathom.
