and yes i know my grammar needs improvement so if you want to critique thats fine do it i am not against it. because i know it needs work.

Answer 1

The key is to never get angry or disrespectful, because parents always get defensive and snappy when you do that. The next time she makes a comment, tell her calmly and forcefully that you are fine with the way you look, and don't really care what others think since you're too busy to worry about them.

Answer 2

I think you look fine, I meant probably look fine. Tell your mom you are a grown woman. Tell your mom to have another child 'cause it ain't you.
