I'm a 14 year old girl and extremely ugly. I am not being dramatic either, I've known my entire life. When I was younger I didn't really care about my looks, but now that I'm older it's ruining my life. I've never been called ugly, but I know people think it. The only person who said I was ugly to my face was my moms boyfriend. But my mom didn't care, because she's obsessed with him and doesn't care about me. My entire life, only 3 guys have had crushes on me. And I was like 6 years old then, but I've gotten uglier the older I get. Guys do talk to me, only because they like my personality. Not my looks. And their only friends. I even posted a picture on here before, and people confirmed that I was really ugly. The only thing they thought was pretty was my eyes. I also never wear make up, because I'm embarrassed because it will just make me uglier. Nothing can make me pretty or average. I will always be alone and ugly. I might as well mention that I have no friends, just people who talk to me sometimes. I've thought about killing myself a lot of times, because to get anywhere in life you need to be pretty. I've always wanted to be a singer or an author, but I'll be too ugly for a singer. Also, my sister is average looking and when she told someone we were sisters they looked shocked and said we look nothing alike :(

I don't know what to do anymore, I hate been ugly. Is there even a point to living if your ugly?

Always remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if looking in the mirror offends you, then just don't look in the mirror.



What is beauty is some people's eyes is in others blandness; and what is ugly in some people's eyes is in others interesting and characterful.



So make the best of what you have been landed with, exploit the good bits, and make sure the bad bits don't really matter.



What interests other people more is themselves, not you. If you take an interest in them, who they are and what they are doing, they may well forgive your ugliness, or even associate it with a nice feeling and judge you quite differently to how you judge yourself.



As for Oprah, I have no time for woman who has a hissy fit with a foreigner ignorant of her celebrity who suggested she was not wealthy enough to afford a top designer handbag.



And as for singers - was Pavarotti pretty? Consider too the French lady who won Wimbledon this year. She is never going to be a supermodel like some of those Russian barbie dolls, but my goodness she can hit a ball.

When you were younger you probably didn't look in the mirror as much since you only cared about enjoying yourself. The problem with school is its all about image & you're self conscious about your own looks because people in school are constantly hooking up, you feel left out & ugly because you haven't done this. If you're genuinely ugly you really shouldn't kill yourself because beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The world is a big place & you have hardly been anywhere to claim that you're ugly. One day you will meet someone who will make you the happiest person in the world so for now just persevere through school & don't do anything irrational. Enjoy your life since its the only one you get, you have no do overs. I'm going to go out of my way here & say you are probably constantly - paranoid or have social anxiety. You're also probably very shy & try to hide certain features when talking or looking at someone ect. Don't hide these features, the more you acknowledge the fact they aren't ugly features is the moment you realize you are not actually ugly but in fact beautiful. Also a personality goes a long way in relationships. This generation is pretty ****** up so its hard to find someone who realises this but when you find that one person you will be the happiest girl on earth.

People should like you for your personality not for your looks. Your personality can get you somewhere. Don't listen to them who keeps saying your "ugly". God made you and everyone is beautiful in their own way. Everyone is UNIQUE and your are too! They might be jealous of your personality. Looks shouldn't be the main thing that someone looks at or pay attention to. Its what's inside that matters. Natural is beauty. You see people wear makeup and they look like they are trying hard. A little goes far. Don't try to be someone your not. As Lady Gaga say "You were born that way". Just smile and show your not affected because YOU have an awesome personality while some people are fake and ignorant. Smile a lot and show them you dont care what they say because you are beautiful. YOU could leave a mark on earth for something you will do in the future. Maybe you will be the next president who knows?But LIVE BY THE MOMENT NOT BY THE PAST. LIVE EACH DAY LIKE ITS YOUR LAST <3 <3 <3 Your beautiful just the way you are. :)

What's the point of being pretty? Your looks have no effects on your actions and personality, that's just who you choose to be.

People just think that only pretty people do important things because that's how it is in movies.

WELL WAKE UP THATS NOT THE WORLD.

Even if someone is the ugliest, stupidest, weakest person in the world and everyone hated him, he could still change the world for the better.

And you probably couldn't be a singer even if you were pretty, just speaking statistically, there's ALOT of pretty girls that can't be singers.

I don't see how your looks effect your writing at all.

Don't use your looks as an excuse not to live your life to the fullest, I don't care if you look like a lump of poo you could still do great things for the world. Everyone has a reason they're here, people come to Earth deformed, ugly, some people get mutilated in their lives, some people are born without the ability to walk or hear or see AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT LOOKS??

Do you think God cares about how you look? DO you think blind people care about how you look?

Is life only worth living to show off and be accepted by the stupid society of today?

A life spent helping someone blind would be much better spent than being beautiful and just being a dumb piece of eyecandy.

Even if you are judged or people reject you, do you live to be praised and accepted? You live to do good things and enjoy your life, and for that you only need to do your best and love yourself. DO you only love your friends because they're pretty/average? Why would you assume people would only love you because you're pretty/average? Any person who has someone that loves them is living a life with a point because you have become important to someone. And if you cared at all about the people who loved you, you would see that your life has a point.

Although I wrote this really harsh, I really wanted to get my point across because suicide and suicidal feelings are very serious and yours are very stubborn, so I wanted to give the most sincere answer because I really do think that your question is important.

Dont ever kill yourself! Your young & when you get older you can become very beautiful. Im sure your not as ugly as you say but there is someone out there for you! Like i said your young so give it time. You can put on a little make up & dress nice, as long as you feel pretty then you are! Dont over think it or be so hard on yourself.. If you can sing then you can be a singer and if you can wright you can become a author! Go with your heart and please never give up on life.

Hun, everyone is beautiful in there own way! Don't put yourself down, think positive things! One day you will find a guy that tells you your beautiful everyday, it just takes time. I'm sure your mom does care about you & loves you dearly. Its not the looks its the personality that men look at & if they care about looks than yeah what ^^^ Joe said. Lol

You shouldn't let anyone bring you down. just brush it off & move on (:

You don't have to be pretty to get anywhere in life look at Rosie O' Donnell, look at Oprah, look at Barry Manilow. They're successful and uglier than a mud fence. Don't give up, you are a courageous young woman that can be successful and raise heads.

Kloe, those that can't skim by on looks are the ones that are required to develop a personality. A much more difficult skill than make up artist.

a good guy is going to go after you BECAUSE of your personality. a guy who goes after you because of your looks is a horndog. its not the fact that if you should worry about how you look. you shouldent care what other people judge you by your looks. because those people are a-ss holes. do what you enjoy and talk to those you like. nobody in this world has the right to judge anybody else. remember this.

You'll never truly be happy but you can get by. Once you have kids they'll prob be more important to you than your looks but yeah, prepare for a long, tough life full of disappointments and jealousy.
