Hate the way I look

[Patti]

Ugh....okay, so this isn't a really depressive topic but. Is it normal to be really down about how I look?. How I look being, well ugly anyway. Most people at my school say I am. I've only known a few girls to "Like" me, and some might've not been true. Rumours or something, the only girl who is a close friend I KNOW likes me is one who only a few days ago said she was "Madly in love with me". Problem with that is she lives 109 miles away. Anyway I posted this is puberty because I wanted to know if it was just a stage and I would get over it eventually?.

Pretty much everybody is disappointed in one way or another with their appearance. Yes, even the prettiest girls and the handsomest of guys. A mole in the wrong place, a tooth grown in slightly crooked, etc. The good thing about appearances is that, with a little effort, you can change them. If you think you're a little on the bulky side, you can go on a diet and exercise more. If you think you're too skinny, you can eat a little more of certain foods.

Yes, it is normal to worry about your appearance. Eventually, you'll accept the things you can't change. You may come to find that what you perceive as ugly is just a small thing that makes Daniel Daniel. Don't sweat it.

He is ugly, and he knows it. He is being prejudiced because he is a bit darker than other kids, and being ugly and not so high-end and preppy like the other kids.

But guess what! He doesn't fuckin' care about that. And he doesn't care about anyone who judges people by appearance, because he knows those people aren't even worth to speak to no matter how "popular" or "lookin' cool" they are.

Should he go alone, sitting in the corner, nobody to look at him? No, he has his own influence -- his unique presence is what makes up everything around him.

yeah I think everyone feels awkward at some point about how they look. I do. You say that people at school say this. Do you ask them or are they volunteering the info? And regardless of what they say, fuck'em

The one in the picture? Thank GOD! Finally who said I am Indian and not an Arab.

I am not Indian, but we are close relatives to North-Indians.

People aren't always satisfied on what they have/ who they are.
Physical looks is just an outside appearance, take note that beauty fades away. What matters most is your personality. It's better to have a not so attractive face but with a good personality than to have a attractive looks but nasty and bad personality.

All things are created equal, beautiful and alike. However, there are others who are slightly blessed to be good looking. But at the end of the day, people will judge you of who and what you are, not on how attractive you are. :)

Don't sweat the small stuffs mate. Be humble, be contented with what you have and last but not the least, enjoy your life to the fullest. :yeah:

Not to derail the topic, but in what world is that boy ugly? Certainly not mine. And to bring it back on-topic - this is the point! Not everyone thinks the same looks are attractive! Beauty is not universal!

And also ugh, where do you live! Who could mistake you for being Arab?? :what:
