Bump ** Sorry.

Part of feeling ugly is your age. As you get older you'll stop caring . 3 boyfriends already? I didn't have my first until I was in grade 12. And it lasted a couple months. Stop stressing about having a boyfriend. I think you are a beautiful young girl.. but what I think doesn't matter. Its what you think. Don't be so hard on yourself hunny.

I was an extremely homey child. The clincher, I was a farmers' daughter. Then we were forced to move to a larger town (30000) when I was 9. Still wearing long farmer girl dresses - great it was the start of mini skirt time ! I learned to sew fast, good, and keep it up. My parents were NO help. I'm 50 now, 3 of the most gorgeous kids, not skinny etc, gorgeous internally. They attract good people to them. My daughter will not wear makeup, I was a makeup artist for a few years. Just be try to yourself. I mean it. Be true to yourself. Don't sell your soul for nothing. My hubby, bald, old like me, but the best person in the world, caring for me, etc. Find your passion and do it.

i know what i say wont make a diffrence because you have to be the one that thinks diffrently but if it makes you feel any better the guys in high school r really stupid and you wont belive me until you go to college a find out that the hot guys in high school arnt so hot anymore!!!! if you start being alittle nicer to your self people will see that change and be attracted to you its like jedi mind tricks every person is like a telephone pole sending out signals and if all your thinking is im ugly then thats the message being sent out!!! so find what beautful about you and then project that out to the world!!! belive me it works i hated how i looked!!! you should read the book the secrets!! it will explain better good luck and just Know that your time will come and all the blond girls will fade away

You are still so young. You've had 3 bfs allready. Guess what? I didn't have one all through school. I can't say anything about the ugly part because I haven't seen you. I do know what it feels like to hate oneself. All I can say is if someone doesn't want to be with you then it's their loss, right? If somebody doesn't want to be with you then they are probably not good to be around anyway. Keep your chin up. Things will work out for the good.

oooh, darlin'...i know u won't believe me...but i SO sucked in high school!!!! but lemme tell ya...a few years out..every single one of the "popular" girls looked like SHIT and i was SMOKIN HOT. (NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY LOL)high school is just so very difficult for some of us...but, trust me...your moment to shine awaits. :)

Yeah, blonds fade, drive guys away, have no 'guts', especially the OMG ones.

Thanks everyone!

yup, three bfs by 10th grade sounds good to me! My first was in 11th, and since I've met my husband, I hardly had any r/ships last longer than 6 months, and I'm THIRTY!

To raise your self confidence, it will take time and perserverence. You need to believe in yourself in spite of what others say or do. You need to love yourself for who you are. It can take a LONG time fix self esteem issues, there really isn't an overnight fix. But start by finding something you like about yourself. A talent you have, something that makes you smile, and focus on that. There IS something good that you can love about yourself. its tough to focus on things you enjoy about yourself when physical appearance seems so important to people your age. But with time, if you love yourself, your inner beauty WILL show through, no matter what you look like on the outside.

I just remembered one thing that I did in high school to make myself feel better. I did my nails. They were always perfect. I could look down at my hands and see that at least SOMETHING was perfect and right and nice in my life. It was little, but sometimes it made all the difference.

sweetheart i felt the same about myself when i was your age. you have a bit of growing to do yet, soon you will realise no one is ugly. that is just an expression. we all have good traits in us. never be ashamed of yourself, you are beautiful as we all are in our own ways. your confidence will grow as you mature , do not put yourself down hun.

There was this girl I served with in the Army, her name was Jane and she was no raving beauty by any account, rather plain and homely looking (she was also a good friend of mine). We went to the soldiers club for drinks and there were some pretty hot looking chics in the bar but you know what....the bullshit that came out of their mouths and the way the behaved removed any of that outer beauty they had, these girls were right bitches too.

My friend Jane was very humble but strong and you know what...because of her personality and nature, she was far more beautiful in most people's eyes than those dolled up bitches.

Even more ironic was that more people talked to Jane and the bitches got less attention which only infuriated them.

If you have an ugly personality it DOES make you look ugly no matter how beautiful you might be and as my BF always says "You can't polish a turd".

Teens and young adults seem to focus more on looks but they come to realise it's very superficial in the end. Besides, if they are going to be like that then you DEFINITELY DON'T want to know those idiots

Oh, so they go for the empty headed lada eye candy girls? Back in my day we'd call them "body by Fisher, brains by Mattell" girls. (fisher body was a automobile thing)

Just be yourself, who you are... you aint ugly to everybody no matter what you look like... if that were the case, I'd still be waiting for my first date. It's always better to date boys who like you for you as you are anyway and when the right one comes along, he will think you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

That is so true isn't it lil50. I like the way you said it. Ugly is just an expression. And we all feel ugly at some time in our life. And I don't see anyone as ugly not even me. I may feel it at times. But that usually has something to do with an emotion.
