l am incredibly ugly 16 year old girl. One of the worst main issues is the side of my faces it looks so freaking disgusting everyday l always try to hide the sides of my face somehow, l have to constantly sit on the back of buses and trains so no one can see the side of my face. Everyday I look in the mirror I feel disgusted and wonder why it has to be me that looks like this. In school l am treated terrible beyond belief. People give me dirty looks, l have no friends, people ignore me when l talk to them, people get mad if l sit near them or if they have to sit next to me. Even some teachers cant look me in the eyes. all of this hurt my feelings and made me so angry, now l dont feel like going there anymore, all lm doing is helping those phony fake teachers make money and l gross everyone out. l deiced to take a break from this nightmare, by faking 3 days being ill,the 4th day l tried going outside but as soon as l saw someone on the street l ran back home because l felt so anxious so my mom let me stay home again. The next two days l hid in my public library, l just read books all day until it was time to go home.

l have serious issues with my appearance and feel ugly no matter what l do with myself, l refuse to go outside because l have been insulted and humiliated by strangers for my looks, everyone on the streets gives me looks of hate its not in my head.l know have very bad social anxiety. everything is about looks, how am l supposed to ignore people when this happens everyday? l have to go to school tomorrow because l have to hand in a project that was way overdue and l am so scared l also got a really short terrible haircut and l can barely put it into a ponytail, l dont want to show my face in that school l am tired of getting treated like a monster l dont know what to do anymore, there is no online school and its not free, there is no homeschool either all l can do is dropout and get a GED. l am shaking and want to vomit l dont like being around people l am too hideous l dont understand why could l have been born at least average so l can have a normal life. please help what should l do? lm so depressed, miserable and scared for my life.

Hey, hey, hey! You sound really depressed and while depressed, it's normal to feel miserable. Until I was at your age, I used to be a popular and good looking girl, and later I fell into depression (due to family problems) and plus I had acne. I started feeling miserable, refused to go to school, did not look people in the face. I felt I looked very bad, and did everything to look worse! I told the psychiatrist I saw that I saw a monster, a frog, something rotting in the mirror... And I thought that everybody were looking at me. I started going out in the evening, and I got used to feel better at night. Know what? Later I was into photography, and I realised that nobody were looking at me! Nobody are watching each other or think about any other person more than that person could do - don't forget that.



Years passed and I learned how to look better, and to be healthier. When I look at my pictures -I took and nobody saw- from those years of depression, I see that I really do not look good: My face is meaningless, my skin is faded, my lips look like I am about to cry, my clothes do not fit me, and so on... Since my childhood, I used to believe that I was an elephant, and it took my years to realise that I was not! I am about my thirties and I wear the petites! Now, you should see me! I am not hiding any more, and the more I love my body, the healthier it is.



Are you planning to be a model? Is there a universal rule for beauty? Do not believe in camera records, since we manipulate them!



Learn to love yourself, for you deserve this. Do not afraid to try looking better. You may not have the best face or the best body, but these are not things you accomplished. Rather, what you make of yourself, and thus your life is precious. So, go on!

I personally believe that beauty comes from within and beauty is in the eye of the beholder

But i think your main problem is your low self esteem and it maybe paranoia that causes you to feel everyone is giving you dirty looks.

I don't understand what you mean when you say you don't like people seeing the side of your face. I don't like people seeing the side of my face as my nose has some weird curve to it and it makes me feel really self-concious sometimes but it doesn't stop me from going to school and doing what i want in general. I guess we are kinda in the same boat as i am 16 as well :)

I don't mind if you would like to talk more privately about this if you need a friend (don't worry i'm not some weird stalker) :P i have facebook if you want proof, but i would really like to help you if you feel that insecure, i did the same for my gay friend when he found going to school really hard

Being volatile is different from being bipolar, it may also be signs and indications of stress. i have been clinically determined with ADHD, melancholy, stress, and Emotionally volatile (no longer bipolar) alongside with different a probability topics like MDD. So i'd comprehend. it sounds like you do have melancholy, and a distorted self-photo (also been clinically determined with that, lol) i imagine you want to ascertain a therapist, or maybe more beneficial effective, a psychiatrist. Self-harming, mood swings, and consistent theory-about the previous is definetly signs and indications of stress. Please search for a specialist earlier you do some thing stupid. in case you want, i will attempt me suited which could be functional you, in basic terms message me, ok? Iv'e been (i'm) in an analogous concern, per chance i'd be functional you.

People shouldn't be mean to you for any reason, ESPECIALLY how you look like! Life isn't about looks. And it shouldn't get in the way of your education, or well...life. You can't let ANYONE bring you down. Because why does it matter what people think? It only matters what you think of yourself. But you can't let people stop you from going to school. I know how bad this may be for you, but you have to rise above it, and not let it get to you. I reccommnend you really talk with someone who can support you, and give you advice on how to not let bullies get in the way, like a psychologist. People who make fun of you are SHALLOW. They are lame for making fun of someone. I can't even imagine how you must feel! But stick up for your self, and tell people that they're really hurting your feelings. You shouldn't have to go through this. I used to be really self concious about my nose, but up unitl 2 weeks ago, I finally felt comfortable in my own skin...and you can too!

Well, it doesn't matter what people think of you, people are mean and cruel in this world, you really just have to learn how to ignore them. You need a high school diploma to do most things in this world. so go to school and complete your education, graduate with your head held high. Besides, if you really think you're so ugly, try wearing some make up to look better, or wear your hair in a nice style to try and look better.



Or maybe you could try to educate yourself, go to the library and pick up books and teach yourself whatever you need to learn. Good luck to you, and whoever you are, i hope your life gets better soon.

I know this was 5 years ago but I'm 16 and when I read this I saw that everything you said is exactly how I feel :( ... how is everything going now?

I am sorry dear that youve been feeling depressed about this. I recommend you try joining the Catholic church,and start building up your mind/soul,which is way more important than external features. Peace and lots of love dear.
