How can I raise my self esteem level in this particular situation?

Question

I've been going to this college in southern california in my home county for almost 4 years now and since then I think my level of self esteem has gone down like 90%. I'm starting to feel stupid and very homely/ugly looking in comparison to all the people who attend this school. The girls who go to this school are absolutely GORGEOUS like no joke they look like models! They also get the higher grades in classes and transfer to Universities quickly (my younger sister being one of them *ugh*) I don't know if it's their looks that make the male professors give them higher grades or what but I am really starting to feel down and there are no other colleges in the area for me to go to. I've tried loosing weight and stuff and going to tutors but I am still feeling very dumb and ugly. I don't know how I can raise my self esteem when i feel like I stumbled upon a beauty pageant (where models click clack around sporting their high heels and short skirts with their perfect fitting Abercrombie shirts) rather than a college.. Any suggestions on how I can maybe raise the self esteem in this situation? p.s. sorry it sounds like a bad live journal post but its really getting to me.

Answer 1

I wouldn't be surprised if the male professors do give some of these girls better grades based on their looks.

My best advice to you is to study as hard as you can.  If you know what your doing and answer tests and homework correctly you will prevail.  Just study harder and longer.  As far as your looks are concerned, you can either do a make-over or just accept yourself the way you are.  Beauty comes within.  The professors will see that as well if you take some time to speak to them.

I've seen some very homely men get some very beautiful girls based on their confidence level, and charisma.  Check out how to achieve these two things and start talking to your professors.

Good luck!
