How can i recover from being bullied?

Question

i was bullied for 7 years until i moved to a different school and hid behind my books all day. the kids would make fun of me for my acne problem, that i liked my hair to be shorter, i had braces, i didnt have many friends and was really quiet. it got so bad that i lost all my friends, ate lunch alone, didnt want to go to school and a few times i had been publically humiliated.

im not bullied anymore and havent been for 4 years. but i cant help but think what if those kids were right that i am ugly, i am not good enough, everyones lying when they tell me im pretty. i got my braces off, i have long blonde hair and i dont have acne but i still feel like im not pretty enough =( how can i get over this and revover from the bullying?

Answer 1

You should spend time with people a bit older than you, so you can expand your vision of the possibilities in life.

Answer 2

You shouldn't punish yourself like this. People at young ages are very immature and judgmental. Instead of using up time and energy feeling bad about the negative things that happened, you should look at the positive side of yourself and what you have accomplished. Also, at your age, I'm pretty sure there are a lot more things that you can learn and improve on to make yourself become a strong individual. The past is the past, I'm sure you can make yourself a better future and meet better people.
