Answer 1

Sweet heat it's you that controls your mood. If u say that u look bad even when u don't it will seem to u that you do. Try saying to ur self I good there is nothing wrong with me. Sometimes the people that are around you may make you feel bad. Always put a smile on your face and don't let no one see how u feel, and soon ur mood will change. Get a book on confidence and self esteem.Good luck.

This is gonna sound really simple but it works:

Look in the mirror - everyday - get dressed in front of it, moisturize in front of it, do your hair/make up infront of it.

Soon you'll get used to how your body looks, which will lead to you being comfortable with it which will make you confident about it! : )

Thats a hard thing to adjust to.  I am an overweight male, I have been for all my life.  When i was younger between birth and 12yrs, I was very insecure with my EVERYTHING.  As I grew older I began to realize that I am me.  And no matter what happens I will still be ME.  People tend to judge people on how they carry themselves.  I began to not even care what other people thought.  Now I have to hoenstly say I am happier than ever.

Answer 5

u obviously have some very good friends u should take notice of them u have 2 stop putting urself down . once u start liking urself and feeling more confident this will make u look more radiant  and noticable in a nice way

Be confident and work what you got! your a teen-we all have self esteem issues but on those days just remember how beautiful you really are. we are our worst critics in life, don't  be so hard on yourself. your friends would not lie to you, ( i know you might be thinking: well they wouldn't say i look terrible anyways!) but hey, everyone has their bad hair days and what not! its OK
