Question

Answer 1

It is so-o-o-o-o hard to do, but become the best "you" you can be; learn about nutrition & make exercise part of your life (not just to get a better figure, but it's just a good lifestyle change for everyone); personal grooming is more important than the makeup thing so choose a hairstyle that you like and is easy for you to keep up (I'm not implying that you do not now practice good grooming : )  Learn how to do something well, read (and I agree that the Bible is great - God does love you!)do the best you can in school, journal. Be nice to everyone, smile.  Actually, there's nothing wrong with being more on the quiet/shy side than the loud/obnoxious side.  And above all Don't let other people bring you down!  High school doesn't last forever (even though it seems to!)  

Answer 2

I understand....hugs!   Start by doing something good for yourself.  Take some time for YOU every day to keep your mind and body healthy.  I found that walking daily helped my mind feel happy and I had more self confidence as I felt my body get more toned.  Feeling your body get in shape give a huge boost to self esteem.  It's a start and it's a healthy.  Stick to your guns and you will be walking with your head held high.  Even if it's just 15 minutes to start and build more each day until it's a part of your daily.  It's good- feel -food for your brain and body.  Kinda like gas for your car.  Good luck and always Smile!!!  

Answer 3

I think if you spend too much time listening to negative thoughts they have a funny way of coming true.  What I've found is that I try to keep myself busy doing the things I like.  Get involved with sports,hobbies,etc.  If your happy with what your doing people will look at you differently and you will feel more confident about yourself.  And people may not have the best figures or looks. But its the way you dress and carry yourself affects whether people think about your appearance.

Chins up, stick it out, better times will come.......

Answer 5

What?  Please stop now.  Of course you are pretty.  You are an attractive young woman.  I only wish I had a pic of you.  Not only to prove how right I am but to have something to drool over. lol.  I am so sorry bout that last comment.  You know why you are lacking in confidence?  You are looking only in 2D.  You need to look beyond your incredibly s**y look and peer inside of yourself.  People sometimes tell me that they can peak into a person's soul through their eyes.  And you know what I can tell looking into your's?  Yeah,I know I can't really do this,But please play along.  In your eyes,I see a young precious woman who doubts her own self-worth.  Someone who has it all but sees nothing.  Your pain and sorrow clouds these jewels of talent.  You are unique,You are special.  If I could only say something or do something to make that pain and sorrow vanish like a magician.  Then you just might see the vast array of different traits and talents which make you awesome,Which make you shine above all the rest.  You are beautiful not just because you are,But because I know you are.  Never have I ever lied to you or stretched the truth.  My strength is in my honesty.  I always want to be honest with you.  If you ever and I mean ever need a confidence-booster,I could be that man.  I'd do just about anything for a friend of mine.  I hope this answer pleases you.  I wouldn't want to see an ounce of pain in your eyes.  You are so sweet and adorable.  This has been David.  You have a goodnight,Hon.  Bye for now.

Answer 8

list the things you DO like about yourself on your mirror. smart, nice, caring, good at ......, compassionate, pretty eyes, even if you just like your hair, whatever, and repeat that to yourself out loud every day. also, if there are things youdon'tt like about yourself, your figure, for one, then do what you can to change that. research how to grow veggies and do it! and eat them! or walk to school, or ride a bike to and from school. or if you already do that, try to get there a minute faster everyday, and push yourself. look around your school, and find someone who is sitting by themselves.... go and sit with them and say " Hi,I'mm (your name here), can I sit with you?" Find out what they like to do, and see if you have anything in common. look for more people sitting by themselves, and invite them to sit with you guys. love you for who you are, and keep remembering why (the list of things) you are special and unique.... focus on that and you'll be fine. maybe even look up the Dove self Esteem Workshop online and see if there any near you, or if there's anything you can do online...=-)
