It's not so much just that, sometimes I think i'm pretty..other times I really feel ugly. I've had people tell me I'm beautiful but believe it or not, I really can't see it. When i look in a mirror I think i'm pretty, but when i take pictures it looks awful. I'd just like to be happy with my appearance and stop worrying about it. When i was younger i was called ugly a lot, and asked why I couldnt look like my sister.

Stop focusing on what you " look like " and on what you can "do. " Make your mind up that you are going to do your very best at anything you touch. Pretty soon the pride you take in your achievements will overcome any thoughts about how good you look to others. The beauty of self worth will outshine any feelings and thoughts about your appearance and your self esteem will soar. Looks fade for everyone, but a job well done can change a life.
