Ugliness

Mmm kay, so I thought that when I got into high school the bullying wouldn't be so bad.. and come to find out it gets worse. Back in middle school people would call me ugly or a bad name at least once a week. In high school lets see.. its up to four times a week. And yesterday at a marching band competition one of my fellow marching band mates called me ugly. It hurt me so much, for some reason I actually thought that maybe since marching band is for the outcasts, just maybe people would accept each other. I thought that we were kind of like a family. We accept each other, we can be ourselves, because we have each other's backs. It hurt me so much.. I don't know, one day I had decided to dress myself up. I thought I looked great, I go to school get some compliments, I'm feeling so great, on cloud nine right? Then I hear a girl from one of my classes I'm not sure who, but she had said "Oh my gosh, don't you think she's trying to hard? I mean she looks like a wanna be whore. I don't understand why she even tries." And I don't even know why I try anymore.
Why can't people just get over themselves c'mon.
I just had this long discussion with my mom about not listening to them and how they just think that they're ugly themselves.. blah blah blah stuff to help you out. The thing is is that it didn't really help me. It's not going to change the way I think about these people. I can honestly say that I hate anyone who has ever brought me down.. yeah I hate them. Sorry just being honest. I hate them because their comments and nasty names stay with me. Like when I'm done getting ready to go somewhere and I look in the mirror all the comments flood into my mind. "You're never going to be pretty" "Why try, you can't change your ugly face." "You're so over weight its disgusting" (funny because I was skinnier than the girl who said that to me, just sayen) "I feel sorry for any guy who will ever go out with you, because they'll have to deal with your looks everyday. I mean come on eww." "How can someone love you, you're so.. you. It's disgusting" Things like that.
So my mom told me to look into the mirror every morning and say "You are beautiful. You, are, beautiful." at least ten times. I'm planning on doing it, hopefully it will help me out. And also I have a new way of dealing with all these negative comments. When ever someone tells me that I'm ugly or something along those lines, I'm just going to think "Screw You!" I think it will help. I challenge you guys to do the same as me. Tell yourself that you are beautiful every morning, look at yourself in the mirror, really look at yourself, and say that you ARE beautiful.
Hopefully I will post some helpful advice and stuff like that. I hope I helped someone. I'd really appreciate it if you would leave comments.

  1. From your post, I get the impression that it's girls that are saying this. Not boys. Not that it changes anything, but when you go to a new school, there is a typical event that takes place, called "pecking order." It's how you find your place where you fit in, and how you find your true friends and whom to avoid. I went through something similar in school. For me it started in the sixth grade. I tried everything to "fit in" and to "impress" others and now that I look back I realize that it only made it worse. If I had just "been myself" then eventually I would have found my true friends sooner. We all go through it. Some of us go through more of it than others, but to some degree we all do. Find out what works for you. Those individuals that put you down and talk trash do not care enough about you to lift you up, so don't even pay attention to them. Their opinions don't matter because they don't know you - so they can't judge. You are part of our family which means it's impossible for you to be ugly. You cannot be anything but beautiful. I know it's not the same thing coming from family, or a grown-up, but also know that we love you, we know who you are inside, and we are all proud of you. Hang in there. Things WILL get better!

  3. Most the time when people say rude/evil things about you it is because they envy you. I know you may not believe it, but honestly that has to be the case here. There is no way ANYONE could call you ugly! Just remember that you KNOW who you are, you are a daughter of God. Because you know this you know how special that makes you! And how beautiful you are! It hurts my heart to hear people be so mean to others, if only they really understood who THEY were... Love you lady, I think you are too cute!!!
