Answers:
Well, I can tell you what worked for me. Having a strong christian faith helped me realize my self worth, to see how much Jesus loves me, that he would suffer and die on the cross for mine and everyone else's salvation. Being athletic and involved in sports helps boost girl's self esteem. Getting good grades helps too, because you see that its important to have brains, not just looks. Make goals and achieve them, that will boost your self esteem. Some goals could be run a race (5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon), learn to cook, help out in your community. Being a runner has definitely changed my outlook on my body and looks. Stop comparing yourself to other girls in school because honestly, you won't even remember their names when you get out. I haven't seen anyone from highschool since I've been in highschool, and that was in 1999. Focus on what you like to do, and be good at it. I hope you learn to love yourself, and get that confidence.

That is a tough one. I was the same way at 16. You need to find a quality you LIKE about yourself, and concentrate on that quality. If you have nice eyes, just think of how many people don't have eyes so nice. Find ONE good quality and try to appreciate that quality. Also, if you are NICE on the inside, that counts for more than the way anyone looks on the outside. Remember that.

Because if you do do all that stuff to you, in todays age, that just makes your pretty go away. The thing about being self consious, is that it is not a bad thing. There are different types of self consious. Bad and good basically. There is confident and chicken consious. The trick in switching your mindset is in your outlook upon the world and upon yourself. You gotta have a "you" an identity or several identities. And you have to believe that each of your identities are part of a whole. This is finding out who you are. When you do that and you like who you are, you dont have to care what the girls think. You can now be proud. And when you look at other girls, dont think that they are judging you with good judgment, (people rarely judge fairly, especially girls and girls) just know that they are envious of you because you have the confidence that they dont. you have the knowledge.good luck
read "The Power of Positive Thinking"by Norman Vincent Peale.This is a life changing book,and don't be so hard on yourself,my mother always said pretty is as pretty does.Which means that it's more important to be pretty on the inside than the outside.

Become a guy.My wife is the same way, so don't expect for it to get a whole lot better. A few things you can do though, is understand that you are a wonderful person. If you believe that, and believe in yourself, that will help. Also, sourround yourself with people that lift you up, not pull you down. Do you have friends that say you are ugly, or your parents told you that? I'm sure you are a beautiful person, stop beating yourself up, and live your life. You will miss out on so much fun in your life, if you let this destroy you. Also, understand that no one is truely happy with their looks, especially when they are young. Women who weigh 80 pounds still throw up to get thinner, don't let that happen to you, love yourself and all is good.
start over.. dont go cold turkey. change all your make up to natural looking shades. start writing a novel or journal.
Any easy ways to get rid of a soar back?!?
It's all part of bieng 16. You would be surprised if you could live the life of a girl your age that you consider as really pretty. Most everyone feels they are flawed in some way. Acceptance take awhile but it does come. Take a look around not all the girls that are popular are beautiful. But they have confidence. But its alot easier to listen to people tell you that you should have confidence than to actually feel that way. It's something that you have to find inside yourself. I don't consider myself as beautiful but when i look through my husbands eyes i do.Is Laser eye surgery worth it? and can I Please get some feedback on the cost?
Wear minimum make-up and wear your hair in a pony-tail for one day and really pay attention to how people will talk to you and I bet you will be surprised at how many people will compliment you on your appearance. Also stop looking at fashion magazines! All they do is make you think that you don't measure up. Who do you hang out with for friends? Are they really conscience of their appearance and think that is all that is important? If so, ditch them and find better friends. I bet you are very lovely stop worrying about what other people think and be yourself, that makes you more lovely anyways than fake people.More Questions and Answers
