I have to tell you, the way you are being treated is BS. Sorry for the language, I just want you to know you DO NOT deserve to be treated like that, especially by your family. DO NOT listen to them. I grew up never being told anything about my looks. No one every said I was ugly, that must me horrible, but I was never told, not even as a child, that I was pretty, or even cute.
Now I am married to a wonderfull man who tells me on a daily (or even more) basis how beautiful I am. Let me tell you, those girls who are acting this way will have miserable lives, bacause they are basing all of their self-confidence on their appearence and on their friends, both of which will not last. You are basing your self confidence on YOU. And who you become today will make you into a wonderful, intellegent, emotionally stable, tender, beautiful woman, if you dont let them ruin your spirit.
It is hard, I know it is. Cry. It is OK, and it will keep you from building a wall around your beautiful heart. And stay away from them. When they are there, ignore them. Ignore your so-called-friends that are hateful. Find some who understand you.
And, as a last note, you are not ugly. You are quite beautiful, and they are messed up to think they are better then you. I have a wonderful book, called "Captivating". It is a Christion book, but it is about the female spirit, and why every woman longs to be appreciated. It is great. You can find it at a local Library.
