Why did she have to say that...

[TheDuckCrew]

i can even feel myself changing after all of this. i was so depressed and down and i could hardly bring myself to smile. now i'm so much happier and i noticed today some of my sister's friends that used to be really mean to her. i always thought they were pretty, but when i looked at them today, i could see their ugliness from the inside shining through. they now look like some of the ugliest people and their faces always look like they are mean and about to scream and get in a fight. they are just miserable. i also noticed the girls that are pretty and nice in the higher grades looked much prettier. same with guys, ones i thought were attractive now look ugly because of their personalities. others look like the fell from heaven and are the sweetest people alive. THANK YOU EVERYBODY!! you have all made a huge difference in my life and i am so glad. thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Glad you are feeling better, keep your chin up. That Scottish woman who sang on the talent show sure got a crappy reception yet once she sang it was a whole different tune from everyone who based their thoughts and opinions on her looks!

It's been a long time since I was in high school and funny thing is to see what some of the mean people ended up to be years later on 'classmates' and facebook! Looosers!

As a mother of a 16yo girl, here's what I think: girls that say/act/do mean things are jealous as heck of you. They know deep down that you are above them and will be the one who perseveres and triumphs over their pettiness. I'm new here, but if your pic is accurate, sweetie you dont have a thing to worry about. TRUST us older hens on this!!

I agree..!! One day you will come into your own and it may not even be about beauty but girl...you are VERY pretty. Don't ever let someone let you think you aren't. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission" It's true! Even my husband has said, yeah, pretty girls get all the looks but sometimes that doesn't even work for them when they open their mouth! Personality and values speak louder...maybe not in high school, but that is such a brief phase of your life...I do daycare and the mean girl behavior starts so young. I'm sorry you are going through this. But I think you are strong enough to survive it! And hear the wisdom
on this website...we have all been there one way or another. Hang in there girl!
Hugs, Donna

You must realize that people who put others down usually do so to elevate themselves, and they mostly do it to people they are jealous of. Those people are most likely jealous of you because you have more going for you than they do. You are gorgeous inside and out. Those people aren't important so don't worry about what they think. Also, when it stops bothering you, they won't find it nearly as entertaining and will probably stop.

Is that you in your avatar? If so, you are extremely pretty.
