Am I pretty?

In school I always used to get bullied and called names like 'half-cast' (referring to being both black and white). This wouldn't have been so hurtful if it wasn't for the fact that both my parents had split up when I was 10, and I've been living primarily with my white mother ever since, so I've never really felt black. But the white kids in school always rejected me as they didn't feel I belonged with them, and at the same time I didn't feel like I belonged with the black kids. I was going through a serious identity crisis which culminated in me attempting to take my own life several times.

Now I'm in my twenties and I have no self confidence. People try to tell me I'm pretty but that is not what I see when I look in the mirror. What I see is a fat arse and a black skin. I want to believe my friends but my history has made it difficult to.

So will you guys be honest with me? Am I actually pretty?

Does this still happen at school? In this day and age? It's really hard for Londoners to imagine this sort of stuff being real.

I'd do anything to be as beautiful as you! Swear down! Keep your head high and whenever anyone says something good about you take note, write it down in a book if you have to, then look back on it when you're low, instead of saying no I'm not when people compliment you, say thank you and smile, you'll start believing it soon enough.

I have to imagine you get hit on pretty often, I fail to imagine why guys wouldn't hit on you... Low self esteem isn't pretty though...

What they did is called racism, you don't need to be ashamed because of who you are. Race doesn't determine how good looking you are, but as a person you are beautiful. Be more confident and believe in yourself more. Don't let people bring you down, especially not because of the colour of your skin.
