Have you ever been insulted about your looks?

I don't know how to respond when people say things that nice to me :P I use the same DP everywhere. Thank youuu =D

not really...i'm blessed with my looks + personality. Lucky me.

I used to be insulted for the fact I dye my hair ginger and have a gap in my teeth when I was at secondary school. As soon as I got to college though, those were the two main things I was complimented on.

All my life i've been called ugly pretty much! It's taken all my self confidence, and I always believed and still do believe what people tell me. There are so many occasions, but i'll say a few

-One time when I was shopping with my friend (she's a bit different to me as in she's pretty and not as shy as me), and as we came to the bustop we sat down and a bus was approaching. All I heard was banging on the windows on the top deck, and about 5 boys, were banging on the window and shouting out, "OI YOU YOU'RE UGLY/ BUTTERS" (a london slang for really ugly). My friend thought it was her and pointed at herself in confusion and they shouted out "NO THAT GIRL NEXT TO YOU" and the bus went past. Made me feel like poo, cause I felt ugly next to my friend anyway! But after the bus went a middle aged man said to me "They have no idea what they're talking about, you're a very fine woman, don't listent to them" I guess that cheered me up

-My cousin came from France to stay with us, and she doesn't speak english, only knows a few words. Anyways, there was a park near our house, and I wasn;t really fond of it because people our age always hung around there, and I hate hanging around with people my age! Anyways we went to play because she insisted, and as we left, and boy on a bike came up to me, and said "um my friend said you two really ugly". I never felt so embarrassed, I just put my head down and kept walking home. What made it worse was that my cousin kept asking, what he said but i made something up.

-I put a picture on facebook, which I hate doing, because I start pointing out flaws! Anyways I got a decent amount of likes, and even a boy liked it! (that never happened, because I usually was too shy to speak to or add boys on facebook) and out of no where a boy i knew from school commented 'fat lips' and ive never felt worse about my lips! I have full lips and loads of people tell me i'm lucky, but ive grown to hate my lips


These experiences and many others have forced me to believe that I am truly ugly, despite the countless amount of people who tell me I'm not. I hate speaking to boys because i automatically think they are judging me or are trying to avoid me, its ruined my life :/ Before you call someone ugly, think!

Maybe looks but definitely not personality.

I have been called names for as long as I can remember.

From around the age of five up to the present day, people say "Oh look at him he's so dark, I wouldn't be able to see him in the dark" and comments like "You're mum must be an ape because how can you be so dark skinned". This knocked my confidence a lot, I mean it makes you not want to be you.

In Year 7 and 8, I was bullied physically. I would be dragged, pushed, punched, kicked, and I've even had things stolen off of me. I don't know why they used to do it, I was just really, really quiet and I just didn't fight back. They would say things like "Oi, gay boy come here" or "Oi, monkey come here". Then they would say things about me and my family, probably would steal my drink. I used to have an Oasis bottle with me and they would steal it and drink it, then after that they might leave some left and throw that on me, or they would just steal the bottle, open the lid and throw it really high in the air.

When we had PE I would change and go and do the subject, however our school teachers were **** and people used to come into the changing rooms and take peoples things. I have had countless amounts of wallets, shirts and ties replaced. They would hide my things somewhere and make me search for it.

I have had to replace blazers, shirts and jumpers because they would sometimes push me to the ground and my clothes would rip after constant abuse. I would have stains on my clothes near enough everyday, but my parents asked me why are the clothes dirty, it's not muddy today? and I used to say I fell over.

And then to top it all off, I have been bullied about my mental health problem. Have been called nutter, psycho, killer, rapist, and I've even had people saying move away, I think you'll do something to me. It just shows how considerate people are.

I think this has happened because of me. I mean if I wasn't the way I am this would never happen. These bullies took everything I really wanted; academic success and a good life. I was academically excelling all my peers in Year 7/6, gradually the bullying took its toll and I just gave up on everything. I hated my school from day one, and, unfortunately, my childhood has been horrible.

I've been so close to picking up the bottle. The only thing that is stopping me from doing so, is the fact that my uncles and my dad were alcoholics and that I know what will happen if I just constantly drink.

Wow. Even my bullying doesn't live up to that. I don't know how anyone can cope with that. Some people especially children can be filled with such hate and abusive comments, its unbelievable. So sad to hear. Please don't give up because you would be letting them win. I'm sure your beautiful inside & outside.
