I was sometimes called ugly at school/college. someone kept telling me i looked like a dog - or sometimes a guy. I'm now at uni, i wear nice clothes, and do my make-up and hair nicely pluck eyebrows, and i think that i'm not actually all that bad to look at. infact i am sometimes compliemented on the way i look. so when someone, even lots of people call you ugly (and there were a lot of mean boys in my class) it doesn't mean its true. It means they're ********s with a image in their small brains about how a girl, or you, SHOULD look - to please the appae=rently.
whenever i feel down about the way i look, i change my hairstyle - dye it or cut it, buy a new outfit and do my make-up differently.
