In high school, there's no guarantee your not going to get bullied. Or teased. Or punched.
For dorks like us, there's always one flaw. Those perfect girls you see--ones with flawless blonde hair and model-ready bodies--guess what? They won't be like that forever. You have to learn to accept your flaws; talents, thoughts, reasons, feelings...all of it. You were born for a reason and you feel that way or can do something for a reason. Why would you be thinking it if there wasn't a reason behind it?
People need to stop judging others. The biggest mistakes in the whole world are a) taking something for granted or taking advantage of it and b) judging a book by its cover and c) thinking that the earth is flat WERE NOT IN THE FIRST DIMENSION TERD BLOSSOMS IM PRETTY SURE WE ARE 3D...
When someone says "your ugly" or "no one likes u" it just means this: "I don't feel good about my body image right now (even though I AM totally flawless) so I'm going to make you feel bad about your body image so we can feel the same." Or "I think I look a whole lot better than you and you need to know that."
But really, it isn't how you look on the outside. It's how you look on the inside. Whether your fat, skinny, acne covered, weird, talentless, lonely, depressed, whatever--it's all normal. I knew a girl once who had braces and glasses and acne and when she came out of high school she ditched the braces, got contacts, and started using Proactive. (Trust me, if you don't want a pizza face you should be using some kind of face wash and exfoliate like cetaphil or xout, because I use those and I have a clear face) And the girl I used to know looks like a model now. Actually, she kinda looks now like a girl that used to bully me in high school...hmmm...wonder what SHE looks like now.
Believe me, if someone bullies you, don't get mad about it. It makes the bully feel better about themselves, usually because something bad is happening to them. That might not always be the case. You have to stand up for yourself or anyone who is being bullied and be the better person. That makes you even more better than a person who puts labels on you.
Sometimes when people are bullied, they remember that person for a long, long time. Have you ever seen that commercial for DirecTV where that guy was in jail for false fraud and thought about the guy who set him up for years? It's like that. You will remember the person who bullied you or you won't. You might keep a list of the people who bullied you years ago and want to kill them when you get older, or you (thankfully) wont. It's best to just ignore homicidal thoughts, because before you get to fulfill your dreams of killing someone you might just end up in an insane asylum!
The point is--if you've ever listened to comforting music about loving yourself or movies or tv or even a book, it's making you feel better about yourself and that's great. Sooner or later your body is going to grow and get bigger or smaller or whatever it decides to do, but you can't change that. Unless your rich and pay for plastic surgery, your stuck with what you got. I'm not so skinny myself, I'm not overweight but I'm not underweight, either. But I don't have to impress anyone, I don't have to act like someone that I'm not. I can be myself around my friends, I can show them the worst of me and the best of me (haha) and they won't care. That's how everyone should feel. But sadly, not everyone does.
Make it happy. Lend a hand, "one mans trash is another mans treasure." "Karma is a biotch." I could quote quotes all day.
