“How can I feel pretty when I’m just so ugly?
I go to an all girl’s school and everybody there is skinny,athletic tall and really pretty.And I’m the complete opposite.
I’m short and ugly and flabby and no matter how hard i try i can’t lose weight.Everyone there has had multiple boyfriends and I haven’t even talked to a guy since primary school.if i had boobs it wouldn’t be as bad but everyone assumes that small boobs mean athletic body,except in my case. Can you Help? Thanks!

Dear Emily,
Here is the thing, at your age, you think that the way you look now is the way you are going to look like forever, but that is so NOT true! I look much prettier now than when I was your age! Some girls talk longer to develop and find their best look. Looking back now at some of the girls I grew up with it is funny to see how they turned out now that we are in our twenties. Many of the girls who were skinny and pretty are now HUGE, and many of the girls that were a little chunky have now lost weight and look amazing!
Now is not the time for you to be focusing on guys anyway. You are in an all girls school so use your time to focus on other things that you are good at and have fun! I think you need some sort of theme or hobby in your life. Something that makes you feel good when you do it. Like a sport, or art, or dance, or music, or even find your own unique style! This will really help you develop a confidence in yourself and your abilities that aren’t based solely on your looks (which don’t last anyways)
Over time, as you start eating better and exercising a little and as time goes by, by the time you are in your twenties you will have lost weight the healthy way and feel great about your looks and your inner self.
So try not to look at your situation like your doomed because over time as you work on you positive attitude and inner confidence (based on things other than your looks) everyone gets old and loses their looks anyway, so why not develop your confidence based on something that will last forever!? So find something you are really good at and put your energy into that rather than worrying about your looks. If you keep comparing yourself to other girls, you will never feel good enough, because there will always be a girl out there that is a little better looking.
