Braces and glasses make me feel so ugly; teentalk.


Byline: LINDSAY COCHRANE

QI'M really, really ugly. I wear glasses, I have braces See curly brace.  and my skin is really bad. I can hardly even look at myself in the mirror.

My mum says that I'm beautiful, but quite frankly, she's not much of a looker either.

I'm doomed.

All of the popular kids at school look at me like I'm a piece of dirt, and I just feel horrible all of the time.

I do have a few friends, I wish I could get plastic surgery or something, because some days I feel like I'd be better off dead. I'm 13.

AI'M not going to tell you that looks don't matter.We all know that they shouldn't, but to so many they do.

There's no need to resort to plastic surgery, especially not at your age. Things will get better.

Braces come off and leave brilliant straight teeth behind them - trust me, I had a year and a half of a mouthful of metal - and you can ask your mum if she'd think about letting you get contact lenses contact lenses contact nplverres mpl de contact

As for your skin, go and see your doctor. He or she will be able to recommend products or even get you a special prescription.
