It all started WAYYYY back in the 5th grade. I got glasses. People at first pretended to like them,then they started whispering,grinning,laughing,mocking. More specificly,two boys. They mocked me for everything. Bad answers on tests,appearance,questions,jokes,and actions. Want more specific? One called me ugly,a "woolly mammoth". Another called me gay. Note that I am not gay but straight. It all started because of these stupid glasses and I can't take it anymore. At home,whenever I get bad grades or do anything the least bit of annoying,I get yelled at until a break down furiously in tears and yells. My mom called me a spoiled brat and said she wanted to slap me.My dad is the only supportive person in the family,yet the rest of my family despises him for not having a job. He can't help it. I just want to sink into the ground and stay there. I don't want to show my apparently ugly face. What should I do? :c
Note:I am currently 19 and this is still happening.
I'm also a Christian. cx

you're not ugly. I promise you. look at things the way you will look at them twenty years from now when you will be independent and strong, and basically done with school. twenty years from now you'll laugh at how silly you were. because you overcared about silly people and actually believed that you are ugly. no girl in this entire world is ugly, no guy is for that matter too. I don't say that because im so nice, I hate nice people they piss me off, I say this because I honestly never looked at a person and thought "yuck". even if I did, a couple of days later she comes in with a little makeup and I become guilty because I was being so judgemental and the person turned out to be so pretty.
buy another pair of glasses if u want, but glasses actually look nice, wear makeup if you want, make sure that these gossips are real not made up by your inconfidence. and even if they were, don't give a fucking damn

Dear Lexee, You are not ugly! I have been wearing glasses now for over 5 years. I honestly think that glasses are cool as more and more people are starting to wear them and most people just wear them for fun. If you really feel insecure about them then maybe trying contacts could help? I also think that it is a great idea to talk to someone you trust, ( maybe your dad), and explain to him how you have been feeling. Chances are that he will have great advice on how to fix things! I know you may hear this a lot but you need to remember that looks aren't everything. As long as you stay true to yourself then I think your doing everything right! And maybe your "friends" aren't really friends. They should be helping you deal with this and they should be right by your side every step of the way! Just please remember that you are beautiful on the inside and out and keep telling yourself that this isn't how people should be treating you and that you don't deserve this!

Oh man girl, I feel your pain. Life can most certainly be full of burdens, eh? But you know what's awesome? None of those terrible things that you mentioned have to be a part of your life anymore. This world will offer you tons of answers on how to fix your problems. But here's something I think you can agree with: people aren't always right. I mean, a lot of the time people are wrong. But Jesus, he is always right. And he loves you so, so much. Thousands of years ago, the son of God came down to earth just to die in your place. He died to earase your sins, and he would have died even if you were the only sinner on the planet. He knows how beautiful you truly are. He died so that you could experience true freedom and genuine peace with who you are and just life in general. He's ALL that will ever satisfy that aching pit of nothingness deep within you. But the best news of all is, since HE died for you, you can become fully paid for. Jesus paid the price for you to go to heaven already. You don't have to be good to get there. But you are gonna have to make one HUGE sacrifice. You're gonna have to completely surrender your life to him. I know, it sounds dumb probably. But girl, if you really want to get out of this, then you really gotta know the truth. Faith in Jesus Christ is freedom.
