Mom's favorite

What your mom said was not OK in the least, but people say stupid crap when they get angry. Your mom DOES love you, she just isn’t sure how to show it the right way. Like with the answers above, you should find someone to talk to - letting it all out makes all the difference, believe me!

I know where you are coming from when you say you think you are too ugly to have a boyfriend. I felt the same way. I never had a boyfriend until this last year and I’m 19! The first one didnt work out, and I couldn’t understand why no one loved me like that. A friend recently told me that I’m not the kind of girl that guys mess around with, I’m the kind they marry - she told me to just stop looking for guys and stop worrying.

I did just that, and what do you know? An AMAZING guy showed up in my life that actually cares about me and thinks I’m beautiful just the way I am.

Just you wait, things always get worse before they get better as they say. Great things are coming to you, and they will happen when you least expect it. Don’t live for anyone but yourself and don’t change yourself for someone else’s sake. Hurting yourself will not solve anything - you are just running away from your problems. I used to think that it might be better if I wasn’t around, but then I remembered that there are people out there that have it much worse than me. So hang in there! I promise it gets better. Let me know if you want to talk - I can’t be biased since I don’t know you after all.

NO, but you need someone to talk too and find out what you can do to make the situation better. I suggest opening up to someone you trust (like a friend or an older adult ex.:Aunt, teacher) and if possible getting help from someone who knows where your coming from (ex.: school counselor, social worker, psychologist). I’m sure your Mom and sister love you just the way you are, they might just not be able to tell you the way you want them too. Sometimes people say stupid things when they are angry. Either way, all this will pass and you’ll be independent and have your own life soon enough. So don’t be going and doing something stupid that will ruin all the good stuff that’s coming your way.
