you're creating a correlation where there is none. It's mostly a matter of luck and maintenance.
Getting prettier or uglier is not predetermined. Sometimes a girl who was "ugly" gets more attractive as she turns into a teen or in her 20s. I think I am much more attractive in my 20s than I was in my early teens. But part of this is just luck and effort. I was never ugly per se, but as a kid I was chubby and I didn't have good teeth, and I also had awkward glasses at a point.
As I got older, (I did go through a bad hair phase and a bad makeup phase and an overtweezing my eyebrows phase) I slimmed out and grew curves in the right places instead. Plus I exercise to keep my weight down.
As long as you don't have a really ugly face, keeping your eyebrows shaped normally, the aftermath of braces, having a nice haircut, using some makeup the right way, contact lenses, controlling your weight, and just growing into an adult face, is really what you are thinking when "ugly people turn pretty"
There are a lot of things that make a kid look bad even if she isn't ugly because they are awkward. Example, bad hair, extra weight, ugly glasses, pre-braces teeth.
These are more fixable things, not your genetic makeup, and if they are taken care of the person is often quite decent looking underneath.
Ugly and "ugly duckling phase" are two different things. A lot of awkward looking kids are just in the ugly duckling phase, which is looking awkward as a preteen, learning how to fix yourself as a teen with various experimentations, and then learning how to look pretty as you outgrow your awkward stage.
One thing I will say is that the pretty people can get ugly but this is probably from "letting themselves go" more than anything. Getting fat, getting gray, and aging poorly, which is partially genetic but bad habits from the youth like smoking, excess alcohol, sun, drugs, etc will take part in this too. But this happens later in life, not from preteen to teen.
I can't speak for the people who were pretty in middle school because I wasn't one of them...
But my looks have definitely improved a lot since middle school (maybe it's just confidence?) and I know quite a few other people who are the same. I think it's because in high school people tend to develop their own personality (most of them anyway) and that affects how they look.
As for pretty people becoming ugly, maybe, because the "pretty popular" clique in my middle school all ended up as bums and bimbos with ugly personalities. It was a long time ago, though, so they don't cross my mind often.
Everyone is different. Some are ugly ducklings who grow into their looks, others are pretty people who get even better looking, and the last are those who don't maintain their looks or have bad genetics and grow less attractive. Lastly, some ugly people stay ugly. So basically, no. What you're asking is not true at all.
Sometimes, because those people get to be successful and are able to fix their flaws as they get older. It's also a matter of the body maturing, someare late bloomers, etc.
I don't think that's the case.
Are you worried you won't be as attractive in a few years? Don't worry about that!

In some cases it's true but in most it isn't. A lot of times the ugly duckling girls have things to fix such as being overweight, having acne, crooked teeth, bad style or baby weight to lose. But it doesn't happen too often.
But applying what you said, no, it's not true.
Well, I've always thought the same thing. lol
My mom and dad. My mom was beautiful when she was younger and my dad was extremely ugly. Well, now my mom is the less attractive one and my dad is the more attractive one.
I was definitely ugly when I was younger. I think I'm starting to grow into my looks now though.
This is true for me.
When I was in my teens I didn't like how I looked but after about age 19 I started to like what I look like.
Ironic thing is I look the same.
I've looked the same since I was born but my mind set is now different.
Depends, some people get better with age and some worse. It can also come with confidence, and the way you carry yourself, you become more comfortable with your skin ( I think) as you mature.
We have to wait for the future, to see what will become of us :) Look at some pictures of famous people young and old and you might see what your looking for.
