Well, when guys say that around that age, I think it's to hide the fact that they like you and make it not seem so obvious while trying to appear cool. Guys around elementary and middle school are still very young and don't really know how to express themselves or their emotions very well, and so they say things that can be or come off as really mean just to get a girl to notice them. Or it could be that they are immature jerks who like picking on girls.

Yeah, happened to me too in elementary school and middle school. The same boys who called me ugly also ended up sheepishly handing me valentines. They get better by high school, haha.
it is a form of sarcasm, and at the more flirtatious ages. guys do it to tease a girl, but most would only do it to a girl that they liked who they were sure knew that she was pretty / that they were joking. It is meant for the girl to interpret it as the guys calling them cute without actually having to say so.

Hi My name is Asia Dodson, i had low esteem because of boys who kept making fun of me and calling chopsticks at middle school and high school but i just realize the only reason they were making fun of me is because they liked me. there was his boy, he was mexican who always kept getting in my face, hitting hard like a dude or hurt my feelings too. So when my classmates said you like him i said no i dont and then when i said no he was sooooo sad but i just never see him like me and he would never confess. But the crazy part is he wanted me to be jealous and i was too. After that he had a girlfriend and they looked like they love each other but he kept messing with me, hitting me and getting in my face for no reason. This boy had anger issues who terrified me the most when i go in the classroom my beats soooooo fast.
I think it's really depends on who the man is that you're speaking of. Some men will do it to lower yourself esteem so that you don't leave them or so that you'll do more for them. Sometimes it could be teasing and a way of flirtation a little childish to me if you ask. Others will say it because they won't see past physical Beauty. In general it's best not to mind comments like that and if they do get to you it's okay to stand up for yourself. All people are beautiful it just takes a little bit to see it sometimes. Learn to love yourself more and positive around you. T
ugly is relative and objective. I wouldn't call a girl ugly if I were flirting with her, that's like one of the things you just don't do.
