I feel ugly how do I change my self esteem?

[Anonymous]

A day ago I just realized how ugly I am, I mean I'm average looking or a plain Jane but I'll never look like the girls on tumblr or a victoria secret model, this made me very depressed so I was crying at school, at home and now today I don't want to go to school. Yesterday everyone was staring at me because of my hair cut and one guy commented saying that I was always ugly and that I get on his nerves. I've also been rejected by two guys in my Highschool year they didn't say why but I feel like it's because of my apperance, it has to be since they enjoyed being around me. I don't think I can take this much more it really hurts me it's like the majority of Highschool care about appearance first personality second, so I'm giving up on approaching my crush which makes me more depressed because I know that I'm not good enough for him and he already likes someone who is much prettier than me

Please help?

do your best to look your best

try going to the gym, you can lose weight or build muscles if you're skinny

go to a saloon and find a haircut that fits your face shape perfectly

go shopping and try different clothes to see which look best on you (even with low budget you can find great stuff in second hand and outlet shops)

try make up, but be careful not to use too much

wear a perfume that you love

You might not look like a super model, but you can always improve your appearence, and feel better about yourself. You may have body parts that you don't particulary like, but I'm sure you also have body parts that are beautiful.

High school really is just appearances. Notice the prettiest girl can still get a date even though everyone knows she's a bitch. But truthfully not all of us are 10s I'm not and that's fine, instead I fouls on other things like being really funny so that it compensates or distracts from my attractiveness. Or you could try to get a Nicer body to get yourself some atrractive points. It's okay, most people you see don't look like the models or else we'd all be models

Media is giving us false expectations.
I don't look like a model or the so called "hot guys" aswell.
I have been told that I look ugly and what not.
The trick is to not care about shit people you don't really care about say, and only hear what you want to hear.
There are always people who like you for who you are, don't get hurt by those who don't.

The reason people have such good bodies in magazines is because of Photoshop and other editing programs. Don't stress about relationships and such because you still have your whole life ahead of you. Who cares about some guy who's stuck up and likes someone else. He doesn't deserve you if he can't look past beauty.

Ok 1st of all. You gotta change your view of what's beautiful. Yes VS models are beautiful but, do you think they wake up looking like that? Hell no there's lots of crap that goes into that.
Beautiful doesn't mean flawless, the media makes it like that's the only way but, it's not cuz humans have flaws and they are still beautiful. So take those images out of your head and strive to be your beautiful self.
Listen to what lurker said it's good advice. Other than that, it all comes down to confidence. Good luck :)

You're definitely going to have to sit down with yourself, and see your true beauty. Also get over the idea, that you're on this planet to impress anyone. Find things about yourself that make you more than appealing to the eye. Don't wait for gratification from the opposite sex, make sure you're loving you first.

My cousin is a professional phothographer and takes pictures of me all the time. I look beautiful in all of them, but in reality I am quite plain. The point is, all those perfect persons you see in pictures don't look like that in real life.
You should work on your self-confidence though, because it can make you feel and look hot.

If you want to look like a professional model:
- Get a license for Photoshop
- Master Photoshop
- Hire a professional photographer

There, now you look like one... the media and everything is creating wrong expectations.
