Hey rosie and jenny, I hope you're feeling better. I was a really awkward looking teenager when I was younger, then I kind of "bloomed" after my h.S graduation. Then for the longest time, all I cared about was my looks, dating the hottest guys, partying... Etc. But I was never happy. And I dont want you to think that if you considered yourself pretty, it would automatically buy you happiness. I got over that phase of my life, b/c its an empty, almost shallow feeling, and i'm on here because I have a question about my perscription for antidepressents.. Being pretty does not make you happy. Its when you're happy in you're own skin that you will feel the best. You seem like a down-to-earth girl, who is really sweet and has a lot going for her, but you're idea of you're own appearance keeps you from really letting people in.. I could be wrong, this is what i'm gathering. Bottom line, dont let people tell you you arent beautiful... Because if they do, its them who are the real ugly ones
