So many people these days have problems with their body image, and I want you to know that if that sounds like you, you aren't alone! All types of people can feel bad about the way they look - it isn't just girls either. Try to remember that there are other people who feel the same way you do, and that even though we may feel like we don't look perfect, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. No matter what you look like, there will always be people that can see your beauty - both inside and out!

"People tell me I'm not beautiful."
If people are calling you names and saying you aren't beautiful, then they are being rude and inappropriate. They do not have the right to tell you how to feel, and if they can't see your worth, then it might be best to stop talking to them. If a friend makes you feel bad about yourself, are they really a friend?

"How can I feel better about myself?"
Keep reminding yourself of your beauty. Try to find it in small parts of yourself at first, and build up to seeing yourself as beatiful as a whole! Try surrounding yourself with people who believe in you and can see your beauty. When you hear those negative thoughts popping into your mind, try talking back to them - this can be really useful because it lets you prove to yourself that you have worth and that you deserve kind thoughts about your body!
