What Do I Say?

man teenage boys were the most annoying for me as well. I remember this one boy who kept asking me why I wore the same jeans two days in a row and asked if I didn't shower. It's JEANS they don't need to be washed for at least a week! Don't worry about them. When you guys are 10 years older, you guys will be more focused on your careers than what someone looks like. There's much more significant problems in the world like cancer and war, so people who make fun of something like someone's appearance is pretty stupid.

When I feel like people disrespect me because of my appearance, I have music to back me up because I really love playing the piano, violin and guitar, and I feel really happy when I'm playing them. Playing them gives me self confidence because when I hear myself play, I'm like wow, someone like me can produce such wonderful music. If you can't find anything good about yourself appearance-wise, try art, music, sports, or other talents that you may have!

My best advice is to ignore those boys. Believe me, honey, I've been there. It gets you nowhere to dwell on what they have to say. I know it's hard, but you should try and ignore them. Most likely, they're just trying to get a reaction out of you, so if you don't give them the reaction, they'll leave you alone. I've got tons of imperfections and flaws, all of which could be singled out and picked on. However, I've picked out some things about myself that I really like and feel confident about and I try to put emphasis on them. People should not be judging you at all, but if they're going to (and you know they will), you might as well show them your best side. After that, just ignore them. I strongly suggest you not say anything to those rude boys. Hope this helps somewhat and you can move on and realize what a beautiful young woman you really are :)
