I'm really tired of being called ugly and fat and whatever variation of those two words exist in the English language. I expected that my senior year of high school would be better; I have some new clothes, I have a car, I have a few classes with my even fewer friends. But still, I can't escape the male population and they take every opportunity to remind me of my very lowly, very worthless place in society, in school or otherwise.

I'm at my limit. Even losing 7lbs did absolutely nothing to improve my very slight chance of being attractive. I'm 149—I'm out of the 150's, which I thought would make some difference, but obviously it did nothing. I'm still as ugly in the face as before, but being skinnier should've helped me socially...well, of course I was wrong. That's what happens when you're optimistic and motivated to change. It blows up in your face, shits all over you. And then what do I have left? Nothing.

I'd rather be dead. Honestly.

Why do you care what they think? I'm not familiar with the American Education System but I would assume senior year means you're leaving soon so ignore it until then, there's nothing else you can do, douches will be douches.

Because people are all around me. I can't live without them. So when the majority of the males at school make efforts to show me how ugly I am, I can't help but listen and take into account what they're saying. I doubt it'll be any different in college. Why do I bother?

To be honest, I think there are a lot worse things in life than people calling you ugly, ugly is perspective, not everybody will find you ugly, I don't find you ugly. People mature as they get older generally, they will realise that it's unacceptable to do things like that in the future hopefully, ignore it. There is nothing else I can suggest.
You think I don't get called ugly/a loser/all that shit? Everybody does at some point but they will only do it if it gets a reaction out of you, I don't care about people so I don't react to it so they eventually shut up. It's pretty simple.

I don't usually make any indication that it bothers me. People say it even in passing. It hurts inside because I know they're right, but I normally don't say anything.

I care what people say...if I ever want a date I have to listen to what guys say. Sadly it isn't anything good in regards to my attractiveness. Oh well.

Well I obviously can't help then.

I wish I didn't have to have these problems. Most girls don't look like me, so they have no reason to be called ugly. I'm sure some of them are, but if they'd just look at themselves they'd know it isn't true. At least with me I know where I stand. It just makes me sad is all.

It might be. Depends on what college you attend.

I don't think any college would be different. I think men will always think of me as ugly and unappealing. It's just human nature I suppose...should I even bother with myself? Probably not.

You clearly have some problems with self-value. You need to stop thinking bad of yourself and putting yourself down. I may be remembering incorrectly but I remember you saying that you're a Christian I think, therefore surely you're made in God's image and therefore perfect? (I'm not Christian by the way, I just like to learn about these things)
