Well for 1 thing...our society is still very cruel, and the media don’t help people like us by showing all these gorgeous thin models and making out this is how we have 2 be. Also bullies have a big affect on the way u feel about your self, they just crush your self confidence completely, so this makes u think no1s going to like you cos of the way u look. And yeah it is whats inside that counts, not the way you look, but not all people see u like that, especially lads - no offence guys lol. No1 is ever truly happy with their looks though, we all just need 2 learn to accept people for who they are, would u rather have a really good looking gf/bf with a sh*t personality, or sum1 with a gr8 personality, but not all that good looking? Whoever chooses the 1st option is just shallow.
