It pays to be pretty, starting in high school, research says

[JDPriestly]

6. Do you think that "the beatiful people" think they are beautiful?

I think that especially young women all think they are ugly.

I am older and when I look at my pictures when I was young and thought I was hopelessly ugly, I see a rather attractive young woman. It is shocking to me because I really thought I was very plain.

I had a friend about my age. I thought she was absolutely beautiful. One day I found an old picture of the two of us together. We looked very much alike. It would have been hard to say which of us was prettier.

I can't identify with what I looked like when I was young.

What a waste of your youth if you always think the others are more attractive than yourself. My advice is to think more about others than about yourself, and other people will find you attractive. That's what I think based on my experience.

Don't judge yourself too harshly. You are probably better looking than you think. I don't mean this personally in any derogatory way about you, penndragon69. I just mean that for everyone out there. Don't worry about whether you are as goodlooking as you need to be. Just care about others.
