Tips from our Readers
The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.
- A tip I learned is if you respect yourself, others will respect you too. If you think you are pretty and act confident, others will notice that and feel the same way too.
- Talking to a parent, sibling, or even a friend when you're feeling like you aren't pretty is very helpful. Don't bottle stuff up because it only makes it worse.
