    I think the important thing here is to define inner and outer beauty regarding our own thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. What is inner beauty? What do you think are qualities of having inner beauty? It’s a unique concept for each person and can look very different from what society makes us believe beauty really is. It’s important to look at core values; how do you see yourself; how does the world see you and what is your vision for the future? Self-reflect on the things you like about yourself and the areas you want to improve on. Defining inner beauty in terms of your personal beliefs is a great place to start.

    Is it okay to be not normal?
    Community Answer
    Yes. "Normal" is subjective, meaning not everyone even agrees on what it means. You should just be yourself, even if that means not being exactly like everybody else.

  • Question
    How do I feel beautiful when I feel ugly?
    Community Answer
    Every teen feels ugly now and then. Do your best to accept how you look. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Make a list of your best qualities. When you have a negative thought about the way you look, replace it with a positive one. For example, if you don't like your nose, replace, "My nose is too big," with, "I have beautiful eyes." The more you do this, the less frequently you will have negative thoughts.

  • Question
    What do I do if I feel like I look like a kid as a teenager and I hate it?
    Community Answer
    I've been through the same thing. My mum took me to the shops and let me pick out an outfit that helped me look a little bit older, so maybe yours would do the same. Also, I redecorated my bedroom because I felt more mature once my room was a little more "grown up."
  • Question
    My friends say all kinds of nasty things about me, what should I do?
    Community Answer
    Stop being friends with them! Seriously. Friends are supposed to be the people that hold you up and catch you when you fall, not the people who put you down! Stop talking to them and find some new friends.

    How do I be attractive while still keeping my values?

    Just be yourself! The people who will find you attractive will like you for you, not the way you look. The people who care about how attractive you are rather than your personality are NOT worth your time.

    You should do something you enjoy! A walk is also great in the fresh air. If that doesn't work, tell an adult about your situation, and maybe ask the friends you trust most to give you advice,
  • Question
    My school doesn’t allow makeup or hair color, and we must wear a school uniform. What can I do to be more attractive? Should I just stay fit?
    Community Answer
    You should practice good hygiene and exercise regularly. You don't need makeup to be beautiful. Wash your face daily and apply moisturizer afterwards. Exfoliate once or twice a week. This way your skin will be naturally glowing. If you're allowed, you can also wear some cool jewelry or shoes to stand out a little in your uniform.
  • Question
    What do I if someone says I’m “different” or “strange”? How do I know if it’s true?
    Community Answer
    Most likely, it's not. Almost everyone has a person tell them that from time to time––and it's really quite rude for that person to say such a thing. Don't listen to the person that tells you so. They're not the type of person you want to be with and they are probably projecting their own issues. However, if it's a friend who tells you this, they may mean it as a joke or in a good way, so be sure to ask them what they mean exactly.
  • Question
    When I look in the mirror I feel ugly. How do I feel pretty?
    Community Answer
    Sometimes when someone looks in the mirror they feel like they look bad, they see themselves differently than what everyone else sees them as. Try telling yourself you are beautiful. Because the meaning of beauty isn’t being perfect or having the perfect look. No, it’s about being yourself. And there are different types of beauty. If you still feel bad about your looks try having a skin care routine. But don’t use those products you find in the shops. Try finding homemade stuff online. Love yourself, no matter what.

    What if I want to wear makeup and wear cool clothes, but my parents won't let me?

    Try to respect your parents. If your definition of 'cool' means something out of their comfort zone, try to see why they are so uncomfortable with it, but don't just disobey them because you think you look cool.
