Hi Samantha,
Its very common to feel that way u know…I too have pimples that leave few scars and when I was in 8th grade it got horrible.! My class is abundant with pretty girls and i felt so low that I didnt talk to many people and I only used to study and go home with my one and only friend and i never even looked anywhere else except at my mom who used to come to pick me from school…the mean girls used to mock me and gossip about me a lot and even though I knew about that i didnt go and face them…my lone support was my best friend who was with me at all times..she too is not all that pretty but her heart is made up of gold..she kept boosting my morale and later I startrd feeling ok about myself..after sometime I didnt mind the scars and I went ahead and made some good friends and I started feeling happy about myself…the way i looked didnt matter to me anymore…
After some days I started thinking about the positive things in me and I found that what I have in terms of character,academics and many other things makes me a much better person than those other girls…I feel that u should too think about the much better things in u and dont let this 1 thing hold u back…go ahead and talk your heart out and just for one moment forget about these scars and think of yourself as the best person there.start feeling good about yourself and that only will lead to a high self esteem…I would also like to tell you that make up damages your skin a lot..trust me when i tell u that it does only temporary good but long time damage…I tried all the stuff available in the market but that only messed up my condition..Then finally I decided to just stop all those and used nothing except a facewash and a face scrub…and a year later I got great results…my pimples disappered and even the scars.just leave your face normal and dont apply make up and all those stuff.im sure it will benefit u…
And please think good about yourself..When my mom adviced me all this I felt that she doesnt know how im feeling and it must be easy for her to just say so but when I followed her advice it actually worked..Just being confident about myself and feeling ok about the way i looked made me the most popular girl in my school..I still have a few scars but now days nobody thinks less about me cos of them..just let it stop affecting u..what u think about yourself is much more important than what others think about u..! All the best..And I do hope my advice helped u…
Warm Regards,
Crystal..
