writes:Hi :-)I am 17 years old and everyday I just feel really unconfident and ugly. I know that a lot of girls struggle with this and that I am not the only one, but I just feel that something is wrong with me personally. I've never had a boyfriend and I feel that boys just aren't interested in me. I am rather shy at school, so I don't talk to boys all that much and when I do, I feel like I'm making a complete fool out of myself. I never know what to say, especially if I like a boy. I notice some boys looking at me sometimes.. and not in that disgusted way, but in the way that it seems that they like me. I just want to know if I am imagining things and if I'm not, how can I tell if they like me? I know that I can be pretty, I just feel that certain things stop me- like acne and I've always hated my eyebrows. They are just not shaped right..More than anything I just want to be confident and happy. I want someone to love and to love me back. I don't want to be scared for the future.Do you have any advice for me?Thank-you for your help. I really appreciate it.

 Hey,I have a daughter about your age. She's 16 now and I know it is hard for her. There is so much pressure to be "pretty and confident" from society, but, I just tell her to be herself, to focus on the little things near her (like family and close friends) and her studies. I keep telling her that she might look and feel awkward now, but, she will be in full bloom later. She can't understand that though. I keep reminding her that the best is yet to come.Stay strong.

 I am still sort of the way you are, shy and not the most confident. But its just one of those things you have to learn to move past and grow out of. If guys are looking at you, odds are you are just being over pessimistic about yourself. Accept yourself for who you are and move forward. You have a strong pair of legs, get up and use them. Start talking to people spontaneously to get used to talking to people to get used to being in that sort of situation, its what ive been trying for a while and its working. Good Luck!
