I never thought about looks before, but now im scared to go places. I feel depressed and every last bit of confidence is drained out. My mind is always flooded with thoughts like: will i ever get married? Will someone love me? It feels dreadful because its a never ending headache. Is this normal?

I went through the same thing, wasted alot of time worrying about whether I was pretty or not (it didn't help that there were losers out there who called me ugly!) I'm in my forties now, and when I look back at my teenage photos, I realize that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my looks. I didn't have a bunny-bump nose, but really, it turned out that wasn't the end of the world! (and I did get married, so just you wait-- you'll do it too if that's what you want) :)
What I wish I could've done was maybe get a new hairstyle, a wardrobe consultation, or a makeup lesson or two. It might have made me feel better, but then it may not have helped at all. Best thing to do is ride it out. Most people here would agree that life gets much better after high school.

I see ur only young. You shouldnt be this way at ur age! I know its a part of growing up,comparing urself to others. We think it will do us good when really it is the thing that makes us feel down.
Ive been there myself,its horrible,i know. I missed loads of school over it,and ended up messing up my grades and I went into a downward spiral. Dont do the same.
Confidence comes from within. Even if you dont believe it or feel like it,fake it. There will come a time when you practised it that much,it will come naturally.
