honey,

there is nothing wrong with taking the extra hours just to get yourself ready for the day. it just shows that you're not lazy. i am the same. i wake up extra early before work or school to get ready. i shower. clean up, dry my hair. put on make up ( i never over do my make up). put on clothes that i feel great in.... etc. i've been like this ever since 6th grade. i am now 21. try not to think way into deep about this. it shouldn't matter what other people say or think. enjoy being a girl ... a girly girl that is : )

DrPsych agony auntI think you need to chill out about your appearance (and frankly that is tricky at your age). Some people take extra care in their outer appearance because they are not feeling overly-confident on the inside. I personally roll into work in an environment where half the department have bothered to make an effort with their clothing and hair, and the rest of us barely made it past the shower. I could look a lot better if I had the time or energy but nothing short of TNT under the bed would get me out of bed at 6am to style my hair. This is mainly because I am fundamentally lazy about such matters and moreover, I really don't care what anyone says to me. If you felt 100% good about yourself (and I don't mean just on the outside) then you wouldn't care what other people say. You would laugh when they say you are a 'dog' (I would personally take that as a compliment - they wouldn't make the effort to say things if you were not a threat to them). My point is by all means take an interest in your appearance, but not to the extent that it interferes with your sleep (frankly zzz does wonders for your skin and hair). You need to feel good enough about yourself to cope with a bad hair day and face the world regardless. YOu have people around you who tell you that you are ok so just relax!

bubbloo24 agony auntTBH hun, it sounds like they're jealous and I wouldn't classify them as mates if they're gonna think that about you.

If they are your friends they should accept you as you.

Stand up tall, do what you want to do and don't take anyone's sh*t coz you got a guy who obviously has feelings for YOU, not the person ppl are tryin to make you be becoz of what they think- He fell in love with YOU.

Don't change coz they don't like it!

Stick to your guns.

Anyway it's good to stand out. We were born different.

Ponungalungb agony auntWhy are you so concerned with what other people think? Be satisfied within your own skin and let everyone else stick their noses in the air or anywhere else they'd like to stick them. You seem to be happy with the way you look, and that's all that matters. You have a boyfriend that apparently likes you the way you are, so why are you desperate? The only person you need to please is yourself.

Good luck!
