r u serious!?!!?! OMG ok, you just need a day at an amusement park, the mall, the beach, etc!. NEWHERE, just go crazy with a friend and FORGET what other ppl think, like you'll EVER see 5 of them again!?!!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The two main factors in feeling confident are being happy with the way you look and the people you are around!. It is important that you realise what exactly you dont like about yourself and focus on changing it!. I know how hard it is when you have your parents telling you your fine and not being supportive when you tell them that it is important that you make a change!. Maybe it is worth seeing a professional about it!.!.!.!.so that they can tell your parents just how important it is that u are allowed to focus on your self and your body!.

its hard to give substantiated advice without knowing your age or what you look like!. But i can tell you that it really is possible to help yourself if your given the chance!. Maybe you know someone that could speak to your parents!.!.!.!. because it really is important for them to actually understand how you feel and fort hem to give you the opportunity to grow and change!.

Theres so much more I could say but it depends on what the problems are and how old you are!. Is it possible for you to show a picture or describe yourself!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

You dont have low self esteem because of the way u look!. You can look great to everyone and have low self esteem!.

Self esteem comes from with in!. You have to know that no matter how sharp or bummy your dressed, how nice or messed up your hair looks, etc, that you are a nice, beautiful person that deserves everything she works for!. Don't you think youre worth all the opportunites the world can bring!? Don't you think youre smart!? And you should think youre beautiful!

Now when you get old enough, you can dress however u want!. But I've known plenty of ppl to get hit on or pick up dates when theyre not looking their best!. (including myself) It's all about confidence and not worrying about what other ppl think!. (which i know is so hard in middle and high school)

No worries! Keep your head up!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know that how you look will effect the way you feel about yourself!. If I go somewhere and I didn't do my make-up and hair, I don't feel as good about myself!. I feel yucky!. I think people treat you differently when you look better which is really sad!. You should be able to change your look a little if it will help your self esteem!. But don't do anything drastic like completely changing your appearance!. Maybe wear your make-up a little different (not too dark), and style your hair in a way you like!. Maybe highlights!. I love those!. You can make yourself feel better by just making some simple changes!. Explain this to your parents, and hopefully when they see that you are not going to go overboard, they will let you make some changes!. But the bottom line is that what is inside is much more important than how you look on the outside!. A great personality goes a long way!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I use to have really bad self esteem and then I started doing ballet and exercising regularly!. This naturally stimulates the seratonin levels in the brain, causing you to be confident and clear of mind (a!.k!.a!. happy)!.

But exercise alone does not a happier person make!. My parents didn't get why I was so depressed when we moved!. I actually had clinical signs of depression, like withdrawing from every family function, extreme weight loss, and bad grades!.

But seriously, if you take the initiative to get someone to just walk with you everyday, it TOTALLY helps!. This is comming from me, someone who use to think about suicide on a daily basis!. Now, not only do I feel mentally better, my body thanks me everyday!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone said appearance isn't all that important, it's true, but hard for you to accept!. Try watching an inspirational video of someone who's not that good looking but have all the charisma and attitude that you would like to have!. Look up all the important people and see what they have achieved, I am talking about real people, not actors and actresses!. Find a hero or heroin that you can relate to ( not all heros are good looking )!. Be real, be you!. Speak to your pastor for more advice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just have confidence in yourself!. Appearance isn't everything!. If your parents won't let you change your appearance, you should work on developing yourself mentally so that you can raise your self esteem in other ways!.

Please help!
