Did anyone else used to get called ugly at school a lot?
How did it affect you in adult life, I still view myself based on the comments I used to get when I was younger. I know it's silly but still find it hard to think of myself any differently. |

The guys who used to call me “tree trunk legs” and “fatty” at school are now bald, with beer bellies and married to plus-size women.
I bet all those people who called you “ugly”, don’t have such great thighs  |

Just to put the original post in context, I'm not feeling so down about it. Reason being is literally been on a bus and heard some chavy teenage girls hurling abuse at some random guy on the bus. Basically calling him hideous.
Just got me thinking and brought back some memories |

I was ginger with freckles. So as you can imagine, I got called a lot of names. I think it does stay with you. That little voice in the back of your head. People make jokes about being ginger, but being a kid and going through puberty with the constant name calling and sniggers can affect your self esteem in later years too. |

Have been told many times at various stages of life I was fat, ugly and had a huge nose, even at my smallest when I had a 26"waist I was still told I was fat.
Now I'm older I don't take as much notice anymore however it does stay with you. One nose job, several rounds of botox and a round of lip filler later and I know I'll never be 'happy' with how I look, but if I can do things to keep me looking around average, so hopefully less likely to attract negative attention then that'll do. |

I'm a bit like that sometimes, but fuck it. People mature and most would no ot be that insensitive now. You get what you're given, just work it |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
I was never bullied at school.
My mother told me I was ugly and family told me I was fat (at size 8/10). These things do influence how we see ourselves and how we react to criticism. I am now genuinely fat but I know I am not ugly and that my weight doesn't define me.
OP, I remember your other thread. No one can give you confidence, you have to earn and learn it. Good luck.

I have to laugh at some of the things that happen at school, as I was an army brat and moved schools a lot but never once, despite being a short arse and therefore perceived as an easy target, was I ever bullied, my sister on the other hand who is taller and older relied on me to protect her.
But one comment my stepdad made when I was 13 'was for gods sake (insert name here) your boobs are meant to be bigger than your belly' Even though I have never been fat, maybe a bit chubby but even now I look down at myself and hate my stomach (pot belly I call it) and I am a Next size 6, it's strange how things stick with us for the worst  |

I wasn't bullied or called ugly specifically, more picked on.
I moved from Sheffield to my current town when I was seven. I got picked on for my accent, picked on because I've always had big eyes, got picked on because I had a lazy eye, picked on as I couldn't pronounce specific words and because I was bad at sports, both due to my dyspraxia... all sorts! Kids can be cruel. |
