What is ugly?

Today at school, I was asked a ridiculous question which made me snap as soon as the question was let loose. The harshness in my voice as I answered was probably because of the long day and moody weather, plus... I was on my period. But however, I was in Art class, doing my thing when my friend asked me "Am I ugly?". I had then angrily answer her, "No. No you're not."

I had also reasoned why I had answered her question so harshly at her reaction. The reason I will say a little later on. But on my way home, I started thinking of that one question that somehow had been playing on loop since the question was thrown. And it finally hit my how many times those same words had been questioned at me. 

Am I ugly? Do you think I'm ugly?

And my answer will still probably be the same. Even after one billion of the same question.

No, you are not. You are beautiful.

I don't get why people ask if they are ugly or not. Why would their appearance matter? No one is ugly. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and I don't get why one would try to change their appearance to look like someone they're not. This then leads to the question What is concidered beautiful? What I concider beautiful is someone who are true to themselves and those who's personality can fit an angel's. But then, we're only humans. We all can do wrong at times but that's exactly what we learn of. That's what I concider beautiful. This is what I answered to my friend. 

But then, what do you concider ugly?

That's simple. If your personality is a , you are as ugly as your rottened heart. 

These kinds of questions has been thrown at me so many times at my life and it's unbelivably annoying how people can just throw so hurtful words at each other such as the word ugly. How many times these questions has been thrown at me to make me write a post about it. I'm only 14 years old. 

I don't know if I got my message out as I wanted, but if it isn't clear...

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

Oh damn Rinnie girl.
You make me cry tears of joy.
If anger is the only way you feel to express a message its fine,trust me sometimes it works.
You see I live of praises,and I'm a perfectionist.
So it would come easy for my to ask that question.
Am I ugly?
But I learned a long time ago that no one deserves to be called that,not even a person on the street,because there is something that,that person is good at that I'm not.
Beauty is not oly superficial,it comes with the personality,and characteristics.
I've worked over many years to create a perfect 'me'.
But I know now,that it will never happen,no one is perfect,but no one is ugly either.
I don't even think it should be a word in the dictonary.
But one day we will all have our defination of what is ugly and what is beautiful,but for now..
...Rinnie.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFULL!

I agree with what you're saying. Mostly young aged girls are affected by media. Media paints the definition of what a y or attractive girl or boy is. That is mostly why the girl in your class asks the same gad damn question I get a lot. I do often get “I am fat?” When you’re at the age 14, you’re a teenager. And, when you are a teenager, you get quite sophisticated and unsure about yourself. I also feel “ugly”, but at the end of day, I am grateful because I do not have any medical problems with myself. If she asks the same question again, say that “To be pretty, you have to be confident about yourself. Honey, you ain’t confident when you ask the same question all the time. If you think you are pretty, I think you are pretty.”

I've just seen this now, and I think it depends on what the students in your school usually look like. At my school, everyone tends to have a fair skin color, and be skinny. I'm a darker color and have a little bit more fat then they do, making me feel like an outcast.

I like your definition of ugly.. my friends also ask me the same question to me.. maybe they just feel insecure that's why they asked that question..
