Has anyone been told hurtful comments regarding your looks
I can remember 2 instances, a long long time ago but I still sometimes go over these comments
They were from total strangers
One of the comments from a group of boy's whilst walking home from work.
I cried once I got home
I have had lots of compliments also so way do I focus on these

When one of my friends ,when in her early teens, was at a family party sitting quietly by herself, her aunt came over and put her arm around her shoulder and said “Don’t worry dear- I was the plain one in my family too! “
She never forgot that but she and her sister were the best of friends and both in my opinion were attractive and had a brilliant sense of humour.
