    Well I know this sounds unlikely but about 80% of us can look gorgeous if we have the right style to suit us.

    The thing is you're probably looking at all your friends good points and not at what you have over them.

    I mean it's hard for me to advise you without a picture unless you want me email me one bit I can try :)

    For example, most girls now look better with a side fringe and unless you have a long face, long hair is always the way to go.

    Some times if your natural hair is a mix of colours dying it to match your eyes can be good as well. Like red hair with green eyes, brown hair with brown eyes, blonde hair with blue eyes etc. also make it match your skin, your hair either wants to be a fair big lighter or a fair bit of a darker tone to your skin. If its the same colour it will wash you out, and if it's too drastic a different it will look odd.

    Plus of course, make up always makes girls look beautiful, they key is though to never make yourself look too fake or things start to get a bit tacky.

    I'm sure you're gorgeous, I used to hate the way I looked but I made some changes and even a bit of a personality change and I'm far happier, plus it was really easy, just have more confidence in you, no one wants a big headed girl, but girls that believe they are an aright looker get far more respect from those around them

    I used to feel the exact same way, but all I had to do was change one simple thing- my hair parting. I had a middle part and a big forehead so I looked pretty stupid. Now I have a deep side part and actually, as stupid as this sounds, it feels dramatically different.

    Sometimes its just one big thing that sticks out to you, and if you improve on it or change it completely, all the other imperfections are very minor. After changing my hair, I had this different way of looking at things. I got a lot more confident and realized all of the compliments I got that I never agreed with, were really genuine. You need to focus on the positive and instead of looking in the mirror and thinking 'If I had this I'd be pretty', think "I'm so glad my eyes are blue, I'm so glad my teeth are straight, I'm so glad I don't have chicken legs" etc.

    Talk to a friend that you really, truly trust, and ask them what they think.

    Oh, and by the way, having a boyfriend doesn't mean you're pretty. And not having a boyfriend doesn't make you ugly. This GORGEOUS girl I know didn't have a boyfriend for almost two years, and no one treated her differently because of it.

    I really hope this helped at least some :)

    Well in all honesty would have to see a picture, however, this site probably isnt the best place for your question. Lots of douchebags post on here just to troll people and leave negative comments and go to the next question. Regardless of what people think, there is always somebody who will cherish every part of you. Even though you might still be young and think that the day will never come, I promise you it will. Unfortunately, all it takes is time and patience.

    don't worry about it every girl feels like this from time to time even those models that always look so perfect and pretty just take a good look in the mirror and say all the things you like about yourself , and so what if you don't have a boyfriend it just gives you the oportunity to flirt with the cute new guys that you meet :P. and about the guy that rated you a 3 come on don't worry about it every guy has a different taste when it comes to girls i'm sure there are guys that'd rate you a 100000000000 and do anything to be your bf.

    -hope this helps ^-^

    the reason you don't get guys could be because you lack confidence. why do you lack confidence? i'm sure you're beautiful. and there's nothing a guy loves more than a confident girl. trust me i'm not pretty but i have a boyfriend because i am self confident. don't change how you look change how you think of yourself! and if it makes you feel good try some make up or some other clothes or whatever is making you feel bad try to help it

    Always have positive thoughts about yourselves, no matter what.

    Dont try to change yourself just because you feel like your friends are prettier than you ,

    If you constantly keep thinking that you are no better looking than them , then your confidence level will obviously go down triggering your thoughts of yourself as being ugly and etc.

    Be happy and live your life smiling ! (:
