Am I a waste of life?

I'm not sure how to deal with anything anymore. My life sucks all because things I cannot control. I have all the bad qualities a human can have. My head is shaped weird, my eyesight is terrible, my hair is too thick to mess with, my teeth are crooked, and my skin is the type of dark nobody likes. I don't have any friends because of my bad looks. I am really nice but in return I get treated poorly. I am in high school and it sucks, teachers only like the good looking kids (I'm not lying). Every that knows me pretty much hates me for no reason at all. I'm poor and I don't fit anywhere. Also I have this problem with my nerves that I am constantly shaking, everyone thinks I'm scared or nervous but I'm not its something I have control of. No one ever gave me a compliment and all people do is criticize me, normally that wouldn't bother me but it really sucks when I get the same negativity every day. I'm not depressed, I'm normally a positive person, but nothing good happens to me. Its like life just made me as a joke. I fear I will be alone forever. I'm sick of logging on facebook and seeing photos of people having a good time. I'm not depressed I'm perfectly fine mentally. I want to know that feeling for once. I'm sorry this is long, what I would like to know is if there is any hope for me? Do you think one day something positive can happen in my life? I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

    When you change the way that you look at things the things you look at change!!!!

    When i was in high school i had the same problem, i was the hispanic girl who just came from a foreign country and didn't speak english. I didn't have the best cloth or pair of sneakers and i felt REALLY out of place but you know what it got better it always does so be patient.

    All i see is that you focused on your bad qualities how about the good ones?? (don't tell me u don't have one -.- we all do)

    Focus on those good qualities and your personality. If teachers only focus on good looking kids then become the smart kid, trust me someone that always has the right answer will always call the attention more that someone who is just good looking but brainless. So always study ahead and try to get the best grades. When people see that you are good at something they will always approach you for help and this gives them a chance to get to know you too.

    Join clubs and sports... this gives you the chance to meet new people and to interact with them. Maybe you will find people wl the same interest so get involve it never hurts.

    If you are old enough you can also get a job, anywhere to earn your own money to buy better cloths or improve your looks if you want. You can also spend money on things that makes you happy like video games or a collection of something.

    i had acne, wore glasses and i needed braces it was a great package -____-. But i went to a dermatologist and i got contact lenses. Now I'm 20 and i just got my invisible line braces. So be patient and remember to always be you and love yourself for what you are and for what others want you to be.

    Good luck,

    Ps. Don't let your happiness depend on others :)

    There's no such thing a waste of life. You're not a waste of anything. The bad qualities you say you have refer to aesthetic problems... so you may not be conventionally attractive, so what? Beautiful people aren't somehow worth more than you (and if it means anything to you, thick hair is considered attractive by most people) Your eyesight can probably be remedied with glasses, surely? Even if it can't be... even blind people can have full and wonderful lives.

    I'm sure people don't hate you. Really. People don't usually tend to hate others for no reason. Your low opinion of yourself may be causing you to think these people hate you or, perhaps if you're never smiling and walking with your head down, these people are thinking you don't want to be approached. Confidence makes the world of difference when it comes to making friends. It will hopefully come to you in time.

    I absolutely think your life can get better. Sometimes it doesn't seem like it but it will. I promise. Why don't you write a list of everything positive you have in your life, or everything positive you know you will have in your life? Keep that and look at it whenever you're feeling low. Try making some friends online by joining some forums about subjects you have interest in. You'd be surprised how big a difference having friends over the internet can make. Okay, they're not as ideal as friends you can physically meet up with and you do have to be careful to make sure you're actually talking to the real person, but it's a good start. It'd be a good way to build confidence. Try little things like keeping your head up, smiling at people, taking part in class. If you change your attitude, others may follow.

    One thing though, you shouldn't be shaking, that's not normal. Please see a doctor if you can.

    If you ever need anybody to talk to, please email backinthesalad@yahoo.com :) Good luck and God bless.

    That is ridiculous. You know, high school is such a split second in your life. I'm 25 now, and I look back and it was just such a short chapter in my life. Once you graduate highschool and get into real life, like college, or a job, the world is really a different place. You get treated with more respect and people from all walks of life mix. High school is so cliquey. Just keep on pushing forward, have a dream and pursue it, and you will see one day and think back to reading this and go, oh yeah!

    You just need to meet other people, outside of school. Participate in community events, get out and do things where you can meet people. One day, you will have more people in your life that respect you and love you for who you are. At the end of the day, having straight teeth and thick hair doesn't really matter. Trust me.

    You can never know if you are a waste of life until you die. Have you hurt anyone? Have you stolen anything? How smart are you? If you are a stupid person who has killed and steals then yes. But if you are a smart person who doesnt do bad things then no.
