I can’t believe this is my life

What others think of you is THEIR problem to deal with – not yours. the only thing you can control (as mentioned above) is your life, actions and feelings. you can’t force others to change what they think – also mentioned above is that you may not remain “ugly’ forever (although i understand that just the time to graduate school seems like forever away)

The key is your own perception and goals – i dealt with similar issues when i was in school – being a thin and small boy through most of my school years left me dodging bullies most of my academic career – but because i was considered “not a threat” it allowed me to become friends with girls that would normally be wary of the intent of other guys – i learned to listen to others who were most often forced to be quiet while others boasted of their strength, beauty and conquests.

if your parents think you’re “stupid” that can remove the pressure of being “smart” – it removes expectations – you are liberated to quietly go find the subjects you love and really excel – bottom line is – when other people underestimate or belittle us – it means they either fear us so they’re trying to keep us down – or they have underestimated our ability which means we can excel and learn without their interference because they don’t think we’re ever capable … but whatever you do – do things that are good for YOU and your future – let others worry about their feelings and actions
