That’s exactly right!!! Also, so

what if you are short. I am 5’1” and proud of it! Tall girls have

trouble finding tall enough men for them. We never have that problem. Tall

women get mad at you if you have a tall man. Tee-hee. Since I am 57 I can say

for sure, beauty on the outside is short-lived but when a man loves you on the

inside for your beauty, it is a lasting, fulfilling love. Hang in there. The

teens suck. Kids are so mean!!!

My dear, I could have written your letter. I also was an

overweight teenager, and I know how people either ignore you or take a giant

crap on your head. People treat you like your shouldn't exist.

I also lost weight from being sick, and I noticed girls

still didn't like me - not because I was fat, but because they were

intimidated.

That boy that he did that for one reason.... It

Made Him Feel Powerful. It made him feel powerful to say " no " to a

really pretty girl. Same reason girls might start calling you names, make up

stories about you. Women Are Our Own Worst Enemy.

I truly believe that. Guys run on getting " it " and looking

" cool " . They are pretty simple. Occasionally you will run into a bitchy

guy, but usually they are kind of like what you see is what you get.

I know it is hard to do when you are in the middle of this,

but step back for a moment and look at these " people " . Why would

anyone be so hateful to you for no reason???

They are insecure, and it makes them feel more secure by

focusing on you and abusing you. They think if they don't pick on someone, they

won't get picked on.

I really wish there was some kind of magic line I could give

you to make this go away. My heart really hurts for you. I really mean that. I

know how deep that pain runs, and it will do two things:.... It will make you

kind hearted in your life, and it will make you build up a wall

and protect yourself. You know what, there is nothing

wrong with either. I have intentionally cut off relationships with family and

friends who not only couldn't/WOULD'NT deal with the Lupus/RA, but also

wouldn't stop trying to " Keep Me In Line'.

I know some people might find this selfish to say, but it

isn't. You must take care of You! Not only because of Lupus, but also because

you are a beautiful, special soul.

P.S..Did you ever hear this saying: A pretty girl will

turn boys heads,

A beautiful girl will turn men's heads

But a GORGEOUS woman will turn WOMEN'S heads!
