Why did he do this to me? WHY WHY WHY?!?!?!?! :-( Get me out of this ugly dark skin.?

If people have picked on you why have you not grown a thicker skin? When I was a kid I was always harassed because I did not fit into their "predominantly, upper class white" society and the only reason why it stopped was because my family moved away. You have to learn to love yourself, there are plenty of beautiful women that have dark skin. If those people don't like it, who cares? It's not like they're perfect.

It seems no one is happy with what God blessed them with. As a Light complected African American I used to say the same thing as you. WHY could I not have dark blue black skin that seemed to be flawless and beautiful?!?!? why was I cursed with skin so light people called me high yella, redbone, big red. White people seemed to assume my lighter skin meant they could make ignorant jokes in my presence. Eventually I stopped being mad @ god and started appreciating the beauty that is all the various shades of brown. God did not curse you. She blessed you with a beautiful skin to experience life to its fullest. I do not know how old you are. but I encourage you to look in the mirror and notice the beauty in the details. Look @ your body and notice the beauty in the details. Whatever has happened @ this time that makes you feel you are cursed hang on...get through it and on the other side you will grow to appreciate the gift of you being in the skin you are in....PEACE

Is your skin really that dark, like as dark as the woman in this link? ---> http://www.celebwelove.com/Alek_Wek/gal1.html Cause hunni that is a very famous and in demand supermodel, Alek Wek, she is a stunning, dark African woman from Sudan. One day you will be very appreciative and feel very blessed to have such a striking look.

You must be young. Enjoy your body and be thankful as to what God gave you. Alot of men like women with dark skin. I happened to be one of them before I fell in love with my wife. I used to be upset that God gave me a big nose, but I learned to live with it. You need to find the beauty within yourself. Everybody is beautiful in one way or another. Some people see it and some people don't but it is there. I hope that you learn to love yourself and be thankful for who you are. Forget what stupid people think about you and just be yourself, don't worry about the little things in life, because good things come to those who wait. I hope this will help you a little bit, if it doesn't than you will learn on your own. Good luck with everything and I hope you become more confident with yourself.

Sorry, I can't help with that. I'm not a miracle worker. Talk to Michael Jackson about this stuff...Or just deal with it.

You see it as a problem, so therefore, you make it a problem. Consider yourself blessed and see how things change. It's all about outlook, hon.

You are only dealt with what you can handle. The colour of your skin, your eyes, you hair doesn't make who you are. BE proud of yourself. No matter what colour your skin is you are still a beautiful person. You are alive and you have your health. Don't be ashamed be proud.

Don't toruture yrself unnecessarily. You have beauty inside and that beauty will radiate outward and make you attractive. Look at Naomi Watts, or Condi Rice---are they not gorgeous. Both have dark skin.

I promise you that highschool does not last and that you will be kissed and that all the other stuff you are worrying about you will always be self conscious about. But, you dont have too. Can you talk to your counselor at school or someone you trust? Boy, I can remember that I had problems in highschool. Different from yours but nevertheless problems. We all have problems right? We just can't pick and choose what they are going to be. But, I promise you this. It will pass and things change and one day the "pretty people" in your school won't be so pretty- We all age. You are just going to need a little more time to flourish. I read your other post and you have a list of things you don't like about yourself. We all mental lists in our heads and they either begin by our parents pointing out our flaws or our peer groups. Peer groups picking on us is the worst of the worst. I want to encourage you to seek counseling to help you work on coping skills and with your self esteem. Now, I know that doesn't answer your immediate question but since you seek truth I believe that counseling will give you the answer. You feel like you are hated by everyone. I don't hate you. I think you should make as many friends as you can online and find support where you can and realize that looks will fade and that there are people that will care about you for what you have to offer. The one thing I really like about your post is that I think you express yourself very well and I feel like I know you. Have you ever thought about keeping a blog of your daily feelings so that other people can be helped by it. Other 15 year olds that feel that they are cursed... Someone that maybe has........ acne? Good luck.
