I've always been considered the ugly sister compared to my gorgeous older sister. We're only like a year apart though. But she's so pretty and everyone likes her. She has really shiny and soft brown hair, clear skin, tan, skinny, smart and just beautiful. She also has a great body like an hourglass and she always gets hit on by guys. I on the other hand dont get hit on by guys at all. I'm pretty much the exact opposite of her and it makes me feel terrible. I have really unhealthy rough hair and I have acne and I'm the only overweight person in my family. Even when we go to other peoples homes everyone just goes crazy on how pretty she is and ignore me. She also has a ton of friends when I only have like 3. I just feel terrible about myself right now and I don't know how to handle this. I hate being the ugly sister. Any advice would help. Thanks

Beauty doesn't matter! How many times does a person need to hear that before they realize it's actually true. If you prefer being followed by hundreds of perverts who don't care a bit about you only like you because you're beautiful, or having friends that only hang out with you because you're popular and will get them guys so be it. I don't mean to be rude or anything it's just that who you are on the inside is what matters. Anyone who will ever truly care about you, be it a boy or a friend or family, they'll do it because you're a good, sincere person who is true to herself. Not because she cando a dramatic turn with her hair.

Hey, don't be sorry for seeking help! This is what yahoo answers is for! :) Your probably not ugly; most people think they are ugly. It's usually a self esteem problem. Firstly, I recommend you do some workouts to tone up or some form of exercise regularly which you enjoy e.g. swimming, dancing, running... It will make you feel better and happier about yourself and you will also tone up and look better. Secondly, I recommend you get a new haircut which suits your face (ask your hairdresser for advice) and try different hairstyles every day. Wear clothes that flatter your figure too. You have to make the effort to look good an then you are half way there. The other half of looking good is smiling and feeling positive. You may feel that you are uglier, but beauty is not a fact. 'My sister is more beautiful than me' is an opinion. '1 add 1 equals 2' is a fact. So when they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it may sound cheesy and stupid, but it's true. If you don't believe me, look at all the girls who fancy one direction and justin bieber. Why do some girls go crazy for them and others dont? Why do some people prefer robert patterson? Haha. Don't try and look like your sister. You are your own person. Play up your own good features that give you a quirky edge. Hope this helped :)

1) WEIGHT: Lose weight and ASK your family for help to make you more accountable and successful.

2) ACNE: Every night after you brush your teeth, wash your face with a gentle cleanser (or some diluted lemon juice).

3) HAIR: Once a week, apply one beat egg yolk + olive oil to your hair and leave it in for 30 min to an hour. Then wash it out with LUKE WARM water. Hot water will cook the egg in your hair.

4) MAKEUP: Invest in some makeup, but don't over do it. The only things you should buy are a tinted SPF, concealer, a nude lip shade, black eyeliner, and mascara. NO EYESHADOWS.



Take CARE of yourself. Beauty doesn't always come naturally. These simple changes will help you improve your appearance and your self esteem. Give this regime about 3 weeks ( a month if possible), and don't give up (results don't always come fast).



Beauty definitely doesn't come to me naturally. Everyone says I look like a completely different person without makeup. I work my *** off to look as good as I do.

The thing you DON'T want to do is compare yourself to your siblings. Older siblings are supposed to help you. If you feel that way, go and talk to her about it. Also, keep in mind that everyone's definition of beauty is different, and even then, beauty doesn't matter. Really. You think it does when you're a teenager, but when you get older, it becomes less important. Focus on the features that make you feel good about yourself. If you want to achieve a body you're comfortable in, do something about it!

I really do not mean to be rude, but the person with the best answer clearly doesnt know what youre going through. I am the "ugly" older sister of a super model, I wont say her name but growing up next to her was really a challenge. Everyone made me feel like this ugly duckling who never really morphed into swan. I decided to become her best friend and not let anyone ruin our relationship even her...as she went out with two of my boyfriends. But I decided to live beyond that. And I Refused to believe she was more beautiful than me, you shouldnt, ever. You are beautiful you are wonderful, you are magical there is noone like you plus you know rejection which makes you profound and your physical beauty will be breath taking to the right person. Learn to love yourself dont compare your beauty to other types of beauty, always be elegant, keep your head tall and your shoulders back, love and live with all your heart. Its your life and just like you it is extremely beautiful.

If you just be the younger but wiser sister and have a bigger heart, you are gonna be loved equally. You do know the prettier girls get hit on by many guys and have so many friends in their good times but once they lose those temporary attractive feature, beauty and money and having a rough time, those so called friends might begin to distance themselves from her. It's a bit silly of us to think that prettier ones are loved more compared to less prettier or uglier ones, they just get different challenges and problems compared to you, humans are still far from being that perfect when we have only and only happiness from begining to end. Stop letting yourself down, people love you for your genuiness, caringness, intelligence, your overall personality. You should keep reasonable distance from all those who only wish to come close to you for your attractiveness because that usually their immaturity or sickness. Get rid of Jelousy and immaturity. You are pretty, love yourself, love your family, we all need them. Good Luck.

You should not let this ruin the relationship between the two of you. I might be a good idea if you talked to her about how you feel because then she might see things a little diffirently. She might not even know you feel this way.



I bet you are far more attractive then you think.
