I read your post, I feel the same way you do. Except for me I look in the mirror and wonder who that is looking back at me. I am getting teeth tomarrow, I am actually afraid of being "pretty" sometimes. It would be a crime for a guy to actually look at me lol. I am sure your really pretty, and your young too. I think that when our parents tell us we are not good looking for so long, that it is hard for us to believe we are not what they said we were/or who they said we were. I still avoid mirrors. I still hear a voice in my head telling me I am ugly, I wish the memory would disapear, but the voice only fades a little over time. The worse part is the voice, the person has been gone for over 10 years, and his words still linger in my head.
