HELP! My sister feels ugly! What do I do???With pic!?!
Question: Well, my little sister thinks she's very ugly. Many people comment her on her "Big Nose." I don't think she has a big nose. She always puts herself down . I tried talking to cheer her up and tell her that she is beautiful. She thinks that I am lying, and she says that she needs a fairy godmother to fix her up. I feel bad for her, what do i do?
Here is a pic of her:

I'm an older guy but I would have loved to have had a nice looking young woman like her were I her age. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have even approached her, figuring she's way out of my league.
Breaking a life-long habit of low self-esteem is difficult, but it can be done. She sounds like she's letting the negative comments of others affect the way she feels because they feed directly into how she feels about herself inside. She is basically saying to herself, "See, I am right, they don't like me so there is something wrong with me." It's a vicious, circular reasoning, self-feeding, cycle, but she can break it.
There are articles aplenty on the Web for boosting self-esteem. Basically it comes down to you are what you think, if you understand what I mean by that.
You may be too young to know of Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking" series. These articles look to be based on his writings.
