Especially because ba sically the only place you are going to is school. School is a place to learn, not to impress everyone with the way you look. If some girls would spend as much time a day on homework as they do worrying about their looks, they would all be geniuses. You should not have to look good for people to talk to you. If you don't have a personality, your looks aren't going to get you far anyway.
Nobody wants to talk to a stuck-up person.
Looks might get someone to notice you, but if you don't have a good personality and a good heart, you are not going to keep friends long. Sometimes I feel like my friends and I are the only women on earth who don't worry about how we look 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We only put on makeup once a day. If it melts off with the sun, oh, well, we don't need it. I'm not saying we are drop-dead gorgeous and don't need makeup to look good, but we just don't care what other people think about the way we look.
