Advice for being ugly as a teenager

Hello, I’m 15 oh teenager and I am I’ve been called ugly for my whole high school experience pretty much as a kid that was never considered ugly so that’s why I was surprised when I started getting really really bad acne. I tried telling my mom, but she kept forcing me to go to school and tell me nobody’s gonna care but it seems like that’s the only thing that mattered to people cause I was just trying to go through my normal high school experience, but I kept being disgusted looks instead of ignoring me, people decided to come up to me and called me ugly. I was just trying to blend in and be normal. I wasn’t trying to be the most popular but I guess I just became a target for everybody else insecurities so everybody else took all other things on me instead the people who actually deserve if I douche bag when I tried being nice people, they just spit in my my face essentially I don’t really know what to do anymore. I’m kind of losing. Hope it’s really changed my outlook on life. How much looks really do matter and I’m kind of scared cause I don’t wanna go through my whole life like this.

How can I cope with being ugly as a teenager?

Background never really cared about my looks too really about middle school and some in when I start getting some comments about having acne, but that was pretty much it but then a huge change for starters. I was never really a ugly kid growing up for some reason I started getting a bunch of acne my face shaped changed and it just didn’t go the direction. I liked it to go and people started judging me off stuff I couldn’t control like just for example, having bad acne just the way I look people look give me disgusted look people look at me once and just think they know everything about me. They didn’t care how tall I was how smart I was outcome. It was all all they saw a pass was my looks and this is crazy growing up cause as a kid. I was never an ugly kid and when people start commenting about my looks treat me like garbage because it because of something I couldn’t even control I started getting major depression and people just call me ugly straight in my face for no reason when I didn’t even do anything to deserve it as I see the good looking guys get all the attention while I’m just sitting in the background in the shadows I don’t know anymore man it’s just not fair edit: another part of the story that I started to judge too. I’m also black/African-American so I’m all automatically judged off my appearance by most people, but I really started to see how people really treated me when I went to high school and my looks started to really downgrade. My skin grew a lot darker for some reason maybe because of the acne has started getting a major hyperpigmentation. I just overall didn’t fit in people treating me like shit cause I’m because of something I couldn’t control so to be honest at this point, I can’t I pretty much have given up at at the world when people when people can’t see past my looks and nothing else good
