[quote=ZOEY,277421]Usually, those who are not good looking feel unconfident and have have an inferiority complex. However, there are still some brave people who don't feel unconfident even though they are not good looking. In an article, the author suggest that the government should impose a special tax on these beautiful people to subsidize these ugly ones (of course in a teasing way). What do you think of this idea? For those who don't have good appearance, what can they do to build their confidence? The article-----"I'am ugly and proud of it" By Jude Webber Monday, March 24, 2008 Source: FT. I was the ugly one at school - the kid with the Coke-bottle glasses, the spots, the braces. I got picked on all the time. I was treated not just as ugly, but as an idiot. Instead of learning maths, I learned to despise myself. My parents - I got the worst of both of them in the looks department - didn't really know how I was being treated at school. They couldn't understand why my grades kept going down and why I was a troublemaker. They sent me to all sorts of psychologists. I thought of killing myself - I could imagine myself at home, with the knife in my hand. Going out with girls was torture - I had to make hundreds of phone calls just to get a date and the goal was to try not to get dumped on the street corner as soon as they saw me. By then, I'd worked out that at school the best reaction was to be funny about it so that I wouldn't get teased. I became quite a character. [/quote]
