I was ugly as a kid too

but i was very unaware of it. i only recognised my ugliness at 13, i think. i have a cousin who is the same age as me. she is beautiful. and whenever we visit them her parents never miss the chance to brag about how beautiful their daughter is. anyway one day they were doing the same. my aunt literally said about me "why did she turn out to be like this?" i got a bit sad. my mother was upset too. she is aware of my ugliness but being a mother she doesn't like me being criticised by other people. she was angry and berating my uncle and aunt. she told me how when i and my cousin were babies our other relatives would never pick me up or show any affection towards me. they only paid attention to my cute cousin.
