My name is Paul. I'm 19years old. And I'm Ugly. It took me a while to accept this part of me. But I'm at peace with it now. And I cannot be shamed anymore. I have big eyes, huge like saucers. I have a big nose, I can take all the air in the room and cause others to suffocate lol.

I have a wide mouth. I have a bad dentition, made worse by colorations arising from drug effects. And my hairline is receding too. Do these features appeal to you? I bet not.

Ever since I entered Secondary School, I've been shamed for my looks. I have heard hurtful words said to me owing to my looks. Words such as: "guy you urg o", "beast k (beast king)", "guy you wowo die".

Even my seniors who should ensure that I do not face such shame are also pepertrators, my seniors would say to me during corporal punishment, "guy, I no wan see that your ugly face o", "lie down on the ground and put your head down, you too ugly".

The words did break me. I felt extremely sad. Sometimes I wondered how people didn't see the beauty in me that I sometimes saw when I stared in the mirror. I didn't always see this beauty. So I concluded that this beauty was blind to everyone but me.

Although I had friends who stood by me and tried to make me feel better by telling me I wasn't as ugly as I thought. I knew they were saying all those to sound polite. None was brave enough to say the truth. They feared it would hurt me. And truth was that it would.

My perception of myself as ugly did a lot of disservice to me. It trashed my football dreams. Having attended a boarding school, I already had the preconceived notion that footballers must be stout and handsome. Because my seniors who played were stout and handsome...

and I wasn't close to that description. So my dreams were relegated. How foolish!

Apart from my few friends, I felt lonely most times. Because the fine boys were in cliques, and how much I wanted to associate with them. Talk about trying to fit in where you're not wanted.

They knew how to buy balls from outside the school premises so they had the power to choose people to play with them. I also wanted to be able to buy balls and choose who to play with. Whenever I approached them to start a conversation,...

I was always shunned, they would say things like: "omo guy you urg ooo" "beast k get out".

When I got to Ss3, I suggested to my dad that I wanted to leave the school as the area wasn't safe anymore. Cultism & killings were rampant. The truth was that I wanted to leave because of the taunts. But the issue of insecurity came in handy. And my dad yielded to my request.

So, I was transfered to a private school near my house. I found myself in a class of 9. 6 boys, 3 girls. Of course I was the only ugly guy in the class. I had come to see myself as ugly so it was easy for me to distinguish myself from others.

But one thing that getting into this new school did for me was building my self-confidence. If I was ugly, nobody noticed or taunted me for it or even reminded me about it. I made friends easily as I was the neatest and best dressed. I always came to school neat and...

I was greatly loved by all teachers for the way I represented the school, maybe because of the boarding school training.

Till today, I'm surprised as to how I won the heart of the finest girl in that class. Before then I had this phobia of talking to girls. I didn't want to approach any girl for fear of being called ugly. But having built my confidence over time by not being reminded of my looks,

I approached this girl and she accepted me. Our love was easy and smooth and felt natural. I loved her and she loved me. She even defended me in front of teachers lol.

So I passed my exams and gained admission into the university. I am in my third year now studying statistics. It's crazy how the taunts I thought were over found me in the university. I am still jeered by course mates, lodge mates and everyone who feel they look better.

Even though I'm taunted, I know I'm loved. I'm a very good person, i don’t do people dirty, i don’t do things to others that i wouldn’t want done to me. my intentions are always pure and never tainted.

If you try to separate me from my scars before engaging in a conversation with me, I may as well have never existed in the first place. My ugliness is now a big part of who I am.

Lmao I posted a pic of me feeling my ugliness on my WhatsApp and someone taunted me ... Lmao I really dgaf, I am who I am.
I like that she's being honest.
