     Agatha Deanne of Fairbanks, Alaska, continues her story.

Agatha Deanne here.

I'm afraid things aren't much better since I last wrote.  The kids continue to ostracize me, ignore me, as though I don't even exist.  I still get yelled at by my parents and ignored by my two older sisters, ages 16 and 19, who treat me no better than anyone else.

I still get teased by the kids at school; some days it is all I can do to keep from crying or throwing up.  Oftentimes I play sick, just so I can get out of going to school.  I hate school!!

My sisters are beautiful:  their names are Katie-Rose and Bliss Dawnee'; even their faces are beautiful.  Meanwhile, I got tagged with an ugly name, and a face to go along with it.  I was named after my grandma.  Guess I got her looks too because she wasn't no raving beauty either.

I know it's wrong to worship or worry about the celebs, but when one is lonesome like I am, with no friends, what can I do to entertain myself?  Can't I even be happy even once??  Is that too much to ask??

How can anyone like me with my face?  I look more like the back end of a horse or a mule; hence, the nickname of "Mule Face", which some kids lovingly gave me when I was like ten years old.  Let's face it:  I was ugly.  Still am ugly; I will never win any beauty contests or end up on "American Idol" or "America's Got Talent", that's for damn sure!!

I will be glad when it's Thanksgiving next week.  That way, I won't have to face the kids at school, and I don't have to worry about Bliss, my oldest sister, who could rival Angelique Jolie or Faith Hill in looks:  blonde, skinny, just flat out gorgeous!  (Bliss is going to her boyfriend's house for Turkey Day.)  Katie-Rose isn't too bad, but sometimes even she will call me nasty names, and it hurts my feelings.

Mom and dad try their best to make me feel appreciated, but it doesn't always work.  I look at the mirror, and all I see is "ugly" staring back at me.  It's enough to make me want to wish I were dead.

Well, I gotta run.  At school, waiting to go to gym class, as I write this.  Before anyeone sees what I'm doing, I'd best shut this down, or else I'll really get tortured and raked over the coals, as if I don't already get that enough now!  I will write again soon; until then, take care!

~Agnes Deanne.  :(

What a sad girl.My guess is that that are probably many girls that feel that way- which makes it even more sad.My hope is that she finds someone who shows her where ture beauty reslly is.

Poor Agnes. I wish she'd see the beautiful person that she is, inside - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I see beauty, here - well done, Karen.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
