   Let me tell you something, and i'm being 100% HONEST.First….Beauty Isn't everything. Trust me. I'd much rather be considered fun and smart than perfectly beautiful.Second…Be patient! I bet you are pretty already, but oddly enough the prettiest women have made it thru 'growing up'. People now tell me I'm very attractive- whereas when I was much younger I went thru alot of 'awkward phases' [ex: having extra 'baby fat' on my face, acne, and low self esteem]I bet if you're under 16 you still got time- so does she.Everyone blossoms at a different age. Another thing is, most models are just average looking people who happen to be really tall and thin. I know because i have worked with them myself at my previous job. i'm not trying to put your cousin down, i'm sure she is pretty but I'm sure you are too, so don't discredit yourself. Why don't you hangout with your cousin, Admire her and enjoy having someone who gets advice from experts with fashion and taking care of her skin? Maybe she could even give you hand-me-downs of very nice clothes. I'm jealous of YOU for having a cousin with a great job. Who knows, when you're older and grown up more ..maybe you could even model, and she could help you get into the industry? Point is, be HAPPY and happy FOR others and you will have a good life, and good things come to you too. You have alot of talents and you just have to be patient and discover them. Looks aren't everything, and alot of what is 'pretty' is really – 1) good [not necessarily alot, but well-applied] makeup 2) Age [everyone's different, but women tend to get 'priettier' as they progress between becoming a teen and enter their twenties.] 3) Taking care of youself. this means excercising, and taking really good care of your skin- as much as you can control. 4) Fashion. Dressing nice makes people look good. and LAST- ATTITUDE is EVERYTHING. If you have a sunny, good personality and Positive outlook- see the good in everything and everyone- your life will be happy and people will be drawn to you.You are a beautiful girl just the way you are- and you have years to grow into your skin. So take care of it! don't forget sunscreen and smile!

   I know exactly how you feel. I have a cousin, 1 year younger, who sounds just like that-her family is rich so she owns her own condominium now, she has perfect blonde curls, shes tall and tan and looks awesome in a bikini, and although Im good looking, I could never look as "good" as she does. My grandma is always going on and on about how perfect she is, and maybe I should move to her beach condo and live in one of her spare rooms and go to her prestigious college so that I can become a doctor like shes going to be.All I can do is be the best I can be! I go to a good school (not as good as hers because she has more money-shes not smarter than me). I look alright. I dont have any real "talents" but all I can do is just remember to always be the best I can be. Sounds cheesy but think about yourself-not your cousin. There are a million other girls out there who are prettier, can sing better, can act better, have better bodies-none of that matters. Just think about what you have and how you portray yourself everyday. Be confidant in yourself….and tell your mom or an aunt you like that they are hurting your feelings when they say how perfect and gorgeous whats-her-face is!! No girl should have to listen to thier own family basically call them plain or boring. Stand up for yourself girl. When I think about how my cousin has it all, I just have to remember how hard Ive worked to have what I have now and how my cousin has never worked a DAY in her life. Looks dont get you everywhere, just remember that. Source(s): think about who you are and what you can be, not about unrealistic ideals or about anyone else!!
