This Girl Had The Best Response When She Found Herself on The “Ugliest Girls” Poll

Lynelle Cantwell from Newfoundland, Canada, came across a poll on popular site ask.fm, rating the looks of her 12th grade classmates.

She, and two of her friends were on the “Ugliest Girls” list. She spoke to Buzzfeed Canada. “I felt hurt, like really really hurt. Not gonna lie, it tore me apart a little bit.”

But instead of allowing herself to be affected by the attack, Lynelle took to Facebook to address the anonymous poster.

She addressed the posted and said

“I’m sorry that your life is so miserable that you have to try to bring others down. To the 12 people that voted for me to bring me to 4th place. I’m sorry for you too. I’m sorry that you don’t get to know me as a person”.

The post in full reads:

To the person that made the “ugliest girls in grade 12 at hth” ask.FM straw poll. I’m sorry that your life is so miserable that you have to try to bring others down. To the 12 people that voted for me to bring me to 4th place. I’m sorry for you too. I’m sorry that you don’t get to know me as a person. I know that I’m not the prettiest thing to look at. I know I have a double chin and I fit in XL clothes. I know I don’t have the perfect smile or the perfect face. But I’m sorry for you. Not myself. I’m sorry that you get amusement out of making people feel like shit. I’m sorry that you’ll never get the chance to know the kind of person I am. I may not look okay on the outside.. But I’m funny, nice, kind, down to earth, not judgmental, accepting, helpful, and I’m super easy to talk to. That’s the same for every other girl on that list that you all put down. Just because we don’t look perfect on the outside does not mean we are ugly. If that’s your idea of ugly then I feel sorry for you. Like seriously? Get a life.

Many commenters supported the teen and reassured her, rightly, that she is incredibly beautiful.
