My long-distance ex cheated on me with a girl from my own school, and now she sends me daily snaps flaunting her flat stomach and clear skin just to rub it in. I already cry every morning over my acne and weight, but passing them in the hallway while getting those streaks makes me feel completely ugly and broken. How do I stop letting her make me feel disgusting? 💔

Deep breath: you weren’t replaced by someone better, you just crossed paths with two people running on pure cruelty and cheap drama.
First move, zero hesitation: block her on Snapchat right now. Don’t worry about looking petty or breaking a streak—watching her flex for an audience she’s deliberately hurting only feeds her ego and drains yours. People who actually feel secure in their own skin don't weaponize angles and lighting to kick someone who's down. She’s doing this precisely because she knows it hits a nerve. That isn’t a beauty contest; that’s just pathetic bullying.
Your skin is doing normal teenage hormone things, and your body is keeping you alive through a genuinely awful week. It doesn’t need to look like an airbrushed billboard to deserve respect. In the hallway tomorrow, put your earbuds in, link arms with a real friend, and look straight past them like they're empty lockers. They aren't the prize—they're just background noise.
