(inspired by Hareem’s thread)
How often you guys get to listen to this line?
I was an ugly child. My sisters and cousins used to run around chasing me around the park and called me medusa.
25 years later, i have the last laugh 
lol.
know of any similar stories?
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
When I was 16 one my mum's closest friends who hadn't seen me for years and years said 'Thank God you grew up pretty cos you were an ugly child, not to mention horrid'.
I said thanks and then cried cos I always thought I was a lush baby. Clearly not.
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
Yep, I too used to be the 'ugly duckling', but now that label is a distant memory. I'm always getting compliments. :)
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
Yeah I get that a lot.
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
Oh I know I was an ugly kid. Don't need anyone to tell me that.
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
guess right now I'm going through the ugly duckling phase. :D
My sister used to be an ugly child, she was fat and just ugly but when she reached 16 woah, every boy was after her. But it ended when she was 24.
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”

Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."

Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
There was a girl in our group of friends in highschool...braces, chest hi trousers, overweight, short curly hair and a face full of pimples. Very low self esteem too...basically the loser u see in teen movies ...10 yrs down the lane.... Just got added by her on fb ..... And i didnt ecognise her AT ALL!!! She is HOT! Sim, trim, pimples re gine, hair are long and lush.... Its like she stepped out of a magazine! I think i may have salivated a bit too... Thats how hubba hubba she looked! And the fiance.... Yowzah! Dream couple u could say.That was one ugly duckling to swan transformation i'll never get around to fully understanding... But im happy for her.... Cuz back then and even now, she is a good person to be around :)

Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
Do people actually say such things??? That's so mean!
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
arrghhh…those memories…
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
*..............lol isn't that a bit too harsh to say somethin like that to anyone?.... *
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
It's yet another backhanded compliment...and so is the one that Hareem posted in her thread. However, I think that Afshi's comment might even be seen as less offensive compared to the one Hareem poasted.....because people tend to be more concerned about how they currently look than how they looked in the past. But either way.....not the best wording for either of them.
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
No child is ugly. Every child is
"Maan Ka Laal",
"Aankh Ka Taara"
"Lakht e Jigar"
Waghera Waghera......

lol...personally I never thought she was an ugly child and she like any other girl went through the ugly stage during early teens.
