Advantages and Disadvantages of Beauty and Ugliness

Advantages of beauty are that people are more likely to help you with things and want to be friends with you. People are more likely to seek you out in a crowd and want to be with you. Beautiful people get help with things when they need it and when they don't need it because of their appearance. People strive to become friends with them and thus do work for them as a means of befriending them.
Disadvantages to beauty are that sometimes people don't take you seriously. It is thought sometimes that pretty people just rely on their looks to get them through life and don't have to learn as much as others because people will always be there to assist them.
Advantages to ugliness are that you will have more challenges in life and can thus become a stronger and better because of your experiences. These challenges can also be seen as a disadvantage but I find that in the end they really help you out to become a more knowledgeable person . Being less attractive can allow you to get farther ahead in things and learn more because people aren't always trying to do all your work for you.
Disadvantages to ugliness are that you may dislike yourself because of your appearance. Uglier people may also have difficulties in life because of people who have prejudices against people who aren't as attractive as they are.
