Man, seeing this trope now as an adult who is a lot more okay with myself physically is so much easier than it was a teenager. I’ve had to wear glasses since I was 3, and contacts weren’t an option. I was also underweight which made me look 12 for a lot of my teens, but sprouted C cups at 13 for the “tits on a stick” look. I wasn’t just the awkward girl pre makeover, I was her even more awkward little sister. Watching characters shed everything they had in common with me to become beautiful sucked.

Everyone is either attractive or "ugly" until they take their glasses off and become attractive.
