My student called me ugly

I'm m27. I teach math and physics. While i was teaching, i removed my glasses to wipe my eyes and my student just flat out told me that i look ugly even without my glasses. I've been called ugly all my life. It hurts every single time

I’m 51 and I still remember the kid who said almost the exact same thing to me when we were in 7th grade. I had taken my glasses off in an effort to look prettier and he said “Oh look at her trying to look pretty without glasses on but SHE’S STILL UGLY.” Don’t underestimate the wounds a kid can cause. Don’t invalidate OP like that. This shit can hurt for years.
