AceShowbiz - Britney Spears was always the "ugly duckling" while growing up in Louisiana because she constantly compared herself to the "pretty people in the south."
The "I'm a Slave 4 U" hitmaker took to Twitter to open up on her body image as she showcased her new bangs - the first time she's sported a fringe since the third grade.
"I know I need bangs!!!!! Who would have thought bangs could make you look waaaaay younger ?!?!" she penned.
Britney explained, "I stopped having bangs in the 3rd grade and I remember like it was yesterday .... it was such a big deal to expose my forehead …. only pretty people in the south could do that and I never felt pretty enough to pull it off."
"All the beauty pageant girls did it but I never felt beauty pageants were my thing … I had bad teeth and felt like an ugly duckling."
The singer said that she also "met with a modeling agency but I wasn't pretty enough," which lead to her saying, "Maybe I can be like the older girls and show my forehead."
However, when the "Stronger" singer tried it, the 38-year-old admitted, "It looked sooooo bad but I thought I was gorgeous!!!!
"I think I knew it didn't look good but I did it because I thought it made me cool .... and I've pretty much had it like that ever since !!!!" she added.
"People choose different ways to protect themselves …. when I pull my bangs in front of my head I feel like I'm protected ... almost like I'm in 3rd grade again!!!" she concluded
