@Mangekyou no Jason (because that's how you do it in Japanese *wink wink*), there is such thing as a neither. You're not a girl, so you don't know that there is such thing as being neither beautiful or ugly. And plus, if you even have the nerve to go up to someone who's less physically beautiful and tell them that they're ugly, wow. Ouch. I see you have no problem when it comes to hurting someone's feelings intentionally. It doesn't matter if you think they're beautiful or ugly but saying it directly to their face is too much. Sure, it's fine to have your own opinion on their looks (not that it even matters), but don't say it to them. Haven't you learned the basic saying "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it"?

You know how Sakura was when she was a kid: insecure, shy and had zero self-confidence. She broke up her friendship with Ino not just because of Sasuke, but to step out of Ino's shadow. Ino was like, her only friend and Sakura really admired her because she was cool and nice to her and Sakura really wanted to be like her. Was it the best thing to do? No of course not. But it really sucks when you're inside someone else's shadow and Sakura broke her friendship with Ino because she didn't want to be that person anymore, she wanted to be Sakura Haruno not the-girl-who-follows-Ino-Yamanaka-like-a-puppy.

@Thekillman while I do agree with you that you don't have to be just beautiful or just ugly, I think Sakura was only average-looking in part 1. I think she became really pretty when she got older.
