Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

you answered my question earlier about my face and I really appreciate that.
I went to a surgeon and he felt my face and said that there wasn't anything,although I don't really trust him
I looked back at my baby pictures and saw that I didin't have that half face look younger,it only started after 14 or so
My mom thinks it's because i slept on one side of my face all the time during those years which kind of altered my structure,like when u wear small shoes all the time and your toes will kinda shrink
the wierd thing too is that the side of my face would sometimes be nearly normal,then sometimes buldge crazily and sometimes change shape,it's just wierd.
so is it really a medical problem?cause my face does not seem to be growing ,if there is a tumor it should right?
or is it because i slept on one side too often?
thanks a lot (link)

WEll it COULD be due to the way you slept, that is not impossible. But I think it would have had to have started when you were very little. When your skull bones were still growing and taking shape. I have read about ancient civiliazations that did stuff like this to infants on purpose, and they did suceed in changing the shape of their heads. And like you said about feet too.
STill I wonder, in your case does it seem to be bone protruding, or is it just soft tissue?
I wish I could help more. If you went to see a surgeon, but he just felt your face, well I don't know if that is enough, he could have ordered a cat scan or an MRI and then he could have seen inside your face and then you would all know once and for all, what the problem is. Well at least if there is a turmor or something. I am willing to do more research for you, but I think I would need to see a picture, you can even send a picture of just the side that is the problem. But I would email it to me, and not put it here, because even private questions, end up in my column. It is up to you. cobweb2@comcast.net
But if you can get your mom to have doctor send you for a CAT SCAN or an MRI, then they can see inside, and then you can rule out a tumor or something. You are right, tumors do continue to grow.
But I am just concerned about your well being and that no stone be unturned until you know exactly what the problem is. If it is just a deformity caused by sleeping the wrong way for too long, perhaps the surgeon can fix it, but most likely they won't recommend that until you have stopped growing. I hope you get the answers you deserve.
Michele
