Everyone has at least one part of their face or body that they are insecure about or wish they could change. I would rather have your ears than my nose, someone you know is probably thinking. Words do hurt and people can be very unkind. Especially at a young age, people tend to be insensitive to one another and have too much critisism of each other. There is not one person who is or thinks of themselves as truly above ridicule on some level. Attitude is going to really determine how you get through this. Are you gutsy enough to be proud of your ears? They sound cute, and "it is our imperfections that make us beautiful," as supermodel Tyra Banks often says. "Perfect is boring." She says that a lot, too. Yes, you can always get them pinned later, but you may not want to by then. If you want to create a focal point other than your ears, then play up other areas of your face and create a style that is pretty and simple. A hairdresser will be able to give you the best tips for your hair. Probably no severe straight cuts or long and straight. An off the side part and some body or big curls may give you a softer effect. Most likely, you will discover that ears will not keep you from having fun, friends, or boyfriends. The way you handle your insecurity or rude comments will make the most difference. If you can really believe in yourself and let it be okay that you are not perfect, but big deal, who is? Then, people will tire of saying anything to tease you. You will make yourself almost unteasable, if you come off like it does not bother you that like all humans, no one is perfect.
