SO PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE! I HATE BEING MADE FUN OF AND GETTING HELD BACK FROM THINGS I LOVE! please and thank you! 13/f/fl

You probably don't want to hear me say this but i am going to. you shouldn't be ashamed about your ears, they are what make you unique. ok there i said it =] now i'm going to move on to helping you...

you said that you have a lot of friends. so just stick by them. if they are your true friends then they won't make fun of you for your ears. you need to learn to be more confident about your ears, because if you are ashamed of them and keep trying to hide them, that will just draw even more attention to them. eventually people will forget about them, or they will stop talking about them.

think of it this way, everybody has at least one thing that they don't like about themselves. with me it is my teeth (they suck hahaha). with some people it is their skin, or their weight, or height, or maybe they have an embarrassing birthmark. your not alone, nobody is perfect.

if you want to try to hide your ears then wear your hair down. try curling or scrunching your hair which will add more volume and body to your hair which might help cover your ears. do you have a habit of putting your hair behind your ears? if you do then try to break this habit. everytime that you catch yourself doing it, stop and keep it down. you could always try talking to your hairdresser about thickening your hair.

about you being called names. people only make fun of you to make themselves feel better. don't let them get to you. if you aren't bothered by the names then they will eventually stop calling you them.

you should really sit down with your parents or just your mom if it makes you more comfortable. or if you have a sister try talking to her. tell them just how much your ears are bothering you and how people are calling you names. if you are truly set on getting the surgery then talk to your parents.

just look on the brightside and realize that there are so many things that are more important then your ears. just concentrate on your school work and take up a sport or join a club to get your mind off your ears.

good luck with everything and feel free to ask me anymore questions that you might have =]
