My nose is wide, big, and sticks out too much. And I have a little bump on my bridge because that part got broken and never quite healed right. It really looks out of proportion. It bothers me a lot because I'm the only female in my family that has it. When I go pick up my little brother, the kids there ask if I'm his brother. Never mind that I'm wearing a skirt?
When that happens, I'm too embarrassed to say anything.
And people my age and older often think I'm one of those boys that has a feminine face.
It really lowers my self esteem.
And it's annoying me because I honestly don't think I'll ever get surgery for it. I don't like surgery and I don't want to people think I'm so superficial because it's only my nose that bugs me so much.
I don't know what to do. I've got my hair cut to bring attention away from nose. Make up doesn't distract all that much.

Chances are, the people who will try to call you superficial are really pretty and goodlooking and they don't know how it feels to have a different-looking nose :) And you should tell them that if they try to tease you, because making you feel bad about your decisions is VERY immature. Also, I also have a bump nose thing (I'll probably get the surgery sometime when I'm older too) and I hide it for now with a cute bang cut. :) If they think you look like a boy, get a girly-er cut :D Goodluck!

Anyway, try not to worry about what other people think, it's hard I know, but especially in the case of perfect strangers they don't count anyway. Just be happy and smile a lot...If people call you a boy, don't be afraid to correct them...They are just being ignorant and aren't really taking time to notice you. Their mistake, not yours.
