" &amp;quot;I always feel so self-conscious of my nose. It&amp;#039;s probably not as big as I think it is, and I know I am more critical of myself than anyone else will ever be. I hate my profile, and every time my crush is standing anywhere where he can see my profile, I always turn away or rest my head in my hand to cover it up. I always look at other girls&amp;#039; noses and think, I wish I had her nose. It is so small and cute. I just want to feel confident about my nose.&amp;quot; \u2014Anna, 15  Anna, everyone has something on their body that they obsess about. It&amp;#039;s totally normal. I&amp;#039;ll tell you a secret: I have uneven nostrils! Perhaps you can&amp;#039;t tell by looking at my photo on this site, but I have one nostril that goes sideways and one that goes up and down. Don&amp;#039;t laugh (well, okay, you can), but it used to be something that drives me crazy. I have thought a lot about getting it &amp;quot;fixed,&amp;quot; and then I realize that if I can&amp;#039;t come to embrace my imperfections, then neither can anyone else. So, for now, I am working on loving my uneven nostrils \u2014 it gives me character! But I understand if girls feel particularly uncomfortable about their noses. A few things to consider: You are still growing into your body and face \u2014 so your face may fill out and you may grow into your nose as you get a bit older. Not exactly what you wanted to hear \u2014 but the truth nonetheless. And try not to hide your face when your crush is around \u2014 instead, hold your head high (he&amp;#039;ll notice your confidence before he sees your nose), and if you act insecure he&amp;#039;ll know something&amp;#039;s up.
