Hi, my name is Jasmine and I’ve hated my nose since kids were old enough to bully me about it. My entire life kids have shamed me because of my nose. They would say I looked like a monkey or a gorilla, that you could sure tell I was of African descent…etc. I never really told my parents about it because I mean what could they do; they didn’t have the money to help me nor would they have thought of such an idea. I have my father’s nose, large and wide. While it doesn’t look bad on him because he is a male with a large face, It looks very terrible on me. I have a small young face that would have some potential if it wasn’t for my large ugly nose. Every morning I wake up and there it is, I look in the mirror or take a picture and it is still there, reminding me of how much I hate it. Better yet, when someone posts a picture of me on social media that I didn’t get to see first, to say “no please don’t put that anywhere”, it reminds me that everyone sees the nose I hate. My friends never knew why I never took pictures, but it was because of my nose. I feel like it holds me back from so much and completely ruins my confidence. When I smile or laugh it just gets bigger so I try not to. I think about my nose constantly, when I have to take pictures, talk to new people or even ones I already know, I think about it the entire time. I have been hounding my mother about getting surgery and she would love to help me because she sees how much it brings me down, but she continues to say she doesn’t have the money, which I totally understand. She also tries to say, “Jasmine you are a very beautiful young lady”, which could be true if I had a smaller nose. My mom doesn’t totally understand my thought process behind wanting to change the look of my nose, but she is also caucasian with a small, cute nose, I wouldn’t expect her to get it. I like the general shape of my nose I just wish my nose bridge could be raised up, and that my nose could be reshaped to not be so wide (make my nostrils smaller). I am about to attend college in the fall (August 11th, 2017) and I would love more than anything to have this procedure done before then. I am going to be meeting new people and trying new things while thinking of how terrible my nose looks everyday. My nose ruins my life honestly. If I didn’t have such terrible confidence from it I wouldn’t even ask my parents or make it such a big deal, but it is. I realize there a thousands of people who are unhappy with themselves and they are probably more deserving than I am but I ask that you please just consider helping me. I would never be able to thank you enough.
