Hey, im 11 years old and lots of boys in my class were saying i have a fat nose and i need to do plastic surgery. I am really insecure about my nose and i also told my mom, my mom told my teacher and the boys stopped but still i feel really insecure and i dont know what to do.
Hey, thanks for writing in to luna! It is tough dealing with insecurities, particularly about your appearance.
It's important to remember that everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way, and you don't need to change anything about yourself to be happy or feel confident.
It's great that your mom and teacher stepped in to help, but it's normal to still feel a bit sensitive about it. These boys sound horrible and are probably insecure themselves. PLEASE don't listen to their comments – rise above it!
For now, try to focus each day on the things you love about yourself, and surround yourself with positive people who appreciate you for who you are. Over time, hopefully these positive steps can cement themselves and help you feel better about your nose.
If you're still struggling, it might be helpful to talk to a trusted adult like your mom or a school counsellor who can offer more personalised support 🌟
Hang in there, you really are beautiful 💖
