I've always been insecure about my big nose, and last year at school it seemed like everybody started making fun of it. I tell myself I don't care what they think, but I really do.

How can I not care if people say my nose is big?

    So What?
    When you waste time being hurt by what others say, you are putting your worth in their hands. No wonder people are cruel! It's all about self-esteem, and making one's self feel superior. If you have enough confidence and respect for yourself (which of course you do!), you can look past what these people say (who are so insecure they have to lash out at others) and move on with your life. Don't let you nose, or any other "flaws", define you. Rise above! And never forget to say, "yeah, so my nose may be big (and beautiful) but so what I'm also good at other stuff and a good friend. You can't touch that."

    Love Yourself No Matter What
    People make fun of my nose, but - to be honest and not conceited - I am very pretty. And my nose is longer than an "average" nose. Don't let it bring you down. You are gorgeous! Keep your head up.

    Idiots!
    People are idiots. They're ignorant, and you can't let them get to you. I know insults are, well, insulting, but you just need to try your best to ignore them.

    Big Noses Rule!
    Most of my favorite actors have big noses (Alan Rickman for instance) and I find it incredibly sexy. Some signficant other out there will adore your big nose and you'll be happy! The only reason they're making fun of your nose is because they are insecure themselves. By pointing out other people's insecurities they make themselves feel better. So ignore those people and love your big nose!

    Old Joke!
    If they just now started making fun of your nose, of course it's going to hurt you. But soon the jokes will become old and they won't even bother you anymore. You must learn to love every part of your body. People hurt others to boost their own confidence - remember that.

    It's Beautiful
    You know, as an artist, I adore big noses. The only profiles I will paint are those of large, aquiline noses. Your face has character, a difference that makes you stand out. They're jealous because your body (albeit without your consent) refuses to conform to their standards of beauty, which, frankly, I think are boring. Embrace your big nose! It makes you beautiful.

    I used to have the biggest nose, and everyone would call me clay nose, and I'd just be like "Yeah, I have a big nose! I've known that for a while, and your point is?" That usually gets to them. anyways i grew into mine i think its still a little big but eh i guess its one of my unique qualitys

    Confidence
    I totally feel you on this one. When I was in the 6th grade, there was this girl who would always make fun of my nose, and I never really noticed it until then. I'm in high school now, and I've learned how make other parts stand out.

My eyes are a big focus, and nobody ever talks about my nose anymore. But it's all a confidence thing...you gotta learn how to embrace it. It's a mind thing once you ignore people who make fun of you. They'll move on. I wouldn't want an average nose anyway. Who wants to go through life being the same as everyone else? =)
