I am a female in my early twenties in college. I want a nose job (and also braces for my messed up teeth) after I graduate college, but my mother and younger brother are trying to talk me out of it.
My appearance has been a personal problem of mine apart from my studies since I was 10 years old. Guys (and a few girls and even teachers) would call me ugly. My first crush in my junior secondary broke my heart by telling me I was unattractive and he ended up choosing a girl 10x prettier than me. I can list a lot of girls who I think look better than me.
I have never had a boyfriend and I don't feel like I'll ever get married if I have to live with the way I look because at least 50 - 60% of guys only care about looks than personality. I was shocked when my mom objected to me getting surgery when I get older because I thought parents weren't supposed to care about anything else their children do as long as they are doing well in their studies. Although I'm in college studying law and doing well, I'm still not happy and I cannot wait until I graduate.
