Ashamed of my facial features

Ever since I was 11 I started caring about how I look. Something that gets me down the most is my nose, it has a bump in the middle and from the side I think it looks horrible, from the front it's perfectly fine, but I get so embarrassed by it when I walk past people in the street I hold my hand by the side of my face pretending to move a part of my hair out the way so people won't recognize the bump or say something about it. People always say it's not that bad but when I see other girls with really nice small feminine noses I can't help but compare myself. I'm 18 now and it still gets me down, I can't stand it. Even when I'm sitting on a bus and I see my reflection of the side of my nose i just can't look at it. It's something I just can't learn to love. Whenever I see someone with a bump in their nose they look perfectly fine. But with me it makes me feel really bad of myself. Do I just think it's worse because it's my own feature?

    You should go out with the hunch back of Notre Dame. That way your nose bump will seem insignificant.

    maybe get nose surgery if it bothers you so much?

    Draw a small arrow pointing to your boobs and most guys won't notice a little bump on your nose.
    One of my ex's had a bump on her nose and it never bothered me at all. We had a great relationship.

    Make up will probably take the attention off your nose and redirect it towards the rest of your face which I'm sure is beautiful

    I've felt similar in the past about my own face, but all I can tell you is that it probably isn't nearly as bad or as noticeable as you think it is. Beauty isn't forever anyway. In 40 years you'll all be in the same boat and your former attractiveness (or lack thereof) totally irrelevant.
