Frustrated About Decision
I know I sound like the biggest baby in the world but really I try not to complian but I can t help it.  I just found out the I can t get a surgery to fix my ears.
I will try your suggestions its just hard because im not old enough to do this alone. My mom has to do all this and she kind of does things very very slow.
I did ask my mom about a payment plan but she said no. She said she can t right now. I really dont know what that means though. I guess financially she can t.
Well thank you.

When we are unhappy about a physical trait that we cannot change, the frustration level can be unmanageable.  Some are unhappy because they are short, some because they are taller than all the other girls their age and even taller than the boys.  Some have thin and limp hair and others are unhappy because their hair is so bushy and fat.

The point is,  there are things about us that make us unique individuals.  Those things aren't always beautiful or even attractive, but they are unique. 

Some of these physical characteristics can be changed, others cannot.  Many people have to wait until they are older, or have more money to make those changes.

In your case, you may have to wait.  Set your goals and work towards them.  Right now there is nothing you can do but to accept this and do your best not to let it rule your life.

You have probably already tried different hair styles to work best with your features.  Be creative, don't let it be the focus in your life.  Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.
