My daughter is having trouble finding a date to homecoming dance?

Question

Do you think I should pay for her to have a nose job? She is only 15 but her self-esteem can use a boost.

Answer 1

Unless her nose is really a big factor I wouldn't even consider it. She IS only 15. She has a lot of maturing to do. My face changed a lot from 15 to now (im 18) The only thing you should be doing right now is complimenting her and telling her she is very beautiful.

Is her nose really that bad? Im not trying to be rude I just want to understand.

Answer 2

first of all you need to know that she is actually making a real effort to get a date because if her wish is to have a nose job she is going to tell you i can't get a date dad no guys want to be seen with me bcoz of my nose. approach the issue carefully and talk to her about her feelings personally i think she is a little too young for surgery because her body is still growing and developing and wont stop until she is around 18-20 and at this age she is properly developed physically and mentally enough to make this decision for herself. but do tell her that surgery alone won't fix her problems she needs to be told that she is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. keep reassuring her and tell her that when she comes of age if she still has her mind set on surgery then she can go ahead and you will pay. but 15 is too young to make this decision. there are so many risks and if the nose job goes wrong she will feel twice as bad. have a heart to heart with her 15 is a tricky age for a lot of girls and a lot of it is hormones and eanting to be the popular girl that fits in. she has to understand that no matter what she is a special person in her own right.  

Answer 3

This is cliche but if they dont like her for who she is she shouldnt want to be with them anyways.  And I really hope you are kidding with the whole nose job thing.  What kind of parent says well honey maybe you'll be pretty with a nose job?  You as the parent shouldve been building her self esteem her whole life.  This is your fault, not hers.

Answer 4

well if you had a daughter ide say no !! but since your not a dad and you dont have a daughter ide say grow up kid  

Answer 5

WHAT?!?!?!

Look. If your daughter can't find a date to a dance. There's something MORE to it than looks. Not to mention, giving her the power to change something that drastically at such a young age will lead to Plastic Surgery ADDICTION.

NO.

NO.

NO.

NO.

Do NOT do it!

Answer 6

She Doesnt Need a Nose Job Everyone is Beautiful in there own mind but if she wants a nose job then i say go for it but i bet she doesnt need one she just needs to get out there and meet new people to get a date

Answer 7

instead of getting a nose job to boost her self-esteem until she finds something else she doesn't like about herself and pays to get it fixed........why don't you help her work on liking herself, for herself......maybe some self-esteem workshops.

Answer 8

No!  Plastic surgery is not the answer and the homecoming dance is not the be-all-to-end-all for her high school career.  She needs to learn to work with what God gave her and ignore the fools who judge her solely based on her outward appearance.

Answer 9

she' too young for a major surgery like that.

also, how great a father you are for thinking "boys don't like my little girl because she's ugly"

she'll find a boy that likes her big nose and all. and any boy that rejects her for it isn't the kind of boy you, as a dad, should want her dating.

Answer 10

I am sure that having you pay for expensive surgery will really give her self esteem a real boost.

Dude-- you build self esteem by accomplishing things for yourself and by yourself. You buying her self esteem for her will only cripple her in her growing up years ahead. Do it and you might as well sign on for the long haul and do everything for her later on.

If she really thinks she needs a nose job let her earn all or most of the money herself. That will build self esteem.

Be a good daddy and let her struggle just like the rest of us. It really does build character.

Answer 11

no.

of course not.

That would only affirm her insecurities.

besides she is still growing and her features may change, wait a while.

If she cant find a date, its because those losers don't deserve her.

Answer 12

Sounds like a TROLL to me..the "DAD"...not the daughter....

Answer 13

Are you totally out of your tree, I think the money would be better spent getting yourself a frontal lobotomy.

Answer 14

If her nose is this big at 15, imagine what it will be at 19.  Get it fixed now!
