Well being ethnically lebanese I was born with a big nose.
With things like 'bratz' (which don't even HAVE noses) and other things, I think it's teaching young girls that they aren't pretty unless they get a nose job. What are ya'lls views on this? |

 Yes, that's right. Group: Member Posts: 246 Joined: Oct 2005 Member No: 281,524 |
chinese as well.
i think my nose is too small... it's tiny and flat. people should like you for what you have to offer, not for how your nose looks... |

i'm chinese but my nose looks fine and isn't really flat.
society isn't out to destroy the self esteems of girls with "big" noses. those bratz dolls have gigantic heads but i doubt it's not glamourize people with big heads or huge eyes. besides, they're not that good looking and are kind of scary...  who cares, be happy with what you're with. not everyone has a great nose and there are so many complications with plastic surgery. at least you're just about 18 and can barely fill out a bra  |

About the Bratz doll thing.. Well I mean, it's just in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? Anyway, I'd have to say that okay it is promoting that girls should "look a certain way" in order to fit in. I wouldn't exactly direct it ONLY to noses, rather, I'd have it directed towards the whole figure, as well. Dolls in general, as well as models, actresses, singers, etc. often appear to have the perfect body (to girls). To be thin, tall, having a certain chest size, clear skin, perfect tan, perfect hair, perfect facial aspects, etc. are often what many people think about, not just girls. I'd have to say that the dolls pose a definitely potential of influencing girls to believe this, but keep in mind that girls who collect these dolls might collect them because they are cute, it's fun to collect them, or just like to play with them...

Oh lord. If anyone (girls included) believed that what a doll looked like should represent what human beings should like than most men would be terrified if they weren't as anatomically correct as a Ken doll. And what a sad world that would be.

And I believe there was something about how the Barbie doll, if she was a real life person, would have a 40-inch chest or something with a tiny waist.  <begin random> I'm part Chinese. I d have a flat wide nose. -_-" </end random> |

I think you're making a big deal out of nothing. Especially since your family's from a different country, you're going to look a little different. Nobody's perfect, just accept yourself for who you are and don't let people pick on you for stupid things like looks.

I have a pretty big nose. Really, I don't care. Nose jobs are disgusting.

I like my nose.
I think it`s not big nor small. I think dolls and stuff encourage you to be perfect. When no one is perfect ya know? |

Hmm... I have a "jewish nose" as they like to call it. I'm not exactly fond of it, but I am always told that I am pretty, so obviously no one seems to care about my nose. Besides, with the other people I know that have big noses, it doesn't bother me at all, so why should I be bothered with myself?
I like to poke fun at it though, hehe. It's better to have a humorous outlook on it rather than a negative one. |

Girl you dont have to worry about brats dolls. They are ugly, big head and huge feet?? Oh no. Personally to me, girls with big noses can be kinda ugly. But some girls know how to work it. A friend I have when she first came to my class the first thing everyone noticed was the size of her nose. We all called her snoz. Which was wrong, but funny as hell. But I becamefriends with her and it turned out she was a cool person. But of course later on in life we found out that she pierced that snoz and started smoking and gave head jobs and I really dont know where Im going with this. But youre probably not one of those girls so you have nothing to worry about. |

actually i always thought bratz dolls looked like whores...
 but i guess 'small' noses are always considered to be the most desirable. but i've never really thought of people being ugly just because of one aspect. not that big noses are ugly... but that's kind of what this topic's suggesting |
