When I was in high school I had this one classmate who always wore a hairband. I thought it was just part of her style but at some point I heard that she was very insecure about her ears sticking out and the hairband was there to cover them. She also said that she was saving up for plastic surgery to correct them (I remember hearing this from her). Now I randomly remembered this and started wondering if she actually had the surgery or maybe ended up accepting that part of herself.
