i used to be able to breathe perfect thru my nose. When I hit puberty i saw a small bump and got insecur about it. for months i pressed on the bridge with fair pressure (but no pain) to try to smooth out the bump, in hopes it would eventually look a bit straighter.

Did I cause this ! :( Also my nose looks crooked:(
