Is It Normal for Your Nose to Grow at a Really Fast Rate as a Teenager?

Asked By:Jane_Doe in Manchester

My nose is growing really fast. When I started secondary school (age 11) I had a normal sized nose with an ordanary shape. My nose started getting bigger and by the end of year 10 I had a huge nose and everyone always picked up on it but it was still a "normal shape" and was slightly curved in but now (half way through year 11, age 15) I have a large ridge on top. Is it normal for your nose to grow that fast and change that much in 6 months?
