Why won't the bump on my nose flatten when I press it with my fingers (isn't it cartilage)?

popoppy20
So I have this ugly hump that is ruining my self esteem on my nose. I can't get dates. My nose is small and I like the tip, but the stupid bump throws my whole face off. I am too wimpy for surgery and will never have the money for it. I figured my nose is cartilage, so I'm trying to flatten the bony little convex nasal bump with my fingers. So far it's not working. How do I flatten the bump on my nose WITHOUT surgery OR fillers? I need a straight nose ASAP. i'm starting college, need a boyfriend
