help! teenage girl with large unsightly mole on neck. i find it repulsive and can't bear to look at it or have others see it, so i constantly make sure it is not visible. it is ruining my life and preventing me to do things that i really want to do. surgery is an option, but will leave a very long scar along my jawline. would you rather see a girl with a mole or a large scar???

Certain moles can be cancerous. These ones have irregular color patterns and soft, ragged edges.
Has your mole grown larger over your lifetime? If it has, it's going to keep growing, and you should get it taken off before it leaves an even longer scar.
I'd need a picture of the mole to say anything definite, but it's probably not as bad as you seem to think. If the skin is smooth, of an even color, and the mole's edges are even or neatly defined, it might even be charming. I'm not joking, here. Since it's not actually on your face, but around the neck where people are used to seeing dark-colored objects like hair, it's probably not conspicuous or shocking. Of course, if it's raised up round (more like a tumor than a mole) it really does need to go.
If you do decide to get it taken off, do not, do not, do not skimp on the surgeon. Get someone who knows what he's doing, otherwise the scar could actually reshape nearby areas of your face.
As for the scar, you might end up looking like you got shanked in the throat. It would make for some interesting party banter, but do you really want to be answering "What happened? Did someone slit your throat?" to every fifth person for the rest of your life? The mole might be better.
Do you have your ears pierced? Any problems with scarring in the area? If you have any other scars, does their color contrast with your skin? If so, that's a predictor for the scar under your jaw.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Get rid of it! For crying out loud, moles can be pre-cancerous. Would you rather live with a scar or die with a mole?
Hey get it removed, and then tell people you got the scar crashing through a police barricade while protesting an appearance by George Bush in your home town. You'll be a hero!

Too much makeup is a turnoff. Not as big as a women smoking though... Too thin's also on the list, but you know, being pretty is all about the "package deal". I don't have specific criteria. A girl is cute or not. And that includes personality, yes. The definition of beautiful is subjective, and any guy could have any answer. Girls, you are beautiful.
