I'm only 14 and I already have some large pores on my nose. My skin gets really oily sometimes, so that might be the reason. But what can I do to make them smaller? Is it even possible to make them smaller? Please give me advice. Thanks.

There is no way to permanently shrink pores. You can minimize their appearance by keeping your pores clear and reducing oiliness.
Clay masks absorb oils & temporarily tighten pores. Beauty w/o Cruelty's clay mask is a good bargain. Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask is another good one - it has benzoyl peroxide & clay; works best as a mask.
Some home remedies:
Aspirin will promote cell turnover & keep pores clear. Crush 4 - 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask. Or mix them with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask or aloe vera gel instead of water. Apply a thin layer to your clean face & let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off w/ cool water.
Apply a thin layer of plain milk of magnesia, let it dry for 15-20 minutes, rinse off w/ cool water & a clean wash cloth. Plain milk of magnesia will absorb excess oil & temporarily tighten pores.

Wash with a good cleanser like Neutrogena or Clean and Clear, use a little powder or oil blotting sheets during the day, and at night use Neutrogena Rapid Clear gel or clay masks like Queen Helene Mint Julep.
You can't really shrink your pores, but you can remove blackheads, control oil, and make them appear smaller. Cold water splashed on your face in the morning will help temporarily too.

the best advice i can give you, which i got from my dermatologist, was to wash your face with cold water twice a day, because cold makes your pores smaller and if you do that consistently, your pores will eveentually become smaller without using chemicals.

I absolutely love the Biore pore cleansing strips for removing the stuff that clogs up and enlarges my nose pores.

Go out to Walgreens and pick up some stridex or try taking some rubbing alchohol and dabbing a little bit onto a cutip and wiping it on your pores, just do this every night. it'll dry them out.
