I hate my forehead like intensely, it's really big IMO.
The lady who cut my bangs before my last hair cut nearly gave me blunt bangs when I asked for side bangs, which I wanted to help hide my forehead. When I went to get my hair cut like two weeks ago, the lady did what she could to help make my bangs look better, but basically told me that they need to grow before much can be done.
Are there any other ways to minimize how large my forehead looks?

I think you look fine. Really. You could experiment with different ways of styling your hair but other than that I'm not sure there's anything you can do until your hair grows out.

i've tried that, and the only thing I've seemed to manage is making it worse.. Maybe it's just me? I have major issues.

I think you're making more of it than you should. When I look at your pictures I don't think "big forehead" at all. The thought wouldn't even have crossed my mind if you hadn't mentioned it.

You should see my forhead x( LOL
I'd say to straighten them to the side, of flip them in the front( if they're long enough)

I guess I am making a big deal out of it. Like I said, I've had issues with myself since I was about 6 years old, I find any tiny flaw and I'll go nuts over fixing it.

Stick to side parts.
Although I don't think your forehead is large by any means and I wouldn't bother saying that unless it was true.

Definitely grow your hair out and get side bangs--everyone I know with a big forehead looks AMAZING with sidebangs.

I didn't notice, until you said something. I don't think there is much you can do other than change your thinking around. You're a pretty girl and your forehead isn't bringing you down in the least.

have you ever thought about front bangs? i can't think of a celebrity that has them..but when i think front bangs i think hannah montana...but not as curly..leave them kinda straight. they hide youre whole forehead.

i agree with changing your part. try parting it to the sides. it could make a difference. but honesty, your really pretty and i think you look fine. i would have never noticed it. hopefully your hair feels normal soon lol

Try contouring with makeup. Darken the top of your forehead near the hairline, and the just beside your chin on either side. This'll help draw attention away from those areas, making them recede, and thus giving the illusion of a more oval-shaped face (considered ideal)

I'll try it. I'm not sure if I want to make my face more oval though.
Thanks.

No prob. just btw, oval is the shape everyone should strive for. it's the (classically and modernly) most attractive face shape. Contouring can be achieved by using a foundation one to two shades darker than your normal shade. You don't want to do too much either, or it'll look obvious. and remember to blend blend blend. Remember, things you make darker will recede, and things you make lighter will come forward. Good for making a nose bigger/smaller, lips fuller/flatter, etc.

I just feel like my face is oval enough. I'll definitely try it though, who knows it might look nicer.
Thanks for the advice :)

No prob. I posted exactly how to contour your face (along with some other tips) in the "Beauty Tips" thread in this forum, if anyone's interested.
