I have a funnel chest, it's not that bad, it's not as bad like some peoples pictures, but I can't run very long distance without shortness of breath. Whenever I go swimming with my friends i'm very self concious. Some people even make fun of me. I pretend like it doesn't faze me but it does. I've just turned 17 and I think I want the surgery. I haven't even talked to my parents about this and how I feel about it.
