As a child, Sakura lacked self-confidence and was highly self-conscious about here large forehead. As such, she would cover her forehead with her bangs. It was not until she met Ino Yamanaka who would later defend her against her bullies and tell her that if she hid her forehead, it would only make it stand out more. It was after this that the two became inseparable friends and Sakura started to become more bold and self-confident. As a student, Sakura was noted to be an honour student, and even to this day, Sakura's scholastic intelligence is hardly rivalled by any of her peers. Despite this, however, as a teenage girl, Sakura became more interested in her looks as opposed to practising her ninja skills. As such, she became a selfish individual and even developed a rivalry with her best friend Ino, referring to her as "Ino-pig"
during her early years in the Academy, Sakura was frequently bullied by others due to her large forehead. To try and combat this, Sakura used her bangs to hide her forehead, fuelling the other kids' teasing by indicating she was sensitive about it.ino yamanaka, realising this, helped Sakura by giving her a red ribbon that she used as a way of drawing attention to the cuter features of her forehead, which helped Sakura overcome her insecurity.
Sorry, not enough forehead to be Sakura....
