bangs?

hey ... I hate bangs so much! I have had them for 16 years, and i`m just so sick of taking care of them.....They always go flat,or just plain look bad...lol .....I`m starting my sophmore year pretty soon and I just doin`t want them anymore they are too much of a hassle....But everyone tells me my forheads to high....So I guess my question is, would it be a mistake to let them grow out, and is there a way that I can subltly do something to them??.....thank you so much!

.....I was actually thinking about just leaving them flat, but I didn`t really know what to do..lol ....thanks for taking the time to reply to this.......
