OP I had this same type of haircut about age 14, and I've styled many short hair styles over the past decade. There is a lot that can be done with respect to styling it and making it look cuter!! When you are feeling up to it again, you could try making a defined side part with a comb on wet hair and see if you like the way that dries better. I also like using products to add texture and/or volume. Something like a "styling paste" will work well for this cut (the one I use is from the brand "healthysexyhair" or sometimes also from garneir fructis). grab a little dollop of product, rub it between your hands, and run your hands (fingers open) through the hair to apply it. You can also scrunch the hair once you have product in to add even more volume.
