When I was 12 I couldn't wait to get braces because people kept on making fun of my teeth. Then I got them and was so happy (without the new uncofortableness). Not that I have them off, no one can keep away from me. I love this new attention cause I have never, ever gotten that much attention. I even got praised by my teacher. I will be happy beyond....anything if I get them off before I graduate. Paige Soukochoff
