UPDATE: I have to get braces and the doctor said it might be a forever type thing.. does anyone have braces?

You are the most shallow person I have ever talked to in my life. You don't need to be with the hottest guy. You don't need to be the most popular. You just need to be YOU. You have a disability. You need to embrace that and move on. Realize that life isn't going to go your way all of the time. Realize that looks ARE NOT everything. Realize that you need to grow up and move on. You can't fix it, so embrace it. If it is for your health, then it needs to be done. Your health should be the very first thing in your life. Guys, parties, and looks, should be the very last thing. When you grow up, you'll realize that you were immature. I was the same as you. I put everything off. I ended up almost losing a kidney because I didn't do what I was supposed to do. If you don't wear the braces, then what? Later on in life you'll wish you had because you won't be able to walk. What's worse in that little brain of yours, wheelchair or braces? Eventually if you don't do what you are supposed to do, it will come down to that question. So, stop being shallow and realize what life is about and what you need to do. Having to use hand controls isn't the end of the world either. If they are needed to be independent, then it shouldn't bother you.
