Q: hi I'm a freshman in highschool and my mom just told me that I need braces I don't want to have braces!. I already have acne and need glaces I'm gonna look like a total geek. I don't know what to do. Is there anyway how I can fix my teeth without using braces?. Is there any invisable one?. Any ideas. Please.

wow same with me!I even cried the day before but it's ok because when I went to school noone made fun of me. Instead they were talking about how they wanted braces for their teeth. I was a little shocked but it's all good. No need to waste extra money for invisable braces. Just wash your face twice a day or use the cash to buy some medicine from the doctor because noone can probably tell if you have braces(I bet your thinking of trying to not open your mouth as much right?) if they're seeing so much acne so just take care of that first. and wash your face 2 times, no more then 3! I know your thinking that your face is so oily and you have to wash it more times but if you wash it so much the oil will be all gone and then your body will work hard to get it back, causing you to have even MORE oily skin which causes mroe acne. You can bring of wet naps and at recess just wipe the oil off your face. And last of all, BE NICE! I think noone made fun of me because I'm very nice and never said anything bad about people to their face so if you don't want bad karma, then do it a favour.

bio

After a two year hiatus I am back! I've been on this site since 2006 and things have changed far more greatly since my bright days in my younger years. I've battled with anxiety and depression and I've gotten through it. My life is merely a survival story itself and now I simply want to help others, being grateful for everything I have and simply because I CAN.

I'll answer every question personally given to me, if you're serious about it.

I am of faith but will not preach in my answers unless the person who is asking for advice is very obvious of being of faith.

Sometimes it is not about getting through the obstacle, but to stay positive within it. Sometimes you are placed somewhere dark so that you can shine to others even brighter!
