It's Scoliosis. I have it.. i found out i had it when i was in 4th grade and i was put in a back brace for 5 years until i had to have surgery in 9th grade when i was 14. So now i have two metal rods supporting my spine. It can be serious depending on how bad the curve in it is. Mine was 60 degrees, but after surgery it is 20 degrees from surgery, and now im almost 18 and doing fine. You can't die from it, but i would suggest going to your doctor for a more in depth check up. If you have any questions about it, i'm willing to answer them!

scoliosis. It's when your back curves into an S-shape or C-shape. C-shape is more common among people who have been diagnosed with scoliosis. Nothing too worry about really. 1/15 people have scoliosis. I have it, I almost had to be put in a back brace, but I ended up not having to wear one. Some tips to do is to make sure that you stand up straight and not slouch when you are sitting, etc. It usually isn't that serious. Although there are a few cases of someone getting surgery because of scoliosis, it's nothing to worry about. You probably have to get a check-up every year or so to make sure it hasn't gotten worse.

No, you'll just need to wear one of those back braces for a while.

scoliosis. its nothing that can make you die. i had it before too. it just means your spine is a little curved. my friend needed surgery cause hers was extrememly bad. mine wasnt that bad, so it straightened out after a few years. if your worried, go to the doctor and ask what you can do to make it go away. i forgot what i had to do. its not a big deal though, so dont stress it (:
