i had braces before at the end of 4th to end of 5th. Since I had them that early, when the rest of my teeth grew in my bite was screwed up. So I just got them aug. 06. The thing is basicly everyone is getting theirs off and its bugging me. I look at pics. from past yrs and I like what I see, a mouth with no metal! Im going to have them on until the beginning of junior yr!
also, i have been always been really skinny and i eat whatever, well lately i notice that my stomach isnt as flat, my mom says its still flat, but i dont think so. So im eating healthier and cutting back and excersising, which is good in some ways.
Also, i feel sad/lonely all the time. I really truely dont have friends, well ones I hang out with besides like the hallway, even them Im somewhat of a loner. And some of the ones I call friends treat me like dirt, but it hard making new friends cuz theres always a few people in the group that really dont like you.
Sometimes my mom asks me if its ok and I tell her yes, because-i dont know-i just cant tell her the truth. It hurts too much.
So basicly-how do I become comfortable with myself?

Trust me, I know what you're going through. Dealing with physical apperance issues hurts, but you sound like you are doing things to become more comfortable with yourself. As for the braces, plenty of others including adults have braces. If you are concerned about what others think of you, well they arent looking at your teeth! Tell yourself that at least you won't have them in senior year. Being a loner is upsetting, so try and put yourself out there with a NEW group, one that appreciates and respects you for who you are. If you worry too much about fitting in or your social status, rather than truly enjoying your good friends, you'll be miserable. Your mental health and well being is more sacred than trying to be accepted where you aren't. Talk to your mom, she wants you to. Therapy may boost your self-confidence and teach you new ways to make friends and become comfortable with your body. Be grateful you have a mom who cares, and ask her if you could talk to a therapist because you may have mild depression. I know this because I use to have it. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Put yourself out there and let the world see what you have to offer and friends and happiness will come. Talk to your mom and ask her about therapy. Best of luck to you.

i'm so sorry. well to make friends you need...
~to smile it makes you look confident
~look on the positive side of things. people will like you better if you're happy.
~be friendly and polite to people, and if they're rude to you, don't stoop to their level.
~Laugh! make people think that you're a fun person to be around.
~be interested in what other people are talking about.
tips:
in a new place, find a person who's not in a group and strike up a conversation with them about anything-but make it interesting.
call your friends up at least once a week so they know that you care.
be a true friend & seek out true friends too
Good luck!~~~~
