I've had braces. In the long run you'll be so glad you got them because they make your teeth so straight and your smile will be awesome. First, they do hurt. It will scratch your lips. But it's normal. Ask your orthodontist to give you wax. You can place pieces of the wax on your brackets with will be so helpful. Trust me. Don't worry about what people think. Honestly, so many people get them that it's not a big deal. Of course people will notice and say "hey you got braces" but it's the same as when you get a new haircut, people notice. Follow the directions your orthodontist gives. Be careful of eating foods like corn, because it will get stuck in your braces. Brush often. You'll be fine :)

Be happy that you're able to get this done. It's very expensive, so not everyone can afford to have braces. It helps you keep your teeth cleaner if they're straight, not to mention looking better! So yes, you should definitely be happy.
As for advice, do whatever the orthodontist tells you. I know it sucks, but stay away from the list of forbidden foods: gum, corn on the cob, all that good stuff. Get it in while you can! If your orthodontist tells you to wear headgear every night, do it, even if you have a sleepover or if it makes your hair go funny in the morning. If you stick to exactly what the doctor says, you're less likely to have to wear them for longer.
