i don’t like to talk anymore cause people have a chance to see the gaps and when i do that, its show that i have low self-esteem and i don’t need that in my first year of high school.
my question is:
1. will people make fun of me especailly the seniors and jr.’s?
2. will new people even want to be my friend (like making new friends)?
3. will people understand?
4. will u make fun of of me cause of the teeth thing?
5. what would u do? would u not care and still make new friends cause u kno the problem is goin to be fixed in a few months?

2. Some people will want to be your friend. Just because you have missing teeth does not mean that they won’t like you. Be yourself and others will want to know you. Yes soem can be cruel when it comes to appearance, but beauty is more than skin deep.
3. Some will understand, some won’t. It’s a fact of life that we all have to live with.
4. No, I will not make fun of you because of your teeth.
5. I would not let it worry me. I thought that when I went to high school that I would be the shortest. At the age of 12 I was only 1 metre tall. I was worried about that, but when I got there, there were 3 people shorter than I was. You will not be the only one with braces.
Perhaps even make a joke about it – the teeth have been pulled out to stop me from biting people on the neck and sucking their blood. LOL
You’ll be fine!!!
I wouldn’t stress friends too much. Everyone makes at least few friends, even the biggest nerds. And there are always gonna be a few guys that have a crush on you
Confidence is the issue. If you aren’t assertive then you will have more problems. Go ahead and talk and let people see it. If you don’t people will notice your shyness and think you’re a freak, making you a target.
If you do talk, they will just think you have some messed up teeth, and thats just temporary anyways. Tell them you are getting it fixed if anyone asks.
You’ll live.
I had some very pretty friends who had dental problems. One girl who was very popular had extra teeth coming in on one side of her mouth. Her braces were to help fix the problems. She was still cute and no one made fun of her dental problems.
Okay, to answer your questions.
1. Juniors and Seniors will find plenty of things to make fun of for a freshman. They likely won’t even notice your teeth. Juniors, at the end of the year, once the seniors have graduated, will be mean, so it’s best not to worry about what they say. Seniors for the most part, won’t care about the freshman. And honestly, it’s not likely that you’ll interact much with the juniors. Best to ignore them, but I truly believe no one will comment about your teeth.
2. Sure they will, people aren’t perfect. Many other freshman are worried, gee will they make fun of this, or how they hate some part of their body. Most people have at least something that they want to change, it might be a nose, or a chin, or big ears. I’m sure there’s a girl out there who’s going to be a freshman who’s worried about being called dumbo ears or something. Everyone has something that do not like about themselves, so we all understand this, and of course you’ll make new friends! Your friends will understand!
3. Sometimes, sometimes not. Forget about them. Just think about how gorgeous you will be when everything is done!
4. We all have our insecurities, so of course not! ๐
5. I would go out, enjoy yourself, make new friends. It will be fixed, so there’s no reason to worry. OTher freshman will be as worried as you and you will all find comfort in feeling the same way.
Go out, have fun, beauty isn’t only skin deep, and many people know this. I’ll let you in on a little hollywood secret. Want to look beautiful? Well it’s all in the way you carry yourself. Carry yourself with confidence, believe you are gorgeous, and people will see the beautiful and gorgeous part of you. ๐
This means any person who DOES make fun of you, is probably someone you wouldn’t want to be friends with anyways… even when your smile is up to your standards.
Question #2: Have you noticed that we tend to make fun of those who are vulnerable to our actions?
I find it is better to go with the current, instead of against it. A good reply to a shot at your teeth, is a worse shot at your teeth: “Wow! your teeth look horrible. Yeah my face looks like a train wreck, I cant wait to get this taken care of”
Question #3: Do you really care what they think or say?
At the end of the day no words can substitute actions and the moment any idea is threatened by publicity it is reduced to mediocrity. So you have to take care of business, even if the world stops in its tracks, this is the only way to press on!
Good wishes for a happy Freshman year.
2. yes they will if u talk to people, you will make more friends if u join a club or join a sport.
3.well u said that you teeth will go back so in time and when they go back people will be like wow i shouldent have made fun of u. something like that
4.i dont care unless ur ….a u know
5.i would call my cousins and tell them kick their 4ss, and yes i would not care.
i had braces b4 people didnt care
2. if they really want to be your friends they’ll understand, ur teeth dont show who you are, you do
3. yes, getting braces is very common nowadays, and if ppl don’t that means they aren’t ready for high school and they don’t have the maturity to handle it
4. of course NOT! i had braces myself, it hurt alot and naturally ur friends will make a joke or two in the beginning but sooner or later everyone gets used to it and its not a big deal, but think about this u get ur teeth fixed now so u can be pretty the rest of ur life.
5. of course you try and make new friends, dont let any part of you make urself feel uncomfortable around new ppl…once again ur teeth don’t show who you are, you do
