Ah, that's pretty sad!  But, hey, you are right, you are just a normal teen, so I won't make a big deal out of it!  I have no secret hidden diseases.  The only thing wrong with me at the moment is a head cold and a popcorn kernel stuck in my braces that is causing my gums to enlarge and enflame and causing me SERIOUS pain.  I hate it!  I will NEVER eat popcorn again!  And my orthodontist is gonna kill me......

@ R~D: *Sarcasim* Oh yes, the joy of having braces! (NOT). I guess that's why they told me not to eat popcorn... They told me a whole lot foods not to eat like: Gum, whole apples, whole anything, caramel, skittles- ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO MAKE OUR LIVES MISERABLE???!!! *Sigh* I went in to the orthodontics last week because I felt a piece of wire sticking out in the back, I felt awful, I thought I had done something to ruin my braces already, but they said it was just because my teeth were moving. So maybe I won't have to wear them for two and a half years after all!

Why was everyone beating Nathan up? I say, good for him! So what if he starts young? Everyone grows at a different pace!
