What Should I do?

Advice from Morgan

I got braces, and everyone else at school teases me about it. What should I do?

You could do a couple of things. They’re just braces! So many other kids get them, so its just a rude thing to do and they are just trying to get under your skin and feel better about themselves. So just ignore them and walk away, because they want a reaction out of you, so don’t give them one. But if it keeps happening and it is really bothering you, then stand up for yourself. Fight back. You could say something like “if you don’t like them, don’t look at them’ or “I like them and I don’t care what you think”. Shut them down, and they should leave you alone.
