this is mostly just so that the author sees this comment maybe?

well anyways im 14 and i had an endoscopy done like maybe 1 or 2 years ago? and the truth is it is somewhat uncomfortable especially when eating, so don't eat anything like steak. and it also feels really funny when they put it in (and take it out). so overall the entire experience is not fun but also not the worst. lets put it this way.. getting stitches is waaay worse

I just found out my guy friend (and my ex) is gay. I really want to help him through this. Im the only one who knows. and I need advice to help him tell his parents, and other people. . . and advice to help both of us through this.

Hey girly! You should feel really honored that your friend trusts you enough to tell you something so big. However, the best thing you can do is listen to him when he needs it, and be supportive. Let him know that you're there for him and will be through everything. As for telling his parents and friends, that's something that he should do when he's ready. And, it's possible that he may not be ready yet. So, I wouldn't push him to come out. Just let him come to grips with it at his own pace. And, let him know that you're there for him no matter what.

I've had braces (I got them off a few years ago) and I can tell you honestly that most of the time it is totally fine, but sometimes your mouth will feel tight or raw depending on the stage of your braces-wearing. When you first get them, your cheeks and gums might feel a little sore because they aren't used to the braces being there. When you go back for check ups, your orthodontist might tighten the braces in order to coax your teeth into a straight line, so you'll feel pressure and possibly some mild pain in your tender gums. Nothing a lil Tylenol won't knock out I also had a expander for about 6 months which went on the roof of my mouth, and that's the same deal - when it was "cranked" every week, my teeth felt tight and kinda tender until my mouth got used to it. But I never felt pain intense enough to distract me from what I was doing (homework, chores, sleeping, etc.) and I never felt enough pain to cry or complain!

Hopefully being honest about the types of sensations you might have made you a lil less scared! It's really nothing to worry about - tons of girls have gotten braces before you and have all made it through!
