I'm like, 'Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I'm OK with who I am and I'm happy with who I am?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm just who I am. I don't try to change myself for other people.
People often expect me to be something other than what I am.
For the most part, yeah, I'm happy with my body, but there are days when I'm like, 'Ugh! Really? Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?' That's when I say to myself, 'I look this way because I'm supposed to. If we all looked the same, we'd be boring.'
I was a good-looking kid. I never felt, like, dorky. I was just like, 'Yup, these are my braces. I've had them forever.'
There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?
I think I've always wanted to be different from everybody else. I get really annoyed when I do something and everybody else does it too, or if I'm doing something that everybody else is doing.
I think it's good to do your own thing and want to be different, and not look like everyone else.
I didn't want to have braces when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad didn't want to pay for them.
I wouldn't even have braces on my teeth. I think they are horrible and this idea that everyone should conform and be perfect is ridiculous.
