The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly about having Braces

The good things about having braces:

1. My teeth will be straight when I get them off
2. I can't eat bread crust, which I never really liked doing anyway
3. A few of my other friends have braces

The bad things about having braces:

1. No skittles, starburst, laffy taffy, bubble gum, pizza crust or doritos
   
2. They always hurt after I get them tightened
3. Brushing them is kinda hard, and flossing is even harder
4. Going to the orthodontist every 6 weeks
5. I don't get them off until I'm almost 14 1/2
6. If I don't keep them clean enough, my teeth will decay

I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
