Teeth problems :o(

I looked at my teeth once more, I saw this hot guy ( Tha hottest guy in our skool ) his name is Jody. He was just so perfetc especially his smile, I liked his smile so much. When me and my girl Nadine were joking around she said “Goto the orthodontic” inside I was broken but I brushed it off like it was nothing. I just looked at the mirrior again, and just my teeth make me look ugly, it covers up my looks that can actually be good. Again I cried even more than I did before, I just said “I’m so ugly to myself” only smiles came when I put on the petroleum oil on them, it just seamlessly makes my teeth and my looks look perfect for me. I know there is something you guys know of something but just won’t tell me. I’m even more depressed now than I ever was before. Just please tell me…

Kunimitsu, you do not tell us anything about yourself like your age, where you live and otehr circumstances so I am just guessing here. You sound very young and maybe that explains your concern about something very unimportant. Hopefully you will soon realize this but if you keep making this the center of your existence and the reason of your unhappiness you are creating a self fulfilling profecy.

Believe me, your teeth have nothing to do with whether people will like you or not (although at your young age it may seem differently). In fact, I have not seen your teeth but probably many people will find them cute. (Dave Letterman ain’t doing bad these days)

I was recently in China and it seems they do not care about aligned teeth and many people have badly misaligned teeth. They just don’t care.

I had a girlfriend who had her teeth very badly misaligned. The first time I saw her I thought she was cute and I thought to myself the teeth could easily be fixed… after a while I thought she was so lovely, I was in love with her and couldn’t care less about her teeth. In fact I found it admirable that she was not insecure in the least and that made her so much more attractive… I have tons of photos of her always with a wide smile… and I miss her and her smile…

Do not make yourself unhappy over this. If you really feel you want to correct it, you can start working in that direction. As has been said, find alternative ways to have it done, including earning some money on your own. If you slowly start earning and saving some money for that, you will feel better already… and it may be that by the time you are older you will think you have better use for the money.

The way I see it, I would be more concerned about your focusing so much on this than on the “problem” itself.
