Now I do understand that I would be one of the luckier ones when it comes to scoliosis. My curves have not been that bad nor the slightest bit painful. And this on-going experience hasn't come with any huge emotional baggage.
When I was first diagnosed, I was hella scared. I didn't know how I was going to live a normal live ever again.
When I got my first brace, I became very uncomfortable with having something preventing me to move in some ways.
When I first wore it to school, I was scared people would make fun of me, and everyone would know.
When I was told I would have to change my wardrobe to be able to wear the brace without everyone being able to see it, not gonna lie, I was pretty upset. Tbh though, I think my mom was more upset than me bc she had to buy me whole new clothes.
My back is kind of "special" in a way too. Basically, it's stiffer than the normal spine, making it harder to correct. Which may result in me having to wear my brace longer than intended.
Now that I'm used to wearing it, now that I'm used to people asking me about it, (honestly some people come up with the weirdest possibilities as to what it is), I'm no longer selfconscious about people noticing that I'm different and have to go through different things.
No one has really bullied me for it, or at all in that matter. Well, not that I know of. But, it's okay, if anyone tries to hurt me, they have to go through hard plastic first.
