The Life of Being Bent

Explaining

Scoliosis- the curvature of the spine.

Sounds disgusting huh?

And painful to many, it's not that common, but it affects many girls and some boys.

There isn't a for sure cure but they have ways of slowing it down.

With Scoliosis you aren't born with it, well in your DNA. But you don't get Scoliosis until you get your growth-spurt. They don't know how it's cause but the record for highest moving spine is from girl who didn't know she had it, and two weeks later she was at 50 degrees.

Doctors tell you at 50 or 40 degrees that it's recommended to have surgery... or forced.

I am not sure if someone has snapped in half from Scoliosis but probably not.

The way I slow mine down is with a thing called a "Boston brace" and probably 99.9% of the worlds population doesn't even know what that is. Well teens with Scoliosis have a shell just made for them so they don't SNAP IN HALF.

It's like a turtle shell except you don't look like you have a humpback and you can cover it with most shirts.

Oh don't even get me started with trying to find shirts, it's so difficult.
