Before I start, I should mention that I'm still fairly young (16 to be exact) so don't judge me too harshly :DIn January, I finally had enough of my mom choosing everything for me since everything she wanted I either didn't like the look of, or caused me too much pain to feel worth it. I chose to have it relaxed as it really helps with the pain and
