                        Dear Amanda, there are a lot of girls who have had your experiance!  You can get a great deal of support through the Scoliosis Association - they have support groups and everything!  1 800 800 0669 is their toll free number - I urge you to call them and see if they have a chapter in your area.  Good luck!
