Totally get where the op is coming from, the above is what my teeth were like up to the age of 15.... I caught so much shyt for it at school, that and my curly hair that nothing could be done with , I was not exactly one of the 'cool kids', far from it, my primary school days were a living hell. I do believe having a physical appearance problem you cannot help, and if you are picked on for it, can actually change you a bit. Especially when it comes to the opposite sex,
Well I ended up getting expensive and painful dental treatment, and at 15, my mouth was completely normal. I shaved my hair and at that time, a crew cut wasn't stylish but it was better than having a birds nest on your head. Iam too this day shy with women, although no where near as inept as I was,but I was a slow starter I believe because of my school days. The tranny fukking has zero to do with it, Iam simply a pervert. Curiouslysome of the people who bullied me, were ever so nice once I had left school and was 'normal', And another thing, teachers at schools to this day, don't deal seriously enough with bullying as they ought to, it can really mess up peoples lives, it doesn't 'toughen' people up, it actually breaks some people.
Oh and the old hollywood thing, that if you punch out the biggest bully,sudden you will be the popular kid,you will get the girl and everyone likes you was a bunch of bullshyt ,atleast in my case. All I got was my parents sent for, and no one in the class spoke to me for several weeks.
I feel for LA fisher, as at least my problem was sorted out by my mid teens, must affect you quite a bit as the world is shallower than ever these days.
