Hey guys,

Daniel here! ok so if you didn't know I have mild Spastic cerebral palsy in my left side. well I wear a leg brace and it REALLY bothers me to wear shorts because lets face it, Its not the hardest thing in the world to notice. Now this bothers my mom badly as it could be very hot.. and Id be in trousers?

i dont have a disability, but dont feel too uncomfortable.

im not sure how large the brace is, but i dont think anyone really cares if you have it on or not. its not like someone is going to think less of someone for it.

i have to wear a really big knee brace, but im sure that doesnt even compare

I had braces like that on both legs, as you know. Fortunately I don't require them anymore, but yes, I wear shorts even though it shows the many scars on my legs. I'm not going to hide the scars just because I'm afraid of what people will think.

Yes. I've only just stared wearing short skirts. I hate my legs, I have huge stretch marks on my knee's from when my legs swelled up pretty big and I can't reach to shave them so they're not as smooth as most peoples. I usually wear tights with my short stuff (that'd probably be more embarrassing for you seeing as your a guy).

Seriously though, who cares if you have to wear a brace. Yes, people are going to notice but they're not gunna give a shit. Wear your shorts with pride!!
