I always wanted to read this book. When I did get it, I read it in less than an hour. This is my first snark, so please be gentle.

What school does scoliosis checks? Like, is this a normal thing in America, or just plot bullshit?

My mom suspected I had it for years, but reading this bitch whine about it scared the shit out of me. I was only diagnosed with a mild case in the last two years. I'm 24 :| THANKS BSC!

When I was in grade school, they did a scoliosis check, but I think it was only a couple of times that this occurred in my time there. By the way, I'm 24 as well with a mild case of scoliosis!

I actually had it done every single year, but I went to like eight elementary schools.

Can you put this behind a cut tag, please? :)

Anyway, add this to the list of things the BSC wrongly taught me, that "OMG.SCOLIOSIS.IS.DEADLY." I have a curve in two places along my spine and I live no differently than the next person.

Seriously, me, too. Sure, it means that wearing heels can kill my back where my curvature is, but it doesn't mean I'm crippled or anything.

I've reported you to the mods for deleting comments. I was going to come back here this morning to thank you for figuring out the text size problem and also adding the cut, but now you're just being rude.

Abby Cool-Meter?
Damn, that's just stupid.
I never read any of the Abby books, so I don't really know anything about her. |D

Um, I think you could make paper maché bracelets if you just paper-machéd some regular bracelets, using them as a base. But I agree on the whole overalls thing.

Overalls were cool when I was in sixth grade (1992), but they were often short and you wore one side unclipped for extra coolness.

Could you please not use the word "spaz" so much? Thanks.

Well, I'm not very PC but I just don't think it's very funny to say "Oh, don't be such a spaz!" all the time. It's just lazy humour. That's just my opinion, though.
And I think the term you're searching for is "ableism". I don't think making fun of how diabetes is shown in a kids book = oh, look, how unPC we are! It's a snark community-nothing is off limits! I'm sure when people were talking about/snarking Kristy and the secret of Susan or Dawn and Whitney they weren't just going, oh, haha, what retards.
