Answers:
The whole point of braces is to bring your teeth back into proper alignment.
To do that, your orthodontist tightens the wire to bring your teeth slowly back to where they should be. Because they're being moved in your jaw, it will, obviously, hurt. As your teeth settle into their new positions, the pain will decline.
However, each time your orthodontist tightens them, it'll hurt again. So be prepared for that. also, the ends of the wire may poke into your cheek, so get your ortho to bend them so they're not so sharp.
Being a past veteran of braces, I suggest that you go by the "thumb-nail rule": Do not let anything enter your mouth that is larger than your thumb nail. So either cut up your food well or start eating rice. The rule ensures that whatever you can't chew, you can at least swallow.
When you get your braces off, initially your teeth will feel a bit slimy. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong, it just happens. But by that stage, your teeth should be in their proper positions without needing to be further moved, so they shouldn't hurt anymore. Your ortho might make you wear a retainer, but that only serves to keep your teeth where they are, so they're not moved anymore, therefore: NO PAIN.
Don't worry about other people. Pretty much everyone gets them. If people pick on you, ignore them. I know it may be easier said than done, but it's the best general defense. If they see you crack, they'll know they're getting to you. So just ignore it and don't give them any fuel for them.

i have had them years ago and i really dont remember the pain being all that epic. i dont remember much pain at all really!! so thats good news! i think you;re friend is exaggerating. also dont worry about being picked on, the only people who would use braces as a reason to pick on someone are LAME. just keep your confidence and dignity and dont be afraid to smile big and cheesy. getting braces is a good opportunity, your teeth will be so pretty after, just think of how hot they will look. the time will fly by. dont stress. they really arent worth stressing over!!goodluck !Health Question & Answer

Why should you care what people are going to say when you have braces..It's not their business. The braces will hurt and especially the second day.But during the process when they are put on it does not hurt. Take painkillers if you need to. eat soft food and rinse your mouth after each meal. Good luck and after 2 years your teeth will be perfect!!!;)Health Question & Answer
