Do i really have to wear my retainer at school too?
I have to wear it day and night apparently for 3 months but honestly I look horrible with it and can barely talk right without sounding like i have a serriousss lisp. If i wore my retainer from the moment i got out of school to the moment i got out of the car to go to school the next day + wearing it in classes I don't talk that much in (4 periods out of eight), would my teeth still be okay?
I'd really only not be wearing my retainer for 6 hours 2-3 times a week. I will wear it every single day this week though.

WEAR YOUR RETAINER! I know it's hard to talk with it on and you sound ridiculous, but the more you wear, the better you'll be able to speak. trust me, I've made the same mistake as you and all the progress I had gotten went all back and I had to start over. 6 hours 2-3 times a week is a LOT of time, believe me. 6 hours can cause a shift in your teeth position and your retainer won't fit anymore. And like the others have said, it's only 3 months of your long life. Are 3 months of awkwardness too much for a lifelong great smile?

Three months is not a long time to end up with a lifetime good looking smile.

Don't wear it and your teeth will move back to the way they were before braces. If you don't wear it as you were told and as often it is possible that you eventually won't be able to even get the retainer on. So its up to you.
