When was the las time you went to the Dentist? Cavities are a bigger worry. To get your teeth white, buy some "plus white." Plus white is usually about $10. Or just save your money and buy your own whitestrips at $35. If you buy your own, just keep them in your locker at school.
The strips work, by the way.
It sure is nice having pearly white teeth :P

Only movie stars and celebs have blindingly white teeth, and they had to get expensive - - and potentially damaging - - dental veneers, laminates, crowns, etc.
Changing your diet can do wonders for teeth. Have you seen those dog treat commercials where they say that hard, crunchy foods will keep your dog's teeth white and its breath fresh? Well, it's true! (forget the fact that dogs don't care, one way or the other!) Chomp on a couple of apples a day, avoid anything with caffeine (tea, coffee, chocolate, sodas, etc), and brush your teeth at least 3 times a day; anything with calcium is a plus, along with vitamins A & D. All that is far cheaper than any gunk or gimmick you can buy on the market, and is much healthier for you, too!
And don't forget that genetics plays a part, as well! If your folks have bad teeth . . . well, let's not dwell on that! ;)
FWIW, my teeth aren't the greatest, due to both color and numerous cavities over the years, but, I'd like to think that people are interested in *me*, not my mouth! A nice smile will get you just as far, if not farther, than a fake, blindingly white smile, which, IMHO, is very distracting!
Don't buy into the Madison Avenue hype!
Be happy with who you are!
