Very bad story.
I hate humiliation, And I hate when someone is forced
to do what they don't want.
Very bad story.

 Simply put...I loved this story dearly!  Some of the intimate things that happened seem far fetched in our current society but given the complete distress of Stacey's parents I could imagine them turning their backs to most anything if it would ultimately help their daughter in the long term.  To show my point...if Stacey had met Bobbie just a year or so earlier she probably would have made Bobbie's life pure misery for her own personal gain but with her discipline she immediately set out to clear Bobbie's reputation and help her with all her resources to fit into her prefered gender and be accepted as the person she truly knows she is.
 Kevin, who agreed to help Stacey through her English discipline spent hundreds of hours and countless late nights helping her through events that were painful for the whole family yet necessary for Stacey to meet what became her obsession.  There were many chances for Kevin to become intimate with Stacey but he slept with her on many occasions and honored the contract he had signed even though there were opportunities when knowbody would have been the wiser.  
 At times Stacey would seem emotionly dependant for corsetting and cuffs, as I try to put myself in her own mind I realize who I see in the mirror, a beautiful young lady with outstanding proportions, someone who has earned respect and envy from others for her willingness to suffer for the chance to become that person she sees in the mirror each day.  Then there are the cuffs, strictly bondage and discipline at first but as the story evolves they become her element of bonding with Kevin, they are like wedding rings that are a constant reminder that she is loved and needed by someone that will always be there for her.
 As I read through to the end of the story I could feel a strong sense of self-esteem flowing from mom, dad, Stacey, her brother and Kevin...it was wonderful to see how a potty mouthed teenaged girls determination could have such a positive effect on so many!  
 Finally, I carefully turn to the many teachers and students at the high school and imagine what went through their minds as they interacted with Stacey, it probably went like this.  "OMG I would never set foot out of the house dressed anything like that!"  Translation..."I would never have the COURAGE to do what you have done!"
 Samantha, please bring us more stories with such unique quality!

Thank you dear,

Don't like this one too much.
Too much humiliation for me.

Like saying water torture isn't torture.
Or 'this gonna hurt me so much more than you' when abusing a child.

Reeks of double standard to me.

Parent's humiliating their kids due to their own former incapacity in  showing how they should behave,
only adds to their own incompetence and lack of empathy when punishing their kids for that.

But I presume you had a need for exploring here?
And your writing pure 'technically' is as always :)
Good.

I liked how the story end, for the most part. I think the only real problem I had was how emotionally Dependant Stacey became on the corsets and being restrained.

great story.really enjoyed the way stacey adapted to her lifestyle change.have been interested in her mode of dress since i was a small lad living at grams.my hat is off to stacey.

i loved this story the only fing that i did think was what could stacy have survived all that happened without mark to keep her going

   Well as of today there have been 2004 viewing of this story and I post the first comment?  This story is truely the Ugly duckling turning into a swan type story.  Stacy while pretty all through the story has her personality blossem under the training she is given.  The TG elements at the end show how the world can become a better place when good people fight bigotry.  I hope nothing I wrote is a spoiler and that others who write better than me aqdd coments for this deserving story.
