A few months later, I finally asked him whether he is really hearing. He said yes. He told me that he has a learning disability. He never revealed to anyone expect me and his teacher. He had a drug problem in the past that screwed him up. He is better since then. So far, I haven't heard from him for years so I hope that he is doing okay. I have to accept who he is. Now, some people are pretending to be handicapped seem getting worse and they are about disadvantaging us nowadays. (Sight)
