Hey Alex, great post and really really touching.
But you know what, you make serious mistake when you think life all roses and honey for hearing. It may look like that to you but I swear life in high school can be just so shit for hearing if we don't fit into "accepted" group.
I did not go to school in USA, so can only share what life was like here in South Africa. I went to academic senior school (Latin Math and Physics) but my strengths were English, Literature and Art. Don't have to be rocket scientist to work out that other students talked behind my back, called me stupid, ignored me etc., 'cos I took the "dumb" subjects.
I know being Deaf is a big defining status thing, but please please PLEASE don't make mistake of thinking all hearing are big homogenous anti-Deaf group. It is SO not true.
