The past will come back to haunt you. You obviously don't realize that no matter what you do, you will reap what you sow for the bad choices you made in the past. It's not my fault that you did some things you may not be proud of. You made these choices yourself. So you end up punishing yourself and your deaf friends.

It has nothing to do with trust. It's more to do with your insecurities.

*rolls eyes*

Haunt me? Like how? I could move to a whole new state and move on with someone. If that someone asks me what my HS years are like, I'd go like "huh? you meant the black years?" and she or he would gulp and say no more. We'd talk about my past years as a kid, then move on to 7th grade, and literally "fast forward" my HS years and talk about my college years.

If those dumbass deaf kids didn't constantly pick on me in the first place, then maybe the whole separation of the groups on Facebook would not have happened. Ever thought of that, Banjo? Of course you didn't; you just go on with your wild "theory" about me being insecure. Didn't you even read what I said in my post I linked earlier explaining everything? I'm sure there are thousands, if not millions, of kids who are just like me, with bad HS pasts. Does that mean those kids with bad HS pasts are "automatically insecure," as stated in your "theory?" Pfft.

I have already told a few college friends all about it and they completely understood. And, yes I already knew that if I kept it all to myself, I'd go nuts.

But ahh whatever. I'm not gonna argue with you any longer because as they say, "Arguing on the Internet is like running in the Special Olympics." Let's keep it at the fact that I *know* for sure I'm right, and if you think I'm wrong, fine keep it that way but don't put me down and say that I'm "insecure" because as far as I'm concerned, my plans are going with the flow. And, no I'm not gonna end up in the mental hospital.

End of discussion.

Everybody here can see that you have unresolved issues. You're the one in denial.

Bebonang

Well, Every person have a different point of view of what to put in the Facebook. If they want to separate between Deaf and Hearing on the Facebook, then that is their business. You can not argue when someone don't want to put Deaf people or about deafness in the Facebook.

As for myself, I don't mind putting both Deaf and Hearing people in my Facebook and nobody complain about it at all. I like to share my deafness with my hearing friends and I have several deaf friends in my Facebook as well. No problem for me. It is up to the person to make the decision and who is stopping them. None!!! So leave SnazzyStyle alone. I love Deaf people and sometime I get crazy Deaf people too, who are just trying to figure themselves out why they have crazy life.

SnAzZyStyLe2002

My sentiments precisely, Bebonang. Thank you.

I'm sick of meddlers.

I only have one FB account -- I think it adds to my character that my hearing and deaf friends learn a bit from each other about me. Whatever my friends post, they are responsible for their comments and their experiences... and I for mine and my experiences. I own my experiences and who I am. Real friends would like you for who you are, and that has more value to me than maintaining the quantity of friends. Besides, it is a hassle for me to switch between two worlds being either of the half the person I am.

Another thought: Which is worse, a hearing person who hates deaf people.. or a deaf person who hates hearing people?

Tousi

Yeah, or a deaf person who hates all deaf folks?

jillio

Very astute observation, Banjo!

shel90

I agree...it is like segregation by separating deaf from the hearing folks or vice versa. It is silly. If my hubby had two fb accounts, one centered for his black friends (his "people") and one centered for his white friends..he would get hell for it big time.

Nope, just the reverse. It indicates that you don't trust your deaf friends, and are insecure regarding your status with your hearing friends.

sequoias

Yea, I agree. I mix hearing and deaf folks on myspace so I don't have a problem with that. I even include bbw models, too. I don't have anything ashamed about it. We're humans with different sense losses, there's not much different about it except the culture thing.

jillio

Exactly. And how do we learn about differences in culture and become more accepting if we isolate from those that are different?

sequoias

Yep, we don't learn anything if we isolate from each other....it's like segrating black and white people and they never learn a thing or two about each other.

That's why many hearing people are movitated to learn sign language so they can social with deaf people efficently.

Drew

so sad that someone feels so much hate.

kipourgos

Well, now isn't that special...

serena1986

if people did not like deaf and hard of hearing peoples than they should get the hell out of our lifes,amen and peace.

racheleggert

Isn't that same dude who just want to molest teeanger girls? I think I know who you are talking about.

I wish I could find my old post about my personal logic on "hating Deaf schools", which was replied to someone's original post. But I can't find it anywhere else. =/

SnAzZyStyLe2002 -

After I read your story and a few of your posts, I'm sorry to say this... No offense, a several of your posts are nothing but full of rambling and fallacy. =/

Because if you blamed all Deaf schools then... within low reason, you were actually accused all D/deaf staffs and former staffs, D/deaf workers and former workers, D/deaf students (inculding me, damienmommy, xvali3nt3x, Foxrac, SkullChick, PuyoPiyo, Kaelei, XandieBoy, and another ADers who are former students of Deaf schools), D/deaf teachers and former teachers, (Shel90, Reba, and another teacher AD'ers) and, little d/Deaf toddlers and children. Also, you fairly accused all hearing people who worked at D/deaf schools. It is not matter if they are a jantior, nurse, cooker, and whatever career is fit in any D/deaf school. YES, YOU ACCUSED HEARING PEOPLE AT DEAF SCHOOLS, TOO. Once you accused us, it will be our and my "faults", simply because of your pain experience of cruel intentions at your old school.

Look, trust me. I was in your shoes, too. I actually had a lot of similarities as yours. At my old school, they didn't 'welcome' me and 'hated' me, just cos I was different and a 'less beauty' person or whatever it was. I had pretty horrible experience, just like yours. But, is it necessary to hate all D/deaf schools and community, just because of my personal experience? It's pretty ridiculous and so ludicrous. I'd rather to use a brain to have a valid reason and rational thoughts on D/deaf schools and the D/deaf community.

Here's a little fact for ya: Not all D/deaf schools or D/deaf people are like that, otherwise your posts are pretty unreasonable. Don't get me wrong. I completely and symphystically understand about your bad experience as your personal life, just I had it before. But, I really hope you are going to re-consider about what I said.

for listening.

Thanks Karissa...I just ignore his posts bashing Deaf people and Deaf schools cuz I see him as someone who hates all Deaf people regardless so I dont take it personally if he feels that way. That's his life.

I don't have an FB account but if I were to have one, it wouldn't occur to me to have two separate FB accounts for hearing and deaf. I may have two different accounts if I were to decide to have two for professional reasons. Quite honesetly, I don't think FB is a good place for a profession.

i love deaf/hearing people

I think that dude was talking tongue in cheek but I dont know.

With that on the side,

This thread does remind me of this quote: "the pot calling the kettle black"

Dixie

I have one FB account and thats all I need. My deaf and hearing friends often leave notes on my page, and to be honest, more times than not a person's hearing status is the last thing on anyone's mind when visiting a friend's facebook page.

I learned the hard way that the only person you hurt by fuming over another person's discriminatory behavior is yourself, that person has already made up their mind and its no use trying to change it and if you try you'll become exausted and frustrated. Don't take their problems on yourself. The only thing you can do is hold your head high and try not to be like them, and maybe prove them wrong while your at it.

jillio

Ignoring it condones it.
