Had to add the deaf and hoh who say if you are not praying to be cured that they will "pray for you" um yeah okay lol Oops sorry this was supposed to be about what hearing people say. Sorry, I slipped on this one. Check out the one before.

When they say "start listening, you never listen!" Nevermind! Oh and my personal fave "my savior is going to cure my deafness because I have been saved/if you are saved God will cure you" That one really makes me angry when people say that to kids Save your BS people... Hoh and deaf people...

I cannot help with the ASL request but I hope I can help you a little: Have you looked into the HLAA young adult groups? Some sign some don't, you may make some friends on both ends of the fence and learn ASL (: I've been to a few things and they were cool. Check it out online. A lot of...

And welcome! (:

Or even a boxed card. From last year. The true friends get Hallmark bought at full price. Ooo

Yep!!! On the bright side, better to know what they are really like now then later. Plus, karma will get them. Life is long if you're lucky and their lives can change just like that too. Except they won't have a friend like you around when it happens. I just focused on all the money I was...

Love how you guys are supporting each other so much (: great job

So very very happy for you! You need to have a party or something (: Cheers and Beers for my Ears! What brand did you get and how did you lose your hearing if I may ask? (: congrats again

ncff07 I am really sorry about your Dad. hugs your way Rio thanks so much for your kind words! Just focus on your Dad and your time with him. And do whatever you can do that is legal to stay calm. I think I watched Sound of Music 10 times. Glad you have the pets. They are great listeners. Stay...

Oh I didn't catch it first. My nephew did. Very horrible to do that to a kid, and that kid confronted her also by phone. My family was very very unhappy and she lied to my brother about doing it. But again my nephew saw it even before me and had it in his phone her lying to him about it when we...

I would be furious. Those kinds of things do not go on fb. When my Dad was in an accident and had gone into a coma, my then SIL announced it on her fb. Guess what? My family did not tell me that he was in a coma yet bc they didn't want to upset me too much before I flew in. Thankfully I had...

Signed it (:!!!

In response to Jane B. I definitely think deaf and hoh do have it worse being bullied than overweight kids. And i think a lot of those kids see that. You can lose weight but you did not cause yourself to be hoh or deaf, you have no control over that. No way I'd compare the two but I've heard a...

Did want to add I had a moderate hearing loss and the bullying was verbal not physical But the teachers and parents thought it was "funny" when I didn't hear and were very snarky about it. Here's what I did: I became a competitive dancer at a very young and often competed against the girls who...

Dixie big hugs. Everyone else here big hugs for sharing your stories From my experience I absolutely agree that HOH and deaf kids are bullied much more than kids with normal hearing. Here are some factors I think: They(the kids who are teasing or not sticking up for them) are learning this...
