That's a good system to have. Working all year round is a good plan, as long as the kids get time off sometimes. (Like for day trips or whatever.) My problem is that since I have no teacher, and I'm trying to teach myself, I don't understand a lot of the material. (My parents don't teach me...

I've already studied the book, and I'm ready to get my learner's permit. (My friend made me wait until she turns 16 in May, and we're going to go get our permits together. My parents don't like this plan, but...) And I've already taken Driver's Ed, though I might take another course, I don't know.

This info is from the Pennsylvania DOT website. I just looked it up. Getting Your Driver’s License Step 2: Have a physician, physician assistant, certified registered nurse practitioner or chiropractor conduct a physical examination and complete Form DL-180 "Medical Qualification...

Exactly right. Visible HAs are bad enough - heaven forbid they are COLORFUL, too! :roll: My father was trying to talk to me a few days ago. He said something like "You know, they have completely invisible hearing aids now. They go the whole way in your canal, and you can't see them at all! You...

I know many deaf people. My parents, however, do not. Last night, my father was trying to convince me that the correct term was "deaf and dumb" :roll: I know that I CAN do all of the above things and more. And I'm going to! I'm going to finish high school, one way or another. (I'll probably...

Just wondering, but did she get her requested burgers? I wonder... :shock:

Stressed, coz I'm doing schoolwork when I should be on spring break. I HATE GEOMETRY :/

They have hypoallergenic purple earmolds - with GLITTER?!? Oh my gosh. I HAVE to get those! I'm allergic to the colored materials, too, but I didn't know that they had hypoallergenic colored molds. Bye bye, boring clear - hello purple glitter! :D

Red and white swirls would be my vote. That would go with both the red Nadia's and the Light Grey/White Nadia's. I wish my parents would let me get colored molds. I would get purple ones! They want me to stick with the clear ones instead :roll:

Oh, okay. I see now. I promise that I'm not a faker, guys :)

I'm not a faker, I promise! Where did that come from? What, you want me to post my audiogram or something? :roll:

You're right, LoveBlue; because I was born premature and I had (bad) problems at birth, they had my hearing tested. I "failed" the testing then, but my parents thought that it was a fluke. Turns out that it wasn't, when I was diagnosed with hearing loss upon entering school.

You're correct; I was thought to have been born hearing and started losing my hearing at a young age. There are several different causes of my hearing loss. Some is genetic, some is acquired, and I am thought to have been born with some hearing loss, but we don't know for sure. I failed my...

I'll try to keep this post short and sweet :giggle: My parents keep talking about ridiculous things. My mother keeps saying that I cannot: ~ learn how to drive (The doctors would "never" sign the papers for me.) ~ finish high school (How can I go to school if I can't hear? Yet, Deaf school...

You're right. Only two more years, only two more years...

Yeah, you're probably right. But, I'm still convinced that they are more worried about the safety of their cars... I think that I will be a pretty good driver. I'll need lots of practice, but I am a careful, alert, and sensible person.

Yes, I know. I'm saving all of my money for a car, and I'm buying it myself once I get enough money. And I am responsible for my own insurance and gas money. I just mean that my parents won't teach me how to drive and will not permit me to learn how to drive. But, my younger brother (he's 14 and...

Your boyfriend sounds like a champ and a keeper. A lot of guys would run the other way as soon as they heard the word "deaf". (I know from experience...) It's AWESOME that you have your boyfriend to lean on for support. As for your friends... If it were me, I'd drop them. When something like...

Today I learned that apparently, I'm not allowed to get a driver's license. :roll: Of course, I CAN get a driver's license - but my mother won't let me drive, because she thinks that I'll kill myself on the road or get ran over by a speeding ambulance or something. She thinks that insurance for...

The voice of reason!!! YEAH!!! Listen to her, she's got it right. I honestly can't top that. Just remember that you've got us here, cheering you on. We support you with whatever you choose to do. :hug: It's okay to be okay with being :deaf:. There's nothing wrong with that. Furthermore...
