    This what my father told me .

    That why I "turn off voice" sometimes when I sign in asl. I live in grouphome, and I don't like the lack of sign language in the home itself. They force me to not sign, they want me to use my voice, no videophone, no hearing aides. They keep telling lies about me in my grouphome. Including...

    This what my father told me .

    I remember when I was younger I got made fun of by everyone in town. I hated using my voice. I felt freer using American Sign Language and Signing exact English than using my voice.... when I didn't use my voice I was hit by other people at school where I went which was a hearing school.

    Would Like Your Thoughts

    I have made a personal decision on getting a CI for my left ear which is severe to profoundly deaf. I made the decision nobody else but me. No one forced me to do it anyway. My mom is deaf and my father I am assuming is deaf. I don't know if he is deaf or not.

    Hi, nice to meet all of you. Long post incoming, many apologies.

    I was born deaf and had to endure being the ONLY deaf kid in the school...Bullying was not nice....They'd yell in my ears to scare me....i even got assaulted several times during my school years. I hated mainstreaming....I wanted to go to deaf school.
