Thanks BB and Reba..good suggestions and comments!
I understand about how it can be awful especially for a teenager. I wouldnt wish it on anyone's kid or even mine even though they are fluent in ASL. However, I wanted to tell my friend that it will be ok but there are like 20 out of the 38 comments with negative remarks about deafness which I am sure is not helping at all.
So, I just commented saying "Deaf person here and pls pls ask me any questions or concerns. I will be more than happy to help out. Hang in there!" Something like that. Just kept it simple as I am sure my friend is feeling scared as well.
One guy commented that he lost his hearing in one ear and how life has been so difficult for him and that he prays for full hearing in both ears.
Just wow @ the comments. Could they just making my friend more frightened?
