I dont know if the teen is reading the comments as it is on her mother's FB page. I just can only guess that as a mother, she is probably overwhelmed and feeling anxiety about her daughter.
In my high school, my best friend and I never addressed our deafness with our friends. We ignored it and worked our hardest to fit in and pretend to "hear" better than we could so our friends never really asked us any questions. It was like our deaf issues were swept under the rug with my best friend's and my help.
Yea, we were both so much in denial about our deafness back then and even when we reconnected 10 years later at the renunion, we returned to the same behavior. At that time, I was starting to find my deaf identity after being in denial about it for so long.
Then, we reconnected on FB but it is not the same as being in person.
