Hi

I am hearing and my dad and best friends are deaf.  I don't understand that either.  My friends are funny and just like any other person.  They are exactly like any hearing person.  Maybe people do this because they don't understand about deaf people.  Or maybe when they see someone signing they don't understand them and think they are weird for signing because they don't understand them.  I have no idea becuase I understand sign language and have no problem with deaf poeple.  Also to the hearing people who think deaf people should be pittied, NO BAD.  They shouldn't.  I just wanted to say that because I have seen some people who say deaf people should be pittied but they really shouldn't.  Ithink basically hearing people or most of them are just ignorant when it comes to hearing impaired or deaf people.  I think it's not really their fault.  So don't hold a grudge against them or anything like that.  Many people are not ignorant about deaf people.
