Hey Sabiya,
I'm also a profound kid in the hearing culture attending the public schools. I understand the embarrassment of speech therapy and having to ask for CCs.
I have been in your shoes almost exactly, but I continue with speech therapy which is annoying, but it does help. The CC videos are more regular now and I have a transcriber (god bless my mom) so I'm more up to date.
I really hope you find some social change that you are looking for, and if others make fun of you, just ignore it and tell them they should be ashamed of themselves.
