Not all deaf people, some, same as hearing people who got no life or no work too. everyone is different.

by the way his name is denis, not dennis. :)
 
This thread just proves Matajan's more of a idiot. His folks must be so proud to have a son who's basically a moron.
 
I did not get the impression that the individual was trying to put down deaf classmates as not being enough......I believe he just needs some coaching to help him understand some of the norms that he may not have picked up via incidental learning when dealing with students who are hearing......I have loads of good deaf friends and loads of good hearing friends...some cant sign "cat" but we make do and find a way to share our thoughts with each other............making the effort span the distance can really bring some wonderful beneifts as well as some headache but that is life the way I lived it.....

It depends on your personality....however, what's wrong with deaf people as friends? They are humans too.

Why do some deaf people have to make a "deaf issue" out of everything? He was simply asking about the prospect of making hearing friends if he were to take the mainstreaming route, that's all...

Did you make lots of friends in residential school?

I was in mainstream and did not really make lots of friends.

After high school, I spent three years in a program with other people who had autism, hearing loss, blindness, and some other handicaps. I was more successful there at making friends.

And they were better for me as we could relate well to each other. I did meet my husband in this time. But he is not Ivy league or rich. Just perfect for me.

When I was in mainstream i found it hard to keep up with my hearing peers. Deaf school was better even though the number was much smaller than in mainstream. I had some trouble getting along with some Deaf due to problems with a undix'd ADD though.

I kind of feel sorry for the op because his parents are pressuring him to see people more acceptable than Deaf and more Prep; many who attend Deaf schools come from a blue collar background. Given this situation, I doubt there will be many deaf -if any- who meet the OP's parents requirements.

OFF TOPIC:
Well, I didn't grow up poor. I will grant that my parents are not ivy league grads; they are grads of VCU in Richmond and my dad got his M.D. in Cardiology from MCV. My mother was a nurse before she married my dad. It seems to be a family tradition in my family to marry people from a less than a prestigious background.

My grandfather Walters was a fireman and he died when my mother was six. My mother's cousin who remembers him says he was lot like my brother. My grandmother didn't marry Granddaddy Price till my mother was 14 and he was a state senator and a pig farmer when he wasn't running for office.

My brother met a girl who grew up on a farm and married her. My big sister married a man whose dad worked as a order supply clerk. I don't know what kind of jobs my brother in law's parents had but I'm sure they weren't doctors or anything thing like that. I will have to ask my little sister about my brother in law's parents.

I'm currently seeing a guy whose dad was a truck driver before he retired.

Exactly...

Nothing wrong with wanting to be friends with hearing people but isnt he basing his friendships on one's hearing status? I am friends with people because of who they are, not because of their hearing status.
 
I had no hearing friends being mainstreamed. I'm not saying that to feel sorry for myself. It's just the simple truth. And it was not fun.. I would much rather have been mainstreamed with a GROUP of other deaf people or at a deaf school. Not in a high school of 2,000 other hearing students. Ugh. Those who say you can't go back, thank god! :)

My feelings exactly...

Sure, I had friends but it isnt the same as it is with my Deaf friends.
 
:gpost:

Seriously, the more friends, the more drama! Forget it! I hate dramas. I rather have few friends than lots of friends. And I stick with friends that don't cause dramas.
