They heard the same stuff before, they still wouldn't listen to me. I always had to argue with my parents about not going to speech. I gave them 15 years of speech therapy.
In my freshman year the school had no speech therapist, the last speech therapist had moved to a different school district and they had to find a substitute speech therapist at the last minute, and I didn't really get that much therapy from the school at the time. But up until my sophomore year-junior year, my Mom asked the school if i can have speech therapy twice a week since I didn't have alot of therapy my freshman year due to that problem since they finally found an official speech pathologist at the end of my freshman year. I did not like that. I was hoping in my junior year that I would not have therapy twice in the week, but nope, i did. I hated it. I'm so sick of doing the same stuff over and over again, its not fun anymore and its just getting old. My parents keeps saying the "You should be lucky to be able to talk while most of your other deaf friends can't" routine and the "the school requires you to have a speech therapy since you have cochlear implants to practice." and whenever i say something wrong by accident my parents would go "See? You need speech therapy." or "this is why you're in speech" I mean AGHHHHH! It makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes when I can't get through to them.
