Mad

Adults that would try to raise me that weren't my parents or close family friends.
 
People accusing deaf people over stuff.

One summer, with youth club we flew to france. about 12 of us, 9 deaf, 3 hearing and 3 youth club leaders. We stayed at a caravan park in camping du pylone, antibes.

This caravan site never liked us from the moment we arrived.
Numerous times we were threatened that they would kick us off the campsite for being "too loud" come on, most of the people that were there werent even able to make a sound never mind be too loud. Apparently there were loud music, bangs, shouting, screaming.They even had security every night patrolling the place near where the 3 caravan where we were all in and checkin up on us. We were all worried every day they complained to our youth staff. We werent kicked off and was glad to leave! As we boarded the coach, me and my friends turned around and saw the whole staff from the camp actually cheering and smiling!
 
People that basically stop talking to you, and then seem upset that you made new friends.

And the news ignoring the important things for stupid stuff.

I look young not because of my skin or wrinkles or whatever but because I have a petite body, from being born pre-mature. My body size will always remain the same, no matter how much I age.

the same is true for me. i only weighed 2 pounds at birth and as a result, my body size is petite. (all of my clothes are in petite sizes.) i'm only 5'2" and due to my prematurity and age, i won't grow any taller than that.
 
People who just want to be nice to you just because your deaf

Last year i received a christmas card off a classmate in ma class. None of my close friends in the class got a christmas card. I asked my closest friends why i got a card and they didnt. They said because your deaf, and I could understand that. they probably wanted to make me feel more welcome or something but it wasnt totally fair on my friends!
 
I'm 5'3" and I fluctuate between 115 and 120 lbs. Keep in mind this is for a guy.

How many months were you premature (if you don't mind me asking)?

i should mention that i've been as low as 109 pounds, but gained some weight after being hospitalized recently.
 
People asking me if I'v shrunk! or repeatedly telling me I'm really small!!
I think I know that!
I'm only 5 foot tall and stopped growing around 12 years old.
I'v always been small as a child. I was born premature too, I wasnt even 5lb at 3 months
