Hello everyone, my name is Abby. When I was 7, I was in a car crash, and I guess something happened to my eardrums. Needless to say, I'm deaf now- and I'm still having trouble being deaf. I go to a 'hearing' school, and people who don't know me get irritated because they think I'm ignoring them. It doesn't matter if I use sign language, they think I'm toying with them. Any advice?
Newbie here!
