if they disagree with us, they can tell us themselves but I don't think they are interested. I know they are deaf but I don't know if they like to be refer as deaf or CI deaf or what. I let them tell us how they like to be refer. For the meanwhile I know alot of us are comfortable with the word "deaf"
I know, I was a public school kid myself. I know they have friends , activties, sports, and even boyfriends (like myself in high school) I still think teens can be sensitive especially about hearing loss, so I'm very careful around them even if I disagree with how they view us.
