Hear Again and Shel90, just because I wasn't VERY embarrassed by them doesn't mean I wasn't bullied. I've had someone to actually YANK out my hearing aid and throw it across the room plus a few who would cover their mouths and say something like "Haha, you can't understand me!" or ask "Why do you talk so weird?". For some reason, I was more embarrassed about being "poor" than deaf. I went to a private school where many people were upper class and I was middle class. I didn't want to invite people over to my house because I thought it was too small. Everyone has issues growing up. Just because you're deaf doesn't mean it would automatically the biggest issue.
