Well, being deaf was my biggest issue cuz of lack of access to everything being said. If I was a hearing person being bullied, at least I would have the advantage of knowing what they are saying and be prepared..the kids took advantage of my deafness by making communication and access to information harder for me as if it wasnt already hard enough in the first place. The teachers also treated me like this poor deaf child..they would constantly make comments about my deafness in front of everyone such as "Shelly, are you understanding me? Shelly, do u understand (name) ok?" "Shelly, is your hearing aid working" Day in and day out...
