If anybody makes fun of you again I will

out of them for you.

I am only one grade lower than you but I am pretty strong. Just let me know.

Just never give up. We know you can do it.

Don't let them get to you.Do your best and never give up.You know you're as good or better than they are, don't let them convince you otherwise.Keep loving those birds.

Many people have learning disabilities of various sorts. I understand your frustration (my brother is high-functioning autistic) and my heart goes out to you. You are at a tough age to deal with this sort of thing. Kids at that age can be mean, but just ignore them. I know it is hard, but they have their issues too (whether it be family problems, difficulty in a single subject such as math, etc). NO ONE is perfect and that is the beauty of our society. Having a learning disability does not mean you are stupid, so poo-poo on them for being mean! Many people with severe learning disabilities are very successful in life. It is just a matter of figuring out how you learn things best.

Kids can be just awful. I had an awful time in school and wish I had had ducks to turn my attention to. Not all kids are mean and hopefully you'll be able to find a few.

Aren't schools required by law to provide assistance for people with learning disabilities?

Do you mean Special ED? Also my school has a no bully policy. If you even make fun of somebody by 1 comment you will get OSS or ISS. It is very good policy.

My heartbreaks for you as I read this. I was picked on & made fun of, too. I am blind in one eye & wore thick glasses for my 'good' eye. I was teased until I was reduced to tears ~ and the bus stop was the worst...I finally started walking to school 2 miles (in a suburb of Chicago) until my parents found out...then it was backkto more torture.

It almost makes me cry now ~ and I'm 42!!

Just know ~ it does get better. I promise.

Fill your days with those people & things that build you up.

Boy! This makes me so mad!!!

im in 7th grade and i have a learning disability i have dis calclulia it means that i suck at numbers so they put me in a special class, i also have a neuro muscular problem. when i see some body getting picked on i stand for them and make the the other person stop, so even though you may have disabilities you can still stand up for other people or yourself!

i know it's not easy cause really every one is bigger, stronger and louder than me but for some strange reason a good majority of people are scared of me. also all my friends are insane

.so basicaly don't take their s*** if they they say something to you that you don't like tell the teacher or take em down, it's really not that hard go for the legs

i just hope this advise helps

My daughter is dyslexic. She went to special ed classes when she was younger for her reading. Keep your chin up and work hard. You will have to work harder than others. You will have to spend more time on your school work than others. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. My daughter just turned 22 years old. She graduated college last December. She got her 4 year degree with a double major in 3 1/2 years and is now working on a graduate degree. She lives in her own apartment and pays all of her own bills. You can succeed. You are the master of your own destiny. Ignore the idiots that put you down.

Don't give up!! Ignore those kids, they are the real losers, not you. You are at that awkward age right now, and kids are super mean at that age. I worked in a school cafeteria for 16 years and took up the fight for many kids who just didn't "fit' in according to some of the big mouths that thought they knew it all. I stood up for one kid all through grade school, until he graduated, and he loves me to this day. I cannot stand to see someone treated badly or unfairly. Life is too short, and we all are here for a reason, even if we aren't sure of what that is!!! It will happen when its suppose too, and then you will think, "well, sure . . .why didn't I see it coming!!"

I do want you to make a promise to yourself, PLEASE. One of my twins had LD (she was fine one on one, and could answer the test questions verbally fine, but writing it down was her crutch to bear, and caused her grief for years. Even had a grade school LD teacher who told her that if she couldn't learn this one thing, she was going to get a whipping. It was stopped, but lots of angry people over it, let me tell you, with ME being in front! But, my DD quit school when she was junior, because of this and other things, but mostly because the LD teacher she had in high school and absolutely loved, was accused by one of the other teachers of giving DD answers for her tests outside the subjects classroom. Wasn't true, but it hurt the teacher so much and DD also, they were afraid to do much . . .anyway, getting too long winded on this, but it was a terrible time . . .so DD quit and nothing we said could get her to go back. She has tried to pass the GED three times, but Illinois has made it so difficult she has given up on that also. DON'T GIVE UP AND QUIT, NO MATTER WHAT. Things will get better . . .you sound like an absolutely wonderful person, and don't let this rough patch get you down!!! Go talk to your chickens, and tell em' how you feel. They love you now matter what!!!

Good Luck, and please don't forget the promise to yourself!!!!
