I hate the fact that so many people make assumptions.
About me.
The “fact” that because I have hearing aids means that I am deaf.
The “fact” that you need to speak louder for me to “Understand” you.
I hate that I have to put hearing aids on every day so that I can experience life “Normally”
I hate that I have to deal with the problems that come with being hard of hearing.
I hate that I have to deal with bullies on top of everything else.
I hate it.
Crying.
It’s something that all of us have done
At some point or another.
Yet it is a sign of weakness!?
And I say that is false.
FALSE
I say that it should be a sign of strength.
So
We are a group of people mostly under the age of 18 that according to the government might as well not exist.
We are underestimated by grown-ups
Because we have not been through all of school.
Almost every day I wear a hoodie.
To hide a part of me that I can’t escape.
It shrouds my difference from the world.
So that I can seem normal.
So I can fit in.
So that nobody can pick on me about it.
