I found it hard to geta job.  When they here CP  the walls go up.  One interviewer asked if it was contagious.  I felt like touching him on the arm and say,'Now you got it too!'

I hate labels and do not use them.    I tell people ..please look at my abilities.

One advantage is the handicap parking places :)

Five-no I wasn't impregnable. I only have blurry memories of those days of being sent to the coner almost every day and my K teacher placeing a baby harness of me for acting like a baby.. I only sota remember in first grade feeling mad at my teacher for how she treated abother girl in my class for having an accident.  I remember not liking school in K and 1st but being a happy child none the less!!!!  I'd so keep my childhood from those years

Ten-I was trying my damdest to be-good goal for any kid!  I remeber everything that happened. I also knew by ten, they were wrong.  When a staff member said negative things about me in front of me-I know she was just....

I chose to man up about my past, yes, I didn't like school, but I had a hell of a greeat childhood in spite of it!!  Everyone goes through something less than ideal.  I am not perfect, I have my issues, along with every oth adult on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   It's a result of some stuff I need to  handle now-not of my past!  I am so not perfect, wish I was stronger-I have some stuff I need to fix.  I need to take responsibility for my own life-not blame 'words.'

Sticks and stones man-it's so so true!!!

im just attempting to understand why im flawed? i know what the teachers did was wrong but i could do nothing. hell the school even banned me from comeing a few times. when i was in middle school i was sick and noone was giving me an aswer, didnt get one for another 3 years. so yeah technically i was depressed-depression caused by illness. so fine i cede your point, but to not say that words dont at least have a hand in driving someone to suicide is complicating it.

In my case, certian adults were wrong, IMO.  But all of these years later, how is that relivant-it's not!  What difference does it make if I was flawed? It doesn't matter...

I would raise my kid to hurt no one, to be hurt by no one-that's what one needs to best get through life!!!  Words themselves don't cause anything!

IMHO all words are equal. They are used according to a situation, need, the personalitly of the person using them, etc., but the intent behind the words used is the most important thing.

A person's intent - whether it be by action or speaking - is always what matters the most, and it goes a long, long way.

Ok, well this is my first post since I have been gone for awhile, so I am going to go back to the very first question of this post because yeah there is alot of them made after and well Im just answering my opinion on the first one Perf put on here. In my personal opinion, I dont mind being called disabled or handicaped, whatever, but I do hate the word crippled. Not everyone has a problem with this word, I cant really tell you why I do. My boyfriend says it alot, out of habit because his sister had spina bifida and she used it all the time, so when he says it, it dont bother me. I think it depends on how the person is using it. If they are just having a normal conversation and not trying to be mean or anything, its ok. but if the person is meaning to be a buttface then yes I get upset, well more pissed off actually. So the tone of the persons voice and all that I think really determines for me whether I take offense or not. But crippled is one word I really dont like much, I never say it, never have since I have been disabled, so the last 3 and a half years. So yeah theres my response to the question lol.
