has anyone here ever felt like they didn't belong in schools and people use your medical problems as a reason to descriminate you. Mine I feel does I've gotten in trouble for missing a lot of school which I can't help I get sick a lot due to condictions I have and teachers can be cruel about it.

I have never felt welcome in schools. I have a familial tremor, as well as asperger's syndrome, and a slight case of scoliosis. The scoliosis is not severe enough to warrant any treatment, but the doctors do have to keep an eye on me! I had to do an X-ray once. Anyway, kids would always make fun of me for how big my head was, how gullible I seemed to be, the fact that I couldn't do any gymnastics, or get good grades on my push up test because my lower back needed a little help. In middle school, they don't do that as often. They know if they do that I will bite back, since I now have more courage! I've also learned to deal with most of it and not feel sorry for myself, even though sometimes I still do!

I do have the problem of not being welcomed.No one seems to notice my disablity.If I don't make a big deal of it,no one else will.
I have ulnar nerve damage in my left hand/arm.
I can not smile with the right side of my face,rarely does my right eye produce tears.Finally I can not move my right eyebrow.
I do not care if I am not welcome,I am set not to care about what others think.Only those close to me.By doing so,people want me in there 'groups' or whatever.I can be a people person,and can be 'cool'.But if you don't like me,it's not my problem.

My view on my disability I guess is the same as TheTwistdBlakCat.
I don't act like I have one so people don't tend to point it out or dwell on it.
My old school when I was younger, I got picked on allot, I think because of my scoliosis and having to wear a back brace.
When I got older everyone I guess got used to me but I still didn't feel like I really did fit in.
That was in private school, now I'm going to public for high school and I don't get that feeling anymore.
I have one friend who's in a wheelchair and another that walks a little odd and his one eye looks to the side, but they both don't point it out, act themselves, and get on with their lives.
The people at my high school are pretty understanding, students and teachers alike which is why I like going there.
I'm also always making jokes about my back and about using oxygen, so that makes it easier for my friends and everyone knows that they can ask me anything and not offend me.
On my freshman year my school was put in lockdown after a strange odor made half the kids in chorus noshes and some were taken to the hospital.
I was in the library watching our school on the news with a group of other students and the boy next to me was like "they get to leave school wearing oxygen, where's my oxygen?" I just took mine off and was like "want to use mine?" as a joke, he just started laughing and was like "no thanks".
That’s when I knew I'd like there. rofl

I love so much to learn but because of people's attitude towards me strongly dislike most classes at school. I missed english this year and when I asked what I missed the teacher acted like I wasn't there and walked away. Luckily I do have Ag and in that one class I am not judged, and everyone likes eachother and it is what will get me through highschool.

I'm fine at school.
Everyone's mature in high school so they are being adult and not care about me at all. That is a great thing.
I'm on wheelchair too but I don't point it out because well, obviously
what's there to say about it?
I'm absent A LOT.....I would prefer school than a hospital though
everyone's understanding......well some teacher don't like to see me leave
but I can't help it.

I failed Biology sophomore year...had to retake it junior year. Why? 'Cause I got sick a lot and had to stay home...and had to go to the hospital once. In my yearly meeting...I was YELLED AT for it...saying "Oh, you should have stayed after school to make up labs." I can't stay after school, I'd have no ride home...AND I need to do medical things at a certain time. D: ..."Well, he would have arranged a different time for you, then." I asked. |: He said no. Tough luck.
Oh well.

OH. Here's a question for some of you, though.
Lunch time. |: Is it as bad for you as it was for me?
Like... There were only a few tables that had a cutout place for wheelchairs...so...I had only a few choices on where I could sit. Well...I'd get there early, and get to my spot.
Guess which table everyone avoided when the room filled with students. neutral

I used to have problems fitting under tables, even for lessons. Sitting half a mile away from the desk isn't good for backs gonk ! That's if the lift was working, usually it wasn't. I was left to "learn" by myself, pah.

Tables are just so wheelchair-unfriendly and teachers made one table that's cut out for it but guess what? They think they're trying to help and I know that..but it's really no fun eating lunch alone in a special table and that table kinda isolated me from ppl. So I always used to skip lunch. Well, now I have friends and they insist on joining them in the uncomfortable table. My position's really awkward and I'm probably in the way for many ppl when I join them but it's really much comfortable than eating alone

It was so dark..and..what if there was a REAL fire? well, in my time it wasn't that dark and although I did feel left out and forgotten and lonely, I got over it quickly and said "oh well" but then it was my friends who got furious toward teacher after that. Since they were angry for me, I guess I didn't have to be angry sweatdrop

Has anyone tried those evacu-chair things? SCARY! They're like human wheelbarrows to get you down stairs in an emergency. It feels like you're going to be tipped out :S
