Within seventh grade, I got tired of school. Sick and tired of it. It got in the way of my friends, home life, and I felt invaded by such things as homework and grades. Well, within the second nine weeks, I blew school off, horribly. But out of all the things I would expect my dad to do such as grounding me, or punishing me, he perhaps saved me from locking myself in a sewer, yet ruined my school status. I was signed up for special education.
Yes, Special Ed. For mentally challenged students.
Now, it is true I have a strong history of disorders, such as ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Behavior, and an abnormally high case of social anxiety . But, I guess those were enough for me to be listed as mentally challenged. You see, I still am in those classes, and I'm used to them now. But well, I guess you can really see why I don't have too many friends IRL. Most people wouldn't be willing to accept me at my school simply because of labels. Well, guys, do I really look slow, or disabled, or anything to you? I really had to muster the courage to say this, even to my online friends. Well, that's all I had to say, actually. |

OCB? Dangit, I wanted someone else who had OCD who knew what it was like.
Yeah, stereotypes are a bitch. |

SID right here, dude. It's a dysfunction, atleast, not a disability but dangit, the behavior side effects kind of ruin my life.  |

Well, I actually thought that you guys might have shunned me! Well, it's nothing all that bad, I guess it prevents me from having false friends, since it's a barrier against idiots. I am accepting of people of all types, and everybody in the special ed room is a close friend of mine. |

What, no way can we shun you! You're great, and those labels are seriously unfortunate, considering that they incite prejudging simply because it's been stuck on you. But we know you well enough by now not to judge you just because of this. So, thanks for being honest. =) |

God I HATE people who think your stupid just 'cause you got ADHD. SOme of the smartest people in the world have it :/ It's just causes you to find it difficult to focus on something and the need to move. That's why it leads to bad grades, some misbehavior, and the labling of a "Bad Kid."
Plus you get people who are like "OMG, I THINK [name] IS ADHD!" "OMG LOL YOUR RIGHT!!1!" :/ Yeah.
Then you have the people who treat you differently. I told MC I was ADHD and he was like, "What?" And I said, "You're slow aren't you...." Then he started making fun of it and wouldn't shut up until I punched him in the face :3 By violence isn't the answer. |

Einstein has ADHD. My mom teaches special ed. and I recently learned that they aren't retarted, they're just people with learning disabilities.
Well, SID doesn't mess with my head, but they still call me sid sometimes. >.> Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go complain about tags on clothing. *lol, I just dissed myself* |

I still think you're awesome, Sandslash. And you've always struck me as bright, so the people running your school system are just dumbasses.
I hope you're not leaving or anything, because then I would be forced to cling to your leg. D: |

A pool is deep. The ocean is deep. That puddle I fell into in second grade is deep. I know deep. That may or may not have been deep. Self contradiction is not deep. |

I'm glad my online friends can look past barriers. Why can't my friends at school do that? You guys are great. |
