I just wanted to say somethings about the comments that say "I'm sorry you're deaf". I understand that you care and I appreciate that.But it's not a nice thing to say.You're acting like it's a sickness,meant to be cured,while it's not.Deafness is usually something you're born with or get later in life and usually can't be cured,unless it's temporary deafness (yes,that's a thing). Also,to the people who say that they'll pray for me,here is what I have to say: God gave us the ability and inability of things and we should be thankful for it, o matter what he gave you. Another thing I wanted to address is that hearing aids and cochlear implant don't cure deafness. So if someone is deaf you should still be careful. Talk slowly and clearly. Repeat what you say if asked to do so.If they can hear better in one ear,go nearer to that side. Ask them what they prefer. And no, deafness isn't contagious and I'm not dumb or an alien. I have no idea why people think that. But it's really annoying. I find it hard to make friends because no want to be friends with a deaf girl. You shouldn't judge anyone. It can really effect them if you do.
