<p>I haven’t read any of this thread except for the OP. However, based on the OP I actually feel pretty bad for this person. Usually I’m someone who has no problems bashing someone but this person appears to have some serious issues. I’d be depressed as crap if I lost my hearing as well. </p>
<p>Luckily, the loss of hearing can be overcome. You will never be “normal”. But you can still do big things in life without hearing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’re probably a huge ***** in real life. The OP already mentioned that this is extremely difficult due to the hearing issues. Try to see it from somebody else’s POV for once.</p>
<p>Like I said, normally I’d agree with you. But I have no idea how messed up I’d be going deaf.</p>
<p>
What’s that got to do with anything?</p>
<p>You’re saying things like, “oh just stop acting so awkward.” </p>
<p>Um I’m pretty sure the OP stated that they were awkward because they couldn’t hear. </p>
<p>Your comments are basically just fitting into the thread title. You are posting like a ***** in this thread.</p>
<p>It ****es me off when people pick on handicapped people.</p>
<p>Whoa there sailor … it’s pretty funny how you’re implying I’m the jerk. You’re pretty much straight up bashing me, thanks.</p>
<p>thanks guys for the opinions…and louisiana…i dont wear abercrombie…</p>
<p>anyway</p>
<p>hatersunite, thanks for your opinion, i know it shouldn’t bring me down but its really bad right now…i never imagined this would happen but i appreciate your comments</p>
<p>and smilemyonly, i don’t think your a jerk…i think i need more advice like that haha</p>
<p>
EDIT: Lawlz made me edit this post because I made another “spelling mistake”. </p>
<p>coolman, hearing aides aren’t a big deal anymore. I know a lot of people who have them and I barely even notice. Apparently you can hear EVERYTHING with them. Consider getting some.</p>
<p>What your mom said about college isn’t always true. In college, people are much less cliquey and you can always find new friends.</p>
<p>About what your mom said with college being the same way, it really depends on what college you go to, to be honest.</p>
<p>I don’t know that it would be easier to find friends in college, but people are far less likely to actually be mean.</p>
<p>“coolman, hearing aides aren’t a big deal anymore. I know a lot of people who have them and I barely even notice. Apparently you can hear EVERYTHING with them. Consider getting some.”</p>
<p>No no. I say go def and then he will never have to worry about people talking behind his back. He won’t be able to hear them.</p>
<p>Seriously hearing aids aren’t that big of a deal.
Also, WHAT DID FAIRY JUST POST BEFORE SHE EDITED IT?!!??!?!?!</p>
<p>I HATE YOU!!!</p>
<p>coolman, first of all
Stop!
You need to stop feeling like a loser
( don’t wear skinny jeans- though- it scares girls)
Personally, I can relate to you- I was depressed sophmore year too but this year I refuse to be unhappy.
Here’s what helps for me…</p>
<ol>
<li>Throw yourself into activities… The more stressed/stuff you do - the more friends you make the less alienated/unhappy you feel. And eventually when you want to make a clean break from thos jacka*<em>e</em> you call your friends you have someone to go to.</li>
<li>Make a stand for yourself- when your friends make a ******bag comment or whatev just tell him -I think you are stupid/a jerk - (they either will respect you more you will feel better)</li>
<li>Wake up and dress for yourself- so yeah, I don’t love the skinny jeans- but I guess you wear what makes you happy. Sometimes when I feel like you do, I just grab like an outfit that I love and tell my self this WILL be a good day. ( and it is - no I lied- but I feel better</li>
<li>When you have a bad day- don’t just decide that life will suck forever- ditto the college comment. Wait until you have 3 baddays on end to do that- most of the time you won’t 3 bad days on end- something good will happy- in other words postpone your sadness and wait b/c things do get, even slightly better</li>
<li>Run… Athletics helps sports have been shown to be as powerful as medicine in relieving sorrow + stress</li>
<li>when something bad happens DO NOT MOPE FOR HOURS!You might crying is cathartic- you’ve been lied to- its not. Not if you cry for a day and don’t get anything else done- (grades slip-personal experience)</li>
<li>Don’t always try to deny your sadness The more you deny it- the more it will come back to haunt you.- Say "i’m sad but I will get over it. this is called the acceptance model of therapy. Its a new therapy ( radical) but it works. Maybe your friends are talking behind your back ,maybe that random on the street doesn’t like you… So what ? Screw the random guy and friends and get to making your life feel better.
Yes, I researched these things…
I just wanted to help b/c I know how you feel I felt that way all last year. I h8t sophmore year.</li>
</ol>
<p>To the author of this thread: you need some serious self reflection. There is good advice in this thread, and there is not so good advice. I hope you can decide between then two, but I’m not sure you can. Here is what you should do.</p>
<p>You should quietly sit down and simply reflect on yourself and your life. Who are you, what do you want, why do you want it, who do you want to become, and who you are now. Don’t let any false sense of ego or anything distract you from what’s really there and what your thoughts are really telling you. Once you ask yourself some of these things and give yourself an honest answer, then you will be able to address any problems by integrating the advice from this thread.</p>
<p>Just wait until college. High school is a joke and everyone I know in college says how stupid it was and to not worry about it.</p>
<p>i feel ya man, it’s not easy. hang in there keep trying, i felt the same way in high school. luckily we’re seniors and only one more year of this</p>
<p>I’m not exactly sure about the situation (didn’t read anything other than the title), but before you blame anyone I’m going to honestly say: look at yourself.</p>
<p>If you’re really a generally chill person who acts normally most of the time and has made mostly right choices, then 99% of the time it shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
<p>The chances that people are simply mean to you and that everyone’s a jerk to you is probably less likely than something about yourself that unwittingly or knowingly causes such feelings in others.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to offend you, but in my experience **most<a href=“emphasis%20on%20most”>/B</a> of the people that complain about themselves in these lights (I also used to be one of them, in fact, in middle school) really have something about themselves to put it fault whether it’s some aspect of their attitude or their actions. </p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>thanks guys for the opinions</p>
<p>i like the advice i have recieved on this site…except zap’s last comment…lol…</p>
<p>anyway, invoyable, i honestly don’t know…i mean i don’t do anything to **** other people off…i think…other than the not being able to hear them now</p>
<p>anyway, thank you guys</p>
<p>and thanks nil desperandum, i really like your advice. =)</p>
<p>I just read the hearing part, yeah, sorry to hear that, that’s pretty tough…</p>
<p>And I wasn’t trying to imply that there is something wrong with yourself exactly, but rather, more like, I guess try to have an outgoing attitude and don’t be too hard on yourself.</p>
<p>Aspects of HS can suck, but it’s part of HS life.</p>
<p>There was a guy who used to post on here who was in a similar situation to you. He went deaf in high school and had some pretty angsty posts. It doesn’t look like he comes on here anymore, but it sounds like you two could identify with each other.</p>
