i think thats you thinking too much into it. Everyone gets that reaction regardless of their health.

Atleast i have.

I've also had this, I think it's just a general question! Doesn't mean they think you're stupid and going to do rubbish.

[lawrawrrr]

I think they do tend to look down on people with special needs more than other kids though, ever since my teachers found out about my adhd it's like... YOU OKAY? I really don't understand why they have to treat anyone differently, a physical disability isn't gonna effect anything at the end of the day..


p.s. 500 post count *wooo*

My friends don't really. But eh, maybe I did take it too deep.

Yeah I honestly think you're looking too much into it.
Just because someone says "I'm in top set" doesn't mean they're saying you're stupid, they're saying that they're clever and trying to boost their ego!

Just because a careers advisor says "that's not what I'm used to" might just mean that she hears a lot of "Im not good at anything, I'm useless, I don't know what I'm gonna do"

And yeah everyone goes WELL DONE when you say you have As or A*s because they secretly wish they had them too but don't want to sound bitter

I don't think anyone should be judged regardless of whether they have special needs or not, a girl in my English class who has dyslexia got a B in her GCSE and she was really happy because she wasn't predicted to pass. And that's reminded me about a book I'm reading, (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time) it's about a boy with aspergers and he's really good with mathematics and numbers, so it shows that just because you might have special needs doesn't mean you're unintelligent, infact you might even be really clever, like the boy in the book.
The career's advisor at my school is actually quite helpful, in my last meeting she told me straight out that staying on for sixth form at my current school would be a bad idea. She even admitted my school was going downhill.
The only thing I didn't like was her telling me that 'becoming a director' would be a difficult career to get into and giving me lots of information on it. I've actually done my research on what it takes and what career isn't 'hard to get into' anyway?

I can't see the part in this story where they assumed you were a dunce because of special needs

[buttons]

did she SAY anything about your disability? did she SAY you weren't capable of what you wanted to? she might just not be used to it because some special needs people have no confidence to go further.

and honestly i just think you're here to brag especially from your other post about some guy being in 4 top sets and you being the top set for 9, you're belittling him as much as others apparently belittle you. look, you have no-one to impress here. if it bothers you so much then go out there and prove those people wrong. i was always told i would go nowhere in life (lovely ex before there) and well DONT MEAN TO BRAG but i am 3rd in our subject at college for marks and 2nd in my class...

Maybe it's because you don't look like a downy but yh you brag wayyyyyyyyyyy 2 much. no1 cares if your estimated GCSE grades are mostly A* .........you just brag about everything and then if something happens/ some1 says something you just automatically think it's because of your disability. Before you say I am, i'm not jealous.

[qaxzsw]

no offence but all of your posts are like attempts at bragging.. it really annoys me.
