When I was in 6th grade our substitute teacher had a seizure and all the
other kids freeked out but I went up to try to help him. The kids thought I
was the weird one. I couldn't figure out why? After he came out of it he
thanked me and I felt good. Made the other kids feel real low. Served them
right! Ignorance of disabilites is as bad as racesim. No place for it our
world. Sometimes I wonder if we will ever climb out of the dark ages. Are
you taking medication? Does it help? Keep your chin up and the 'ell with
stupid people. Later
