Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 That's so hard to hear, Darlin', and I hope you see all of us being on here that you can get through the hard times, and that you're not alone. I have thought of killing myself so many times as well b/c of this condition. Something you can say to your parents about homeschooling is that most people make friends after high school as well, in university and things like that, so homeschooling through high school is not as socially fatal as your parents may think. If you already have friends from school, you should tell your parents that you'll keep in touch with them, and try to find ways to hang out with them so that you remain " normal " . Try to get through it - hang in there...find your cures, your preventions...you can do it We're all here pulling for you! ~Meghan > > I am 14 and has had this curse for 10 years. I have grown very depressed and suicidal. I have been noticed I can't have a normal conversation without mishearing. I have noticed I can't hear so well, except the sounds I'm sensitive to. I can pinpoint who is making the sound. I feel helpless and alone, except on here. I use loud music to mast all the sounds. I have bern tearing my family apart. I can't see a doctor for a while because I got water on my knee and need to fix that first. I daily have nervous breakdowns and can't stand school. I am about to drop out the day I turn 16. I need some suggestions on conviencing my parents to do homeschooling. My parents would, but they are worried about making friends when I havr so many. They believe I need the interaction. I am scared about holding a job when I get older. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks! Is there any possibility that hearing loss makes it worse? I use my earplugs to get by. I love my earplugs to death. > > > > I am 14 and has had this curse for 10 years. I have grown very depressed and suicidal. I have been noticed I can't have a normal conversation without mishearing.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 a, my teenage son has had a hard time in a large school setting. If your parents are concerned about the lack of social interaction with home schooling you should research home schooling groups in your area. There are many that plan field trips and events together to keep kids involved with others. Print the info out and share it with them. Also start thinking about a career you could aim for which does not involve being around other people all day every day. An office situation is not for you. Maybe writing from home, or something that is outdoors could be for you. Something that you enjoy you may never have thought of. Finding something that would work would give you something to look forward to. My son is working hard at school on his writing techniques so that he can be a freelance writer and work from home. Knowing that he has a path has helped to relieve that stress in his life. I hope this helps in some way. > > I am 14 and has had this curse for 10 years. I have grown very depressed and suicidal.
