im ILL, Not DIFFERENT

[littlehelen]

why is that you always get people that cant accept the fact that your ill? This has really started to annoy me!!

Recently someone decided that i had a part in "bullying" i say that loosly as it was nothing of the sort, n i wouldn't put someone throught that i know how much it hurts like most people i have been bullied.
Any way this girl was sayin that i should understand what she is going through as i have c.f. now i just feel this is the main reason behind her blaming me for no reason so i now feel she thinks im different and shouldnt be spoken to or anything.

Hi there Helen,

Oh the joys of being a teen. I am so sorry you are having to deal with these crummy issues. That is the EXACT reason I didn't tell anyone but my close friends that I had CF. I ended up having my "secret" told when I was a junior in high school and everyone treated me oddly at first. It wasn't so much a your strange or different and not worth talking to thing though - it was a babying thing. They were constantly saying oh you can't do that -- your health ... you can't run because of your health or bike or whatever. It drove me insane.

I think alot of the idiocy of teens comes from ignorance. No offense - but so many teenagers (myself included - though I am 24 now) think they know so much when in actuality they know very little.

I would try to brush it off and just live your life - I know seemingly easier said than done. What I mean by that is this though - If people are treating you different try to live your life as you normally would - if they were not treating you differently. When people started treating me strangely, after they found out I had CF, I continued to do things as I always did, after a short time they all realized that they were being silly and they went back to treating me normally. Sometimes I think we become so hypersensitive to being treated different that it actually can encourage people to treat us differently (I hope that makes sense). If people see you acting "normal" or not being bothered by what everyone around you is doing or saying about you - they may start to wonder what they big deal is and see that there is no reason to treat you differently because you have CF.

As for the person that tried to say you were bullying - I am just guessing but she is probably not someone you need to care about anyway. Any person I dealt with that openly and bluntly tried to make me feel badly I realize now was not worth my time. The truly important people will not make you feel bad and will see past CF and see you for you.
