Sure, I'll tell you. Telling them for me was actually kind of a must, because, well here's what happened...
I was in the hospital last December, for the first time, not knowing what was wrong with me. And my friends came to visit. They were my two best friends. It was Christmas Eve, and my doctors came in and told me I had cf, since they just got the sweat test results. I was so upset, just crying and in denial and everything. And As this dr is trying to explain everything about cf to me, my friends are in the waiting room, wanting to see me and wanting answers. When he fianlly left, my friends came in and they saw how upset I was, and I just said that CF was what was wrong with me. And, in a nutshell, I told them what that was even though I myself had only found out 5 minutes ago.
Then they told my other friends, so it wasn't really too bad.
You should just tell your friends, so that they know why you take pills and stuff. I know how hard it is, because I've told other people before. It's just really awkward when they have no idea what it is, and they say "is it bad?"
But once they know, if they really are your friends, they'll be really supportive, trust me. ANd it's not like you have to announce it to the whole school. Really, only my friends know, and they people they have told. I am sure, that any decent kid would not make fun or start rumors, especially when they know what cf is. Maybe you should just tell them really casually, ya know? Don't just sit them down and say, "I have to tell you guys something serious." Maybe just let them see you takng pills and when they ask why, just say "Oh, I have cystic fibrosis. I take them when I eat, it's not a big deal." Just don't make it seem like a huge thing, even if it is sometimes. Hope I helped<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
