kytigirl200 | My little sister is deaf.? |
She's nine years old(turns ten in two monthes) and is really cute.She wears hearing aids, and she's one of the most pure-hearted and inspiritive people I've ever met(trust me, I've met a lot of people).
She has trouble focusing, though, and some kids make fun of her. I've taken care of some, but I'm gonna have to leave our home in three years, and by then she's supposed to be compeltely deaf. The kids in her grade will probably make fun of her more than ever. I've always stood up for her when she needed it, and sometimes let her float it out on her own, just standing at the sidelines in case things got rough. What do I do now? It feels like I'm abandoning her. |

Kids make fun of what they don't understand. Does she have friends at all? Is she good at anything? If she were really good at a sport or activity other kids might have an easier time getting to know her because they'd have something in common. Maybe you could set something up to try to explain to other kids what is going on. Even if it's just as a guest speaker in a few classes at her school. That way the other kids have an oppertunity to learn about and understand the difficulties of being deaf. If you could get some of those head sets that cut out all sound and have them wear them at some point so they understand the difficulty of communication etc. Help the other kids to understand she's just like them in so many ways but she just can't hear. If she can lip read or hear them at all she can let them know. They can all play kids just have to talk a little louder around her. Hope this helps! |

Does your city have a school for the deaf &/or blind?
In Vancouver, Wa. there's one. I'm not sure about Portland, Or., but I'm sure there is. See if you can get her enrolled in one if there's one available. |

If the kids tease her, it's best to tell them what they're actually doing. Tell them about Helen Keller. She's so different they don't like her.
Teach her not to depend on you. You're not abandoning her.

A lot of progress can be made in three years. Your sister is lucky to have a big sister who cares about her so much. I would begin working with her now on self-assurance and defense strategies. You can never stop some kids from being mean and bullying, but you CAN help control how she deals with it. Just keep being a positive role-model for her and continue letting her know how much you care. Don't assume that things will be harder as she gets older. You can help change that! |

You aren't abandoning her, kytigirl200. It would be nice if more siblings felt as comfortable helping their sisters or brothers. You have been wonderful with her. You are doing your job being a loving sister who is keenly aware of your sister's needs.
Having said that, I want to encourage you to let her take it from here. She needs to make her way, too, and she needs to start practicing now, or she will have a bigger blow down the road. She may have a lot of difficulty, but if she is safe she needs to try it on her own. As you have stated, you cannot always be there with her.
Now, may I ask, does she have community support? Does she have connections within a signing community? Does she have other deaf friends?
Is your family connected to services that might help her? Handicapped Children's Services in your state probably offers clinics. The nurse/social worker can probably help your family with dealing with social issues at school.
It sounds like you would be a great connection for her to the world outside of home. You will need to make a plan, go to college, and establish your life. Go ahead and make your plans and start building the foundation for a distance relationship. When you are gone, she will enjoy receiving cards and small mementoes that will remind her of your love and support for her. Plan to have her visit as often as you can, and visit her often, as well. You can both start now to look forward to the times you will spend together further down the road. |

Have you checked out information available through the deaf and hearing impaired community? I'm confident that they have tremendous resources to support family members who have (and are) going through what you are. The deaf & hearing impaired community actually has some of the most dedicated advocates within the larger disabilities community. Try going to www.shhh.org for more information. |

Why are you leaving her? It's sad, but she has to learn to be independent and find her own way. I think it's horrible too that kids make fun of other people. It's the way the parents teach them. I'm sure she will be fine. |

You are truly a loving and caring sister she is lucky to have you! Please dont feel like your abandoning her,you are certainly not.She needs to learn how to be self confident in this world,and how to face people,because this is going to be a problem for the rest of her life.Show her movies of deaf actresses and dancers,teach her there are no limitations,she does not have a handicap but simply a challenge.Teach her everything you can,and above all else,tell her you will always be here for her,and that you love her....Good luck to you and your sister....you will be in my prayers... |

teach her how to be independent, not to depend on others. If u were to let all the **** people say about u, then u wouldn't be able to have your opinion. Just becauaew ur sister is deaf doesn't mean she doesn't have a voice. I always admired people with disablities how strong they to overcome so many obstacals and negative comments. I admire how courageous they are and how strong they are. I wouldn't know what i would do if i was in their shoes. Just tell your sister not to be afraid of them. Tell her she is so much better then them. They may be looking at someone but they aren't seeing them. You know what i mean. I'm saying that basically they can;t judge a book by its cover. I'm sure your sister can handle u being not home. When she grows up she will probably thank u for being there when she needed u and showing her how to be strong. |

What you do now is ask God to enable you to think more clearly. Some people are prone to routine lapses of judgement and unwise behaviors. Their fault can easily confuse you and make you assume that they are flawed and you are not. Attend to the spirit, and first of all, your own spirit. Make others wise by your mature example. |

Help her learn to depend on herself the best that she can before you leave. |

You must live your life. If you live your life and become a
more complete person, you will have more to offer her as an
example. Teach her to gravitate towards the positive.
Your sister is deaf, other people have sisters who are autsistic,
sick, lonely, depressed, handicapped in other ways...
Ours in not to take away other peoples sufferings, only to
be there when they wish not to suffer anymore.
Life is long and you will be there for her many times over. |
