FOr example adults automaticaly think dat cuz your diabetic u can never eat ne sweets once n a while/ god forbid i mean this is bs.If i even have any candy at school teachers gawk at me like Im picking my nose or somthing. Must I say its as if that some teachers think i need 2 tell every1 dat im diabetic cuz some how the topic always comes up in health.For example he mentions Diabeties every class n some how intergrates it in the most irrelevant conversations.Iluv how he trys 2 act like he doesnt no i have diabetes word travel fast wen it comes 2 teachers. I DONT WANNA B A POSTER CHILD I WANNA JUS BE MYSELF AGIAN. WHY SHOULD I BE LABLED DIABETIC! The funny part is they say the want u feel like every1 else wen the actually make me feel more like an outsider.The last thing i wanna here is their only trying 2 help! if u feel da same way holla bak?
