However, this same college actively discriminated against my daughter because she has a disability.. and the discrimination wasn't based on her actual disability.. but on a perception of it.. They hadn't actually even met my daughter when the principle made the decision.. Now, see that's wrong.. I know it's wrong, everyone else knows it's wrong.. and it's not acceptable for the college to treat people that way... So that leaves me with what to do about it? I've (almost) made sure my daughter is ok now, she way more than meets the criteria for the course in EVERY way, but has decided not to do that course as she fears that the teacher will be horrible to her because of what happened...

I have nieces that are teenagers and i feel like they are strangers, i have two, if i email or facebook them they wont even respond 99% of the time. the only time i hear from them is on the big day. I feel like theyre just calling out of obligation and not cause they want to talk to me, was wondering if i should just take my phone off the hook or take off, that dont work cause they just call the next day, any suggestions? i hate when my family does this less

You are a result of the actions of others. It was circumstance. Chance. Whom you are was not premeditated. Just biology doing its thing. So many variables "could have been" but weren't . There but for the grace of God go thee or me. If your life is good do you realize how fortunate you are and appreciate every moment of it? Do you have any feeling at all for those whose lives are not so lucky? Not your problem? Who cares? So what? SIGH less
