I think they just used me for what they could get as I used to take them to the movies, we went to see the Pussycat Dolls for my 11th Birthday etc. I try and ignore them the best I can but it's still really hard at times.

It *is* hard to accept and to see people react to you differently than they used to, I think we all can relate. All the ones that will no longer give you the time of day, well: good riddance. It hurts, yes, but you'll have to do without them and you know what, you can do without them. They'll only give you a hard time for not being able to keep up or do what they do. It's not there that you'll get your support, that's for sure. Stick with the people that stand by you no matter what, who aren't ashamed to be seen with you, who think you're just as good a person as someone without a disability. You deserve people like that, people who make you feel part of something rather than make you feel excluded.

It's going to be different than high school, I can tell you that much. It's like all the bad apples have been weeded out and it's a much more grown up atmosphere... well, it was in my case.
I hope college will be a great experience for you.
