I know exactly what you're going through, I was 12 when I had my car accident, I suffered all through school, with kids making fun of me becuase I got hit by a truck, I was have extreme outbursts, screaming at them.
My teachers just thought it was disapline problem, when I kept telling them it was from the accident......they thought I was making it up. I couldn't remember how to do simple things, so I had to re-learn all over again.
I finally got sent to an alternative school for emotionally challenged...not metally. there is a difference. And it helped me graduated on time, they did one on one schooling, and they let you work at your pace.
The biggest problem I had was I would get the homework done, put it in my book and forget it was there and was too late to turn it in. or I would need more time to comprehend what I was reading.
So don't worry I'm 20 now, went through school, graduated, I now work at a plasma center, and have found effective coping skills to become an active adult.
