High school and Epilepsy
Sun, 08/26/2007 - 23:30Topic: Teen Zone
Hi everyone my name is Gina; I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. Even though my epilepsy isn't sever I still really feel like a total out sider. It’s not that fun epically at school. I struggle in school a lot epically when it comes to school home work and making new friends because they don’t always get what we are going through in our every day lives. I love to swim in the pool all the time. I also take private piano lesions and do crafts in my spare time for fun like knitting bags and more. I find them very fun. I don’t drive which is pirty disappointing because all of my friends get to. Does anyone feel the same way as me? Talk to ya’ll later.

Hahahh you are funny. Do you struggle in school.I sure do epically in English. Do you exactly what you want to do right when you get out of high school. I want to go to collage but I am not sure of what I want to become yet. I am just going to explore careers. I have learned over the years to rather enjoy going to the hospital then think of all the negative effects like shots and more. I think of all the visators and the nurses. If I don't then when I go it's really boring and you get even more scared. Talk to you later Stay happy

Hey how you doing. All I remember with my grand mall seizures is that my eyes use to roll and I use to scream and cry as well. I was 8 when the last time i had one. I agree they are scary. My seizures aren't that scary. people freak out when they see me having one and i can't respond to them. Lets stay positive. Gas cost 3 dollars where I live as well which sucks and i know its just going to keep ongoing up and up until we Figure something new out. you take care I'll talk to you later Keep a Smile on!!
