~P.O.V. Amari~
- Amari! get ready for school. you will be late on your first day
-ok Mom
I'm Amari White, 15 years old. I live in Lawton, Oklahoma. We moved here last week 'cause my mom got new job here. She is special manager and she works really hard to raise me. My dad abandoned us when i was 5 years old. That's time when i got diagnosed and turns out he is like others, he left us because of my illnes.
Lawton high school is my 4th school this year. I really hope it will be better here.
I've cerebral palsey. Luckily it isn't that hard, i've seen people who can't even walk or move because of it. I only have small "effects". sometimes my left leg stops "working" and my left arm moves itself. I can not control it, but with my medicines it doesn't happen as often as early.
I want people to take me as normal person, they think i'm weak because of my disabillities and starting to bully me, but there is where they are wrong. Maybe i'm not answering their actions but it doesn't mean i'm weak. It's just that i'm not on low level of personality as they. I am takeing their words that they are calling me, it makes my hart ache, but answering violence with violence isn't right way to stop bullying. And bullies have their problems too. Maybe they aren't showing it but bullying can be their way to get away from their problems.
