Author has written 6 stories for Harry Potter, and Sweet Valley series. My name is Lucy and I can't tell you my last name because you might stalk me lol! Anyway,I have one story so far and I might make more. In my summary I say this is based on a true story, and it is. The sad but true story of my sister. In my story which is untitleed as of yet the maine character is dyslexic. I did this because my sister is dyslexic andI wanted people to know that people with dyslexia aren't dumb. Some people may think they are but it's not true. Dyslexia is a disese where you read letters and sometimes numbers backwards, and it's hard for you to read and write at times. My sister Andrea has this and she is not dumb at all in fact when we did Eye Q tests she hadthe same score as me. But that may be because she's older. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that if you know any dyslexic people, don't make fun of them because they can't help being dyslexic. That doesn't mean they are dumb, in fact they could be smarter than you. You can't judge the smartness of someone by their learning problems. I mean tons of people have learning disabilitys and they are just as good and smart as everybody else. Like I think Albert Einstine or some other genios had dyslexia or some other learning disability. My sister could grow up to be the next Albert Einstine, even with her dyslexia! So hah! Anyway, if you have ever made fun of someone with dyslexia like my sister, I really hope you apoligized to them later, or at least told them you were sorry. That probably made them feel really bad. If you never did, you should do it now because now you have heard from somebody who knows somebody with dyslexia, and believe me, it is NOT a walk in the park! It is hard, and people can be mean to you! And not just kids, adults and teens, too! My sister was thrown out of a school once because of her dyslexia, and they said she was dumb just because she had a bad form of it. But then she got titoring and got into a public school, and now she shines like the sun. She is so smart, the smartest girl I know. That is why I made her the hero of my story, and she gets to go to Hogwarts! And the teacher and principle at her old human school are not as bad as any of the teachers or principal my sister has had over the years, but I made them even worse in my story so you would feel sorry for Andrea (the character). I hope that no one is ever that mean to dyslexic peope or anyone else, and if they are, then they should be ashamed of themselves! No one deserves to be treated like that, even the people who do the treating. Even if you are mean to someone, you don't deserve someone to be mean to you. This is called giving someone a fair chance. If you ever meat my sister, or anyone else with dyslexia, I hope that you will give them a fair chance, too. Everyone deserves a fair chance. In WWII Hilter hated people because they were Jews, and then there was the Holocaust. If people start hating people because they are dyslexic, then there might be a Dyslexic Holocaust! Think about that the next time you consider making fun of a dyslexicperson. And alsoremember that a lot of times when peoplekill themselves, it is because other people at school were mean to them and making fun of them. I bet some of thosepeople had dyslexiallike my sister. Think about how many people mighthave killed themselves because you made fun of them. Now think about how many of those people might have been dyslexic. Even if they weren't, they still didn't deserve to die becauseeveryoneshould get a fair chance for life. Ijust think it is horrible that some peopledie because theyhave a different skin color or reglion.Diversity is a good think. Really. And I'm probably going to getbad reviews for saying this, but there really is nothing wrong with gay people. They are just different, I mean do you want everybody to be the same or something? Theyare just as good as everyone else andI really hate it when people use that as an insult.Youshouldn't say, "Oh, you're so gay!" because that's really mean, Imean how wouldyou feelif someone came up to youand said, "Oh, you're so straight!" as an insult. And you know those people who call you on the phone and try to sell you stuff? You shouldn't be mean to them, either. They are just doing their job; I mean, it's not like they are trying to annoy you. In some circumstances I'm sure that that is the only job they could get, and maybe their pay is docked because everyone hags up on them! Anyway, back to dyslexia. My sister used to come home crying almost every day becausekids and teachers at school would call her dumb.And they said even worse things, which I am not going to write here, because they arejust so mean and hateful. I can't imagine anyone saying anything like that to anyone, especially someone like my sister who has pretty low self esteem .Anyway,the next time you see someone making fun of a dyslexic person, remember my story. Tell the bullies to stop it, and make sure the person knows that at least you know that they are just as smart as everyone else. Who knows? It could even be my sister. So many people are getting hurt nowadays, because of dyslexia and many other things, sojust remember,you CAN make a difference. You CAN help them overcome their problems. You CAN be their friend. Don't worry, dyslexia isn't catching. The website Wikipedia says this about dyslexia: "Dyslexia is said to be a neurological disorder with biochemical and genetic markers. The popular definition for many years was that it is was a disability in which a person's perception is reversed or that a dyslexic sees things backwards and, therefore may read or write backwards." Please note that I did not write that,the website Wikipedia did! You can find thatwebsite at wikipedia.com. Please do not sue me for using thatsection in my profile, because Idid not writeit and I am not trying to claim I did! Pleeeeease don't sue! Really! I'm reallyreallyreallyreally not trying toplagerize! Sorry, lol, I'm just a little nervous about this. Anyway, back to dyslexia. Some people thinkthat being dyslexic means that you are dumb. This is not the case at all. I know plenty of people, my sister included, who have dyslexia and are really very smart. My sister Andrea is dyslexic, and has a very high GPA (that means Grade Point Average; it is a sum of all the grades you get in school combined). She will probably be validictorian and salutitorian when she graduates from high school in a few years. I think that is just great because she has dyslexia, and it proves that people with dyslexia can do anything. Huzzah! Anyway, she is really smart. Oh yeah, and one more thing, my sister doesn't really have a best friend named Crow, but I liked the name so I changed her best friend's name to that. Her real best friend is named Jenna, but I liked the idea of having a boy with a black Mohawk as her best friend better. I'm not sure yet if there will be kissing. Just in case you don't know, a crow is a type of bird. In my story, this symbolises (yes, I spellt it the British way, because I like their spelling better) this symbolises that Andrea (the character) can fly away from her problems, fly away and be free, just like a bird. I just hope my sister can do that as well. My favorite movie is Harry Potter, and same with the books. The sixth book was so cool! JK Rowling has so much talent! Back again, I decided to make another livejournal but this time I'm not making the username dyslexicsrock, so hpefully no one will be mean about it. Okay thanks. I can type reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally fast. |
