I have severe scoliosis. Today I met a friend who looked at me and said "You are more twisted, I see."

How would one respond? I just said nothing, It hurt.

    People can be cruel and I remember when my friends and people found out that I was epileptic, the would shout out all types of names that hurt but after a short time I turned it around and started joking about my epilepsy and they soon stopped and it also stopped me feeling subconsciously about my disability.

    The past couple of weeks I have been mocked and bullied because I am deaf. Not by just any person but someone who should act professional as their job is to help others. It does hurt and it makes me so angry.

    Have you spoken to anybody about it?have you spoken to anybody about it?  Have you reported it as a 'hate crime' to Neighbourhood Police Team?

     have you exported it as a 'hate crime to your Neighbourhood poll ice team'?  In Salford we have report places to have such things recorded.  Or have you complained to anybody?

    I am sad to hear that many others have had this sort of treatment. Law will not allow me to pursue it further.

    But it is important to have it reported and recorded - to get recognised, any education etc needed focused and funded.  Make sure you have a report number and ask for reasons leading to inaction in writing to you.
