[Fangz]

No, I'll be going into year eleven!

[ThaGazBoi]

Ooo im not alone!! Im not looking forward to it, but on the positive side, 2 weeks after i go back, i go to turkey for two weeks!

[Fangz]

Lucky you! I'm actually looking forward to going back, because I really like history and art. Plus, it's a great way to meet up with your mates.

One of my sisters has special needs, and the school she goes to does feck all about actually teaching her.

[Siouxsie]

aww thats not nice i do everything i can i work with autistic children

[Fangz]

Oh, scoobs, I'm not saying anything about you, honest!
It just really upsets me that my little sis doesn't get the help she needs...

[Siouxsie]

aww i know that i would feel the same what is her special need ?

[ThaGazBoi]

I have special needs *Sighs* something called Dyspraxia, Not dyslexia

Ive had it all my life, but im doing better at school then the school ever thought i would

[Fangz]

It's not a specific condition as such, she got whooping cough just after she was born, and as a result she suffered brain-damage. She's also very small and thin for her age, she's six but wears clothes for two-three year olds, and even then they're a bit baggy sometimes.

Her speech is quite difficult to understand for most people (not family-members, or people she spends a lot of time with.) Her balance and coordination are bad and she isn't as mentally developed as she ought to be.

[ThaGazBoi]

Im sorry to hear about your sister Fangz

[Fangz]

That's okay, gaz. She's still really nice and sweet, it just makes me sad to think about the stuff she'll miss out on in life. She's always going to need someone to look after her.

[ThaGazBoi]

Stories like these make me emotinal. I cant belive the pain some youngsters go threw

[Siouxsie]

so does she have speech therapy ?

[Fangz]

No, she did, but now that therapist has moved off-island so she's waiting for the next one to be drafted in from England. That's why everything's so **** on this island, teachers, speech-therapists, psychiatrists, whatever, they're all moving on-and-off island, while the demand for them gets higher and higher...

[Siouxsie]

...Well, it's not pain as such. She just gets frustrated sometimes when people don't know what she's trying to say. Also, some kids can be bastards, I remember an eleven year old boy taking the mick out of her cos she couldn't talk properly. I screamed at him so much I gave myself a sore throat.
