Rude,Judging and staring!

Today is the last day of EB awareness week: I have been asked this many times how do you put up with people being rude or judging or staring at you? To be honest it never easy for anyone.

Everyone knows this saying, " You should not judge a book by the cover," or you should not judge a person by the way they look." Some of you reading this might be saying to yourself, what does this have to do with EB. I will try to explain why.

There are people out in this world that has a hard time accepting people for who they are. If you really think about it is not just to do with EB it is to do with anyone the has a disability.

I find that people think that because I look a little different I cannot hear what they saying about me or see the faces they are making at me. I have learnt to just ignore those people, and I have learnt once you accept yourself for who you are life get a little easier. I will say I'm proud of who I'm and if I did not have EB I would not be as strong as I am today. Although we look a little different we all are the same in some ways.

Although today is the last day of EB awareness week you can still learn about EB though out the year. You can check my blog or Debra Canada. Thank you for taking your time to read what I have posted about EB this week.
