Q: Okay so I am 14/f and will be graduating from 8th grade this year. The only thing is i do not want to go to my graduation because i dont want to have to walk infront of all the people, this is because I have Cerebral Palsy. It is a disorder that cause tight hamstings and makes me walk ver different from others. I am very self consious of this. I want to be a part of graduation but walking on stage and down an aisile(sp?) really acres me. I know that other should not judge me but. I just really dont know what to do any advice would help.I also have a big problem with stage fright and public things such as this ..if that means anything.

Be proud of who you are! Look yourself in the mirror and pinpoint everything you like about yourself. Don't compare your body to other people's bodies because they are different people. Maybe you have some trouble walking or trouble dancing normally. So what! Maybe you have great hair or stunning eyes. You have come a long way through middle school and you'll regret not going to your graduation just because your scared to walkin front of everyone. Walk proudly, be proud of your body. Many victims of Cerebral Palsy are confined to a wheelchair! You are lucky enough to be able to WALK! Give everyone a big smile! Kids your age should be mature enough to not taunt you because of physical limits, so don't sweat it! Different is good. If everyone were the same think of how our lives would be. So don't tell yoursef that you walk differently say that "you have trouble walking because of your disability". Because of this disability you are a stronger person :]
**You won't fall because everyone will be seceretly cheering you on. Your parents, your siblings, and your friends. With them on your side you'll be invincible!**
