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. (link)

If anything, this should give you more reason TO walk with the rest of your class. Not walking could draw more attention to yourself. Instead, be proud! You graduated just like they did. You deserve to be there just as much. And when you're up there, don't think of people watching, instead think of what you accomplished and what more you'll accomplish ahead. When the audience looks at you, they won't see someone with cerebral palsy, they'll see another 8th grader who's moving on in life!
