I'd give her another chance - rather than yelling or telling other people how she upsets you, sit down with her in a quiet place.
Let her know how much it hurts you when she treats you this way; dyslexia does NOT mean you are dumb, and you can tell her that her comments not only hurt you, but they make her look uninformed. Tell her that you only want friends who treat you in the way everyone deserves to be treated, and then see what happens.
I hate to break it to you, but anyone who constantly makes fun of you is NOT a friend. You'd be better off finding people who understand that as humans, we each have things that make us unique. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]
My little brother has dilexia too. The best way to past some of your exams is just to grab a tutor. It helps me sooo much. Having a teacher during the day is not enough, for me. I am sure they have dilexic tutors out there, you just have to look. :)
Hope I helped
Pura Morena :)
