Answer 1

My BFF has a learning disorder and people treat her differently. Don't take them seriously. They are just nervous because they don't know what dyslexia is. You ar NOT stupid!!! Find a true friend that will listen to you. It will boost your confidence and help you be happy. I hope this helps you.

Hi, I know it can be frustrating being different. My son has dyslexia and has had some teachers who were supportive and some who weren't. If your parents  talk to the teacher that can help. The schools can put special plans in place to help called 504 plans (in the USA). My son has permission to use audio books and record lectures when he needs to, and take extra time on tests. And it also helps to know all the really SMART people who have dyslexia. Check out http://www.dyslexia-test.com/famous.html

You should be able to find some translucent color plastic thing at Staples or another office supply store, try to get yellow. Even sometimes I've seen notebooks with this kind of material. If you put it over the paper it makes your mind focus more.

Some people have glasses with a light blue or light yellow tint. That would help a lot, but might make you stand out even more in class.

It works for me, give it a shot and see how you do.
