I am 17 & I have CP called Hemiplegia on my right side. I was diagnosed 1 month before my 1st birthday. I take ballet since I was 5. I am under 5'0 tall.
what if you have CP, which is mild enough for you talk perfectly and socialize well, yet as soon as people see you walk, they behave uncomfortable or avoid you and patronize you. LOL. your parents say "you're lovely the way you are". but you know and have known for a long time that something is wrong, not to mention you cant get a job or a "girl"
i am 13 and want to be a therapist for ppl who have cp cause it just hurts me to see them and their frustration when ppl call them retarded when there not
I have Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. My name Is Chontelle. I hate it when i get pick on from my school mates. I know how you feel. All the best for you and your family:) xo
I have Hemiplegia Cerebral Palsy & My name is Michaela Schwartz & I hate when friends at my middle school called my names. I go to Madonna School & my friends do not call me names at all.
I have CP in my legs so I walk inward. I'm very self conscious, but when people make comments or laugh, I tell them about my condition so they have a better understanding of where I'm coming from.
i also walk inwards because i have c.p in my hips legs and spine.. i want to write a book so people will understand how it feels to live at 16 with c.p
I have dipleagia that affects my arms and legs also a teen that gets frustrated when my friends my fun of me and others don't try and get to know me, do have a hard time getting a girlfriend I do
i tend to ignore what people say about me my friends understand but people who dont know me dont understand this is why i find it hard to find a boyfriend (cos im a girl) i shouldnt have to write a book to tell people to understand they should just do it... because they should exept that everyone is different in their own special way.....
ps: i have got a boyfriend who understands me which is great and i wish i could give you advice on how to get a girlfriend xx
Your video is awesome! I have a student (Kelsey McVey) who also made a video about CP. Your video is so moving, my students will love showing it to others! Thanks for sharing!
*crying* this is so moving! My college teacher send us this link for my online class "exceptional children". Thanks for the posting of this! It's great!
my brother has a disabilty. When everyone luaghs he thinks they are luaghing at him. I wish he could be better. As a sister I want to find a cure for Spastic Diplegia.
i have cereabal palsy spastic 1 and servere hip conditions i find it really painful i have physio twice a week and hospital every week i had surgery and i was in a wheelchair for 8 months and crutches and splints whuch i still wear and use crutches
I'm 14 and I have CP. I have worked very hard to get where I am today. This demonstrates to everyone that people are the same even if they have a disibility or not. It's reflecting all of my emotions. Thanks for posting.
my husband has cp. He worked very hard to get where he is today. I accept him as he is. We are all souls afterall using a body. I thank God for giving him such wonderful mum, family and friends who support him as well. Stay strong.
I am 26 and have CP. Actually, mine is spastic hemiplegia. Some days it's painful when I walk, but I don't let it get me. instead I see it as something making me unique.
I have a 21 year old daughter with CP we are not all laughing many of us are crying inside that such beautiful people can be so unfairly treated we love you all
My youngest has sev quad mixed tone cerebral palsy, GERDS, aspiration problems with recurring aspiration pneumonia,failure to thrive, ashtma,reactive airway disease, seizures, J feeding tube.....
fantatic video, my little boy has cp he was diagnoised when he was 2 and a year later on 16th Aug 07 it will be a year when he was diagnoised and he has come so far, and im so proud of him. He still cant walk on his own yet but hes such a happy and independant little boy, and that video was excelent, it spoke for every child that has a disablity.
this video is amazing. i couldn't even imagine what it would be like. people take so much for granted and let the little things get to them. all of you are in my prayers.
I have mild Cerebral Palsy, and I'm in a wheelchair. It's a shame that so many people always misconceive its definition. It has to do with mobility only; not intellegence. I don't know why people stereotype it as being a mental disorder. That's just pure ignorance.
Hi, I have a group called Cerebral Palsy Awareness from facebook website. And, I have added this video on the facebook because this is a excellent video; beautiful and sad at the same time. Anyone who are living with CP or know someone with CP, please feel free to join my group!!
I have cerebral palsy, I have a mild toe walk and another invisible symptom which might as well be a family trait and that is that my hand writing is not too good. But I can write, walk, talk a storm, drive...
At age 25, I am still single, and never had a relationship. I never could find work, either. This eats me from inside because all I want is to have a nice wife, kids, and go to work to make sure they live in confort.
Kikusaro, I am 22 and I have Cerebral Palsy too. My left leg turns in, I walk toe to heel, I can't move my hips, I have a slight tilt when I sit and my left arm and hands are week, but I get by like you have...I just graduated college this year too. I have an accounting degree and a business one as well -- still can't find a job. Do you think it has something to do with CP? I want the same things as you -- how have things worked out for you?
I am a teacher and this video made me renew my faith that there is hope in every child!! Look beyond the surface and you see a diamond in every child. Thanks for posting such a meaningful video. Great job! Cheers!
i heard the same message of tollerance from just about everyone i know and have known. the fear of being hated or unwanted is the one thing people have in common.
my boyfriend has Cerebral Palsy, but walks now. he's my Gwynplaine.
I was born with cerebral palsy and now at the age of eighteen you would never know. Before watching this video I knew I wanted to do something for those who werent as lucky as I was, to recover. I am becoming a physical therapist. Some people dont understand why PT instead of becomeing a doctor but now I can just point them to this video. THANK YOU
I dont even want help from my own family sometimes. I feel like the weight at the end of the shackles slaves wear. Im sick of being told Im only feeling sorry for myself I have a heart and feelings Im human sheesh HUMAN! HUMAN! A PERSON!!!!. thanks for making a video on the subject I have cp along with five other disabilities.
this is sooo good I am a mother with a 16 yr old boy with cp since birth,confined to a chair ,unable to use right side and so many time people stare n watch my son says i wish they would ask instead of look at me and sometimes he gets so sad and frustrated because people dont know what it like depending on someone to help you or fix your food or help with dressing .God bless you
This made me cry so much. I used to babysit for a girl with CP. I have watched her grow up from a 3 yr old to a beautiful teenager. She has inspired me more than anyone could in this world. I have choosen my career path because of her. I also work for a summer camp for kids with special needs. And I just love to talk to my kiddies and miss them dearly until the next summer that I can see them. I wish people werent so cruel. Everyone out there needs a good sensitivity training.
Cool video. My sister and a very close friend of mine have CP and I also used to be a carer for a wonderful boy with severe quad CP before I became too disabled with another condition myself to do the job. Those 3 people are actualy some of the best people i've ever known and I hate how they've all had people judge them to be worthless coz of the bodies they live in!
dude your a fag. stop bitching and asking for peoples pity. your gayer than aids, didnt know people with cerebral palsy could be fags as well.
