First of all, I'm sorry that you experienced that, you did not deserve to be humiliated, in fact, no one deserves to be humiliated like that. I'm more disappointed with your professor though. In my Se...

Go to the administration with regards to your prof laughing at you. It’s discrimination based on disability or at the very least, unprofessional to the point of violating the code of conduct or staff ...

Are we doomed in Life?

Are we doomed in Life? I'm about to turn 23 and the last 6 years I've spend literally rotting not seeing a way out. The moment at 16 whenI realized I was different to my peers, that people viewed me ...
