oh hey tfmel

(continued from description) "My art teacher told me and (excuse the language) b**ched to my parents that i shouldn't be doing art because of my 'unfortunate disability' and 'should give up on her career choice. She hasn't got a chance.'
She doesn't take into account the amount of effort i put into my artwork, even when i do really well. Recently she said i was over complicating things, in other words, made too much of an effort.
I find it extremely upsetting and discriminating....it's getting too much to take.

sorry it's long, but thanks for reading"

INSTRUCTIONS: Comment below with advice for @TFmel.

wow. I have a friend whos Albino and personally i think its awesome not unfortunite! As for art and seeing problems, im no doctor so i cant help ya there,... but just find comfert in friends and family and know that im praying for you (even if your not a Christian)

@TFmel
I am so sorry to hear this! This teacher is being way out of line! I would speak to someone over her head. There is NO reason for her/him to do this to you. In my book, this is a person being predijust against disabled people! As far as (over doing things) as this person says, allot of people do. This teacher needs to learn to teach, be supportive, and have a better attitude! Or get a different job. We pay teachers to teach!
Oh this really is upsetting! Anything I can do, please let me know! And please realize, this is the teachers opinion, I myself know your a wonderful artist and person! And I only know you from colors.
In the meantime, I hope I helped some. Not to good with words, sorry. Hang in there hun!
MEGA ANGELBEAR HUGS!!

you can do whatever you beleive in

Soooo many successful people have been told they'll fail. You just can't listen to them, you use your gifts and don't give up!

Art's not something to "give up on" just because others don't like what you create or think you don't have any talent. Art is something you do for yourself. I suck at Smash Bros but I don't play it to win or get good at it I play because it's fun and I want to. Why does everything have to be a f****ing competition now? Teachers should encourage art. (and I'm NOT saying you're a bad artist - I haven't even seen your work, but even you were "bad" - which I believe there is no such thing as "bad" art - that's no reason not to do it.) Sheesh what a b**** of a teacher.

I could be wrong, but from what you said, it sounds like things were fine until she found out about your "disability" and then she started singling you out, which of course would be discrimination if that's true and, depending on the state you live in, against the law or school rules at least. I've seen your art and we even collabed, so unless you're amazing with a 3DS and terrible on paper, it has nothing to do with your art. Prejudices are what really affects vision. When we prejudge someone, we can't even recognize art. You're not the one with vision issues. So, I would recomend going to the prin.cipal with your parents and let them know about the discrimination. Even if you can't get a new teacher, she'll have to change. Remember, the prejudice blinds her, so she may not even realize what she's doing. A wake up call is necessary for her as much as for you.

@everyone
thank you all so much for the support, it really does mean a lot. I'll do what I can to put all your advice to practice. I'll never stop drawing because all I can do is my best, disability or not

@TFmel
Oh wow. Thaaat sounds like discrimination to me. Like WTH!?
Look, I think the best thing to do is let someone know that this person should get a different job.
And just for that "Teacher"'s information, there have been a ton of people out there who've been successful in their choice career regardless of theur handicaps or some other intellectual obstacles that looked impossible to shake off.
I'll name two.

Ben Carson: Class dummy turned world-famous Nerosurgeon

Hellen Keller: Blind and deaf, but learned to read, write, and speak. (But you probably already knew this <w<)

So my point is, keep on drawing and make sure you throw all of the opinions this "Art Teacher" has out the nearest window.

I'm really sorry :( if you have friends in your art class, sit with them and talk to them, and they will cheer you up.
