Hello.
I'm Maddie. I'm 16. And I'm dyslexic.
I was diagnosed in 3rd grade but nothing was done. Now I am close to graduating 10th grade and I feel... Hopeless.
My school hasn't offered any extra help. My English teacher knows of my struggles and still doesn't let me check out a book or take longer on a quiz than most of the kids.
Last week my chemistry teacher was looking at my grades from last semester and said "why are your grades so low. You look like a student who does well in school but you are lazy, you need to find a way to focus. I told her I was dyslexic and all she said was, there's no excuses. You can read? You can write? I won't give you any special treatment.

I'm really stuck. I feel like giving up and I have absolutely no one I can talk to who understands how I feel or how to help me she. I don't even know how To help myself.
