What to say to people like this?

Wow Piper..this is a very hard situation for you, and I can tell that it's really hurting you. My dad fought the school system to keep me OUT of special Ed, and in 'mainstream' school. I'm not stupid (though sometimes a bit naive and sometimes ignornat), I jsut had my problems tah I got help for and dealt with. I was lucky enough to PROVE to the school, and eventually other students, that I was not learning disabled, just different. Parochial and private schools DO cost more, and many of them do test students forthe ability to handle the harder and more in-depth cles. I tested, like a lot of otherkids I knew, and I did make the scores that would have allowed me to go to almost any school I wanted. I opted to stay in the public school system for my own reasons, and I have not regretted that atall, and you should not feel any regret that your 'friends' didn't test high enough to get into he schools that they wanted. It's really a shame that they turned on you like that, but that in itself should tell you what kind of 'friends' they really are. It sounds cold, but you should go on with what you have earned the right to do, and that is to choose what is best for YOU, regardless of anyone else's opinion. Anyone that is a REAL and TRUE friend would NEVER act that way towards you. As bad as it may sound, you a e better off cutting your 'losses' now, and finding freinds that really ARE friends. It's sad and it's mean what they are doing to you, and it's THEIR loss by not just accepting wha tis a plain and simple fact; you earned it.
