Don't you hate touretts

It's so hard living with tourette for me... I have become overly depressed (possibly bipolar) and sometimes suicidal. I'm only 13... And i get bullied... Especially cyber bullying alot. My mom wouldn't let me get medications because of side affects. However it seems to get worse. Teachers hate me although I'm smart. How about you? Similar experiances?

i know this was one month ago, but, it's actually gotten better over the last month. Yeah i used to blink non-stop for 3 years (Grade 4-7) and now i do minor neck ticks. And now i have a gf who's loving anyways, so yeah, its becoming better, i think. And im sorry you're bipolar... :( Hope everything slowly becomes better for you.

I had tourette as a teen and it is very hard at that age or any age.  I know kids are so cruel.  My tourettd went away in about a year.  I blinked my eys nonstop, what about you?  As far as your teachers hating you, I think every kid thinks their teacher hates them...I think it is okay.  Oh, I am bipolar too.
