You are not stupid. I wanted to tell you that. I know right now you believe that and you think you are stupid and worthless but your not.

You struggle with reading,writing, spelling, remembering things, you had speech therapy for your lisp, and you have extra help, you couldn’t ride a bike and to this day you still don’t know how but hey you can drive a car and ride a horse which is a lot better. I know it takes you three times as long to finish homework, I know you try your best and you get bad grades. But that’s okay. You tried. Your not stupid. Your not worthless. Your dyslexic. I know the 8 year old me won’t know what that means, but it’s why you struggle. It’s way you can’t read or write as well as your friends. It’s why you can’t remember your homework. It’s why you had to have speech therapy to help you talk for four years. It’s why you think your stupid. People will tease you about all of this but understand this:they are wrong you are not stupid, your dyslexic there is a BIG difference. You won’t know about this until your 13 which is going to be the most awesome day when you understand that you’re not stupid. 

You are not worthless. You are not stupid. 

Dyslexia may be a bad thing in many ways because you struggle with writing and reading and processing information when everyone else finds it easy, but they’re some good things to it: 

It’s makes you a creative person with an unlimited imagination. That is the best thing you could ask for. 

You may struggle with reading and writing but you will find a love for it, even if you require special tinted glasses to read.  

You find a love for photography, Art, horse riding, creative writing, and it turns out your actually really good at those things which maybe if your dyslexia didn’t exist then you might not like or be good at those things. 

Dyslexia is complicated and it means you struggle with writing,reading, memory and spelling and you have to work harder at those things your friends, but it’s good too because it makes you have a creative mind. 

Your not worthless. Your not stupid. 

Your dyslexic there is a big difference!
