The MHE and Me Teen Scene

The Meeting Place

Let's face it - Being a teen is tough, even if you don't have a rare bone disorder! But if you do happen to have MHE, well you know that you have some challenges that other kids probably don't have.  You may be having difficulties at school keeping up with the work load or with the other kids in gym class. You might be teased, or just afraid that someone might tease you or say something mean. You may be nervous about making new friends as you move up to middle school or high school, or you might be feeling badly because some of your old friends don't hang out with you anymore.  Well, here's a place to hear what other kids in middle school and high school have to say, to find some new friends who understand what you're feeling, and to share what you've learned with other kids.

How are you feeling today?
