I find this very insulting. She says that it's a place for other kids my age who have the same "disfigurement" as me. Apparently, I'm not social enough. Um... yes, I am. I play Pool (or Billiards, as some might call it) with people at a Christian youth center that she also forces me to go to (I'm not even a Christian, but she doesn't know this) almost 2 times a day, and 2 days a week. I also hang out with my friends a lot. I don't know where the hell she got the idea that I was anti-social. She made me go to another center a few months before, but everyone there was below my age group, so she decided to not make me go there. I don't mind having to go to this place every Thursday, it's just that I feel very insulted that she even suggested this. She basically just called me retarded.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Should I go?
2. Do you think my Mom is right or wrong?
QWERTYCommander
first off being a speical needs center does not make you retarded. it just other people who have some problems in life the way they were born. second i believe your old enough to make your own decison but seem you can't here since you asking gamespot... :P ok now joking aside
1. up to you you could have a lot of fun or could be weirder out its all up to you and only you.
2. parents can be wrong she can't force you to go anything you don't want to go to if your old enough.
No, i dont think that being anti-social is really disability, i myself am anti social, and i never have considered it to be a problem

i think it has more to do with teh fact there not much to do. and i don't me personally want to go hang out at bars. its not my cup of tea. and no i don't drink tea. I don't get out much myself.
It isn't insulting to suggest that since you appear to give the impression of not being social (you say you are but hide it from her. So to her you are not). Hell, I went to special needs centers as a kid for different reasons.
Should you go? Not if you don't want to. It is not right for your mother to force you to.
My parents made me see a counselor because I had "Anger management problems" when I was a kid; when in reality, they would yell at me, and I would get upset because that's how humans behave when being yelled at by their parents. We went maybe twice before the lady probably decided it was pointless.
Depends how old you are really. If you're still at home (which im guessing you are) then you kinda have to abide by her rules unfortunately. Maybe tell her that there is nothing wrong with you (without shouting) and that you're not christian and don't have all of the same values as her anymore. If you talk to her objectively and with maturity, she may understand. If she doesn't, she may be close-minded and you may be better off away from her all together.
Go there and become a leader of the special need kids. Than become there mentor. Than there hero. Than when a girl asks what you do on the weekends tell her you go hang out with and help the mentally challenged with there problems. Take her with you there... Congratulations, you just got laid, and who knows you may make some great friends. The mentally challenged in my experiences are usually some of the most sincere beautiful people you will ever meet with hearts of gold. Ive had many of them as friends and there the best. It may be good for you.
