The line to remain uncrossed

There's a line between being careful and being downright mean.
When I was in elementary school, many people crossed to the mean side. I was instructed by teachers to sit at the designated "peanut allergy table," which was supposed to make me feel more comfortable and less at risk, but it just made me feel isolated and miserable. I switched back to my normal classroom table. Also, sometimes kids would tease me and shove Nutella in my face. This is not okay at all because it actually both physically and mentally bothered me (the smell made me nauseous). People should be respectful and cautious, but not to the extent that it's exclusive. Like I've said in other blogs, we allergy people aren't allergic to the subject. We don't need to be discriminated against because we have allergies either. Of course, not everyone realizes this and won't follow this perfectly. Don't let it get you down! You're not worse than anyone else because of your allergy. You're different. You're YOU and that's okay! :)
