It's great to have people in your life who understand and support you. These people may live with you, be at school, or part of your community.
Activity: Think of someone who is important to you and who you could ask for help with something.

"I love being in the playground, I talk to my friends."
"The people who really understand me are the disabled children in school, because we understand each other, how isolating it is. Your life is different when you walk differently. We want people who can have a laugh about disabilities. I have disabled and non-disabled friends who can laugh about our body spasms."
"I was bullied at my old school and had no friends. Now I'm at a new school. It's mixed and I have lots of friends."
