I just graduated from high school and i have a lazy eye and its a really sensative subject for me because ive been made fun of my whole life by enemies, family and even close friends (behind my back). I was wondering how i should deal with it because evertime someone says something about it all this anger and pain just keep building up inside... its really getting to me?

Some lazy eyes can be treated medically. Medically your condition is referred to as Amblyopia. If you search this word you may have better luck with finding available treatments. The basic idea behind most treatment modalities is to cover your dominant eye up (physically) and only use your "lazy eye" to strengthen the muscles and increase its use. Medically they can you topical atropine on your good eye to blur its vision and force the "lazy eye" to take over. You would need to see a doctor about a more specific treatment regimen regarding lenght of treatment, but I hope this helps.

Would you be able to just explain the problem the next time somebody starts making fun of it? Could you quietly but firmly tell them that it's a lazy eye, that you've had it forever and that should be the end of the conversation.
Isn't there something that can be done to help it?I just found some sites that you might check into: www.junkbrsnews.com; www.improve-vision.com; www.raysahelian.com

people can be very cruel to others especially if someone has something that isn't considered to be the norm. Despite what you have been through....continue to disregard what they say . Words can hurt despite the old saying 'Sticks and stones can hurt my bones, but words can never hurt me.' Words CAN and do hurt. Love yourself and your body...including your lazy eye! People always try to make themselves look better to others by making fun of someone else...it really only makes the person who is making fun of the person look like the idiot! Self absorbed and ignorant....let's hope they never have an injury or illness that will incapacitate them in some way. Be 'bigger' than they are and do not pay any attention to their ignorance!

While you're at home alone, put a patch over the good eye to teach the other one how to work.

Well, don't ignore it. Make fun of it with them. Laugh at yourself. Making fun of yourslf with them will take the fun away of laughing at you. Why make fun of someone who joins in? They should stop.
But don't socialize with anyone who makes fun of unless you have to. You don't need them. They aren't really your friends if they hurt you like that.
