Rise Up (Deaf Awareness Short Film)

I can't stop cry so hard because I'm deaf, deaf so beauty and good sign language that's why I feel proud of deaf.

You're beautiful as well too🥰

[@Crzystars79]

Yeah same...I am deaf too

[@An-Chliste]

Agree very much! ASL is a beautiful language! ! Deaf culture is also beautiful!

[@briannareinhardt3263]

I'm not deaf but I LOVE using asl in school when I'm mad at my bullies because they don't know anything to do with asl and it's just my one super power that I love.

[@tudormiller8898]

Good for you. I'm not hard of hearing, but I do have a neurological disability called Auditory Processing Disorder..

[@denvertikky4088]

Why did you learn sign? I'm interested!

[@moniquebriseno9863]

@@denvertikky4088 some people have family that are deaf and learn. Now at some high schools they have asl as a class to take. Whichever it was I recommend you taking a free class. Its really awesome

My boyfriend and I are deaf and when. I was in school this bully broke my cochlear implant and she punched me real good my boyfriend saw me and carry me to the nurses he grabbed one of the interpreter and they both came to the nurse office and he told me sign language don’t worry I’m not leaving u alone again and ever since he would wait outside my class room or he would get one of his friends to get me to bring me to him when the interpreter left my class room

[@emmamartin8558]

I’m hard of hearing and a lot of people at my school only know very basic signs so if I ever want to talk about somebody I do it in sign language so they have no clue what I’m saying.

[@amakalorraine6213]

Starts by not Calling is hearing impaired

[@An-Chliste]

The start of this was painful to watch. ASL should be taught to, and learned by, every American. America is in the name! ASL is a versatile, useful and beneficial language! The uses of ASL are unlimited!!! Very powerful video!

[@mariguelmendez4530]

Deaf is powerful!!!!👍👍👍👍👍☝☝☝☝

[@IIoveasl10]

I am not deaf, but I was a special education teacher in America, therefore learnt ASL. I was born in France, spent 16 years there. I learnt French sign language. When my mother died in Israel, I learnt hebrew and Israeli sign language. Since 2011, I am a volunteer at the "house of Hellen Keller". I love "sign languagage" .

[@SignDuoChannel]

That's so cool!!!!

[@moniquebriseno9863]

My daughter 15 and teaches asl at her high school. She was born hard of hearing and has lots of friends who are deaf. Their funny normal silly kids. Wish people wouldn't make fun or bully for being born differently. I've notice a lot of the kids are going through a lot right now in high school and hope you all know you'll rise up above all this. Thank you for the video

[@andyvan5692]

great film, I have Autism, another communication disability, we cant talk because some of us don't know the body language, so get you, GOOD JOB guys, just remember, people living with a disability are NEVER alone, even if there is just two of us, we get each other and can show each other the respect we ALL deserve, even if 'non- neurodivergent' people cant.

The signing speed is good in this film . Some times signing can be done so fast that it appears to be a blur of finger and hand movements . Old eyes can`t read that fast . This video slowed it to a legible and understandable . A key point in deaf awareness .

[@ryangray4353]

Note: This is my opinion, and not based on facts. I hope you all understand my point of view. No matter the issue or situation, regardless if someone understands asl or not, the deaf people are strong, kind, brave, and overall understanding. I'm not deaf or hard of hearing but I think that learning asl is very important (and cool in my opinion). For all those people out there that think that deaf people are stupid and broken, you all need a wake up call, that statement is truly wrong. Deaf people are just as capable as any other person living and breathing on earth. They are just like a hearing person in every way, the only difference is that they can't hear and that they rely on their hands to talk to people. Like my parents always tell me, you don't EVER judge a book by its cover. No one on earth has the right to judge somebody just because they can't hear. I am learning asl... so I can communicate with deaf people because they need to feel like they have something to live for (not saying the some deaf don't, I just feel that alot of the deaf are sick of being bullied or being looked at differently - and I get that). I want deaf people to understand that just because you are deaf, makes you no different then me. Let me ask all y'all a question? For those of you that are not deaf... do you know what it's like to be considered an "outcast" because you can't hear or be bullied because you don't understand what someone is saying? I can tell you right now, I don't, but I wouldn't want anyone else to go through that. Ever deaf person on this planet should be proud to be who they are no matter what background they have, you are all people worth listening to. Listen to the deaf makes them feel heard. If they feel heard, it puts a smile on their face, which would/will put a smile on mine. Never forget~ To all the deaf people that are out their that read this comment, just know that I believe in the power of kindness. I am hear to stand beside you. You are intelligent, kind, smart, funny, original no matter the cost. You all have voices, and all should be heard. I love each and every one of you 🥰🥰🥰 Never stop believing in yourself.

[@abcuts8664]

@@wickitywackjack3749 first at all i don't have friends anymore. When i become deaf after 5th grade i left school and hearing friends of here. 3 years Later i found a good deaf school and took addmission there. But unfortunately my bad luck chased me there too. I had strock of paralysis and i had to left that school as well And Never got chance to go back there. The deaf friends who did teach me sign language, with whom i used to share my feelings, left too. And that was the hardest part of my life. So what i was saying that i don't have friends. Though I'm still in contact with them in social media. But i don't meet them in personal. My family use some basic sign language and sometimes speak with me loudly which doesn't always make me understand what they're saying.

[@alexishamer6427]

There are 5 types of hearing loss. Mild hearing loss is plenty of normal hearing with limited amount of hearing loss, moderate hearing loss is both deafness 🧏 and normal hearing, severe hearing loss is plenty of deafness 🧏‍♀️ and limited amount of normal hearing and finally profound 🧐 hearing loss is completely deaf 🧏‍♂️ in one ☝️ or two ears 👂👂 🦻🦻 where there is no hearing at all. When people have profound 🧐 hearing loss, they wear a hearing aid/aids 🦻🦻 in one or two ears 👂👂 which is cochlear implants. The profound 🧐 hearing is around 95%. Profound hearing loss is the worst hearing in the world 🌍. It honestly happens to be true that there are people have hearing loss all over the world 🌎. 🙂
