Many of the deaf community were not aware of certain
sayings and certain "common sence" principles that I
take for granted. They were also not aware of what
other thought of their actions, since so few of them
are able to communicate with them. In this respect,
many of them take longer to mature. Even in college
many of them are dating several people at once,
sleeping around, talking like teenagers, have pre-teen
jealous fits and the like. It's like, "Didn't anyone
tell you that that was wrong ... ah ... I guess you
never heard it." Unless someone makes a concious
effoert to tell them, they won't know (like your
Church issue. If noone says it so you can hear, how
will you know?)
