Re: This girl faked a seizure today in my class.....
Posted by ThusSpokeLaLolita
thats incredibly sad
yes it is
and frightening
TRUST ME...I understand that most people do not know what it is like to see someone faking a seizure..
i understand that most people have very little experience with seizures at all..
YES it can be scary
BUT It can be funny, as i have said NUMEROUS times when done poorly...
POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLY
POORLY
it usually has the person looking at you and watching to see what you are doing..
then they shake a little....when you look away they stop and look at you and wait for you to turn around to face them..
then they shake a hip...then a arm..
sometimes they will say...i am having a seizure...
YET the min you turn around...they stop...
again...people relly have no clue what it is like to see such a thing
but funny it is

you know someone who has died during a seizure?
thats a pretty rare case. it usually NEVER happens. like ever...
it was an extremely rare occurance for Laura.... it involved electricity.
dead baby jokes are totally different. i dont deny i have amorbid sense of humor.
if you find it funny, fine, but like i said, i am speaking for myself and saying that I could never find humor in it.
Had to jump in just to say I found it odd you were upset with Jen b/c of just this....That you think dead baby jokes are funny but not faking a seizure?
Why is it different ?
I have a dead baby, I dont think they are funny....Same reasoning you gave to the seizure jokes( faking) not being funny right?
I guess everyones idea of funny is different and not easily judged.

I bet it is funny AS a kid. But when you are an ADULT in a classroom, as the op was, and responsible for 30 kids, I bet it's not funny.
no...and i have actually never seen a whild do it..
ONLY ADULTS...as an ADULT it was funny

red, im kind of shocked that you find it funny.
its a serious matter and shouldnt be taken lightly.
because jess...
i see it done all the time.
it isn't sooo serious
And if you saw it..I WOULD BET you would laugh yourself..
some are in fact extremely comical.
People do it as i said for one of two reasons...
1. attention
2. escape..
Kids used to fake illness all the time when i was a kid to get out of school crap..
Sure this is taking it a step further..and kinda dangerous...well can be dangerous because this kids arse would be sent straight to a Er and possibly a neurologist to have medication increased unnecessarily
BUT....LIKE I SAID....if you see it..some are very funny.
I am sure this was the first time the OP has ever seen it...So i understand that shock and fear of it..
BUT..that doesn't take away from how funny they can be
I bet it is funny AS a kid. But when you are an ADULT in a classroom, as the op was, and responsible for 30 kids, I bet it's not funny.
In a school setting, with a classroom full of students, I don't see how one could find it funny. Your other students must have totally freaked out.
Jen, maybe one on one or if you know the person's history, it may be silly I am sure you can see how if you were in charge of a room full of impressionable students, it would not be funny. A teacher cannot condone that kind of behavior, whatever the attention the student was looking for.

great, here we go again.....
because one is a joke. one is someone immitating something completely scary and possible.
one is a JOKE. jokes are offensive to different people.
someone faking a seizure is very different. its very real and scary.
because i find a joke funny i guess it just means that i should find THIS funny too? please!
eta: i agreed to disagree with Red... if you notice i said that i PERSONALYL cant find any humor in it.

Re: This girl faked a seizure today in my class.....
Imagine being a kid with a siezure disorder and someone in your class FAKES a seizure because they find it funny. Now how funny are fake seizures?
Is tonight going to be LIF drama over fake seizures?
If my kid ever faked a seizure in front of other kids, he/ she would be in some severe trouble with me. And I am very laid back about most kid behaviors.

i know...
i never said they weren't scary either
nor did i think or say every faked one is funny..
I am sure as a teacher it can be scary and make some impression on the kids..
but to be honest...i have heard a HELL OF A LOT of crazy crap from the so called "normal" kids in schools these days
i made it a point to say the BADLY acted ones are funny..

So you dont like it when your humor is questioned...you may want to rethink questioning someone elses.

what i guess i find weird is that you can't understand that there are actually
DIFFERENT CONTEXTS to this that could render it funny

Sorry, but even if a comedian was faking a seizure and it was a comedian I really liked (like Jim Carrey), I still would not find it funny. It's just not a funny subject to me.

so be it...
i am sure to some it isn't funny..
but i think that people should be able to see that they do NOT KNOW everything ....
again...i get that people do not have the experiences that i have..
so i understand...
but i am not a morbid person by any means...
i take illness seriously...
but when a seizure is faked...some are funny
funny to many
i guess only people in my feild can understand

eta: i just noticed that you added to your post and wanted to reply... i would NEVER EVER EVER tell a dead baby joke to someone who had a baby or lost a baby or had a miscarraige or anything like that. i'm not cruel.
and the jokes are in all honestly pretty tame, i would never say one that was REALLY bad.

Re: This girl faked a seizure today in my class.....
I really don't see any humor in it. I have witnesses siezures before and even gave my parents a good scare 2 years ago, driving in the car down to Florida.
My situation may be different. Mine were caused by an allergic reaction to medication (simple meds like advil)..the only thing I can take the rest of my life is Tylenol. Nothing else.
I compleltley blacked out and was out for a good 2-3 minutes. I had a siezure where (my family says) my eyes rolled back, I was kind of gasping for air and was biting my tongue. My body did not shake. The scariest thing is, I don't remember any of it (only the EMTs on the scene).
For a kid to this is down right disgusting! What is the school doing about it? Not funny at all!

Re: This girl faked a seizure today in my class.....
I do see both sides here.
From the OP's perspective, it is completely scary for a child in her class to fake a seizure.
There is nothing funny about the child's motivation to fake a seizure. As others have said, it is a cry for attention or escape, and the child needs to find more appropriate means for getting his/her needs met.
However, I can understand what Jenn is saying. As someone who has the training and experience to know the difference between a real and feigned seizure, I could see it being somewhat amusing for Jenn to watch someone do a really bad job at faking a seizure - FULLY KNOWING that the person is faking and not at risk.
I think that it is a terrible behavior for the child to display, but that is symptomatic of underlying issues, which is what would really concern me.

I think that psychologists develop strange sense of humor b/c of everything we see...you just have to laugh at certain things. If I didn't, I would be crying all the time.
