Living with Turner Syndrome

This may not seem like a tragic situation but having this disease from the day you are born until the day you die has its difficulties. Girls living with Turner Syndrome make a lot more trips to doctors in order to get the treatment and medication they need. As far as her intelligence goes a girl living with this disease can be just as smart as any other girl her age. Although some Turner Syndrome girls struggle with math because of a learning disability that comes with the disease, at the same time she could also have a very advanced vocabulary. Just like any normal teenage girl she can still be in sports, clubs and make friends. If at first she feels a little left out parents should encourage her to make new friends. Even though girls with Turner Syndrome are not that different from any other girl, she might come across some self esteem issues. In this case parents and family should keep a positive attitude and support them every step of the way.
