Those with medical conditions know that school isn’t always the best place to have a medical emergency. When it comes to type 1 diabetes, over 2 million people in the U.S. have it, including around 314,000 children and adolescents. Still, many kids would probably attest that even grown-ups sometimes lack knowledge about it.

She was so entitled, in fact, that she confidently assumed his insulin pump tube was actually a headphone cord and had the gall to cut it during class. The repercussions, as expected, were chaos, a lot of yelling, and a lot of apologizing.
