I just hope my instructors handle my seizures better than they did last semester.... youd think that a college forensic science professor would know better what to do about a seizure but i guess not....im hoping that my new professors are more understanding this time around....the school has gone so far to tell me i need to drop out of college.

Only if they wont stop if. Or last 5 min. A 30 sec one is not neccessary unless you get injured

They say call paramedics if seizing longer then 5 minutes.

when i was young, the kids i grew up with knew when i am having a seizure and knew to tell the teacher and keep me steady. i got to the point where when i was having a grand mal, i didn't need a dr because they new what to do.

No not always, I tend to only go when I get really injured (not a small bump, bruise, scratch) or when I have one and am not "coming out of it" or go right back into another one.
