Everyday life for hemophiliacs, expecially children, can be extremely difficult because they are unable to participate in all the activities they may want to. For example, it would be difficult for a hemophiliac to play hocky or be on the Wrestling team because the injuries they may obtain could become severe. Although there are some holdbacks associated with hemophilia, not everything is out of the question. Hemophiliacs can still be active. They can participate in such sports as swimming or Golf.
People should come to realize that hemophiliacs are living with a rare disease and they probably they already feel different, so why make them feel even more insecure by believing that they are inable to have "fun" and therefore reject their friendship?

Does a person with hemophilia bleed easily?
The answer to this question is not cut and dry. Literally speaking, a person with hemophilia does not bleed easier than any other person. Hemophilia slows the blood's ability to clot and thus a person with hemophilia will bleed longer than other people. The perception that people with hemophilia bleed easier comes from two situations. First, minor trauma such as bumping into something does the same damage to both individuals (those with and without hemophilia), however the individual without the bleeding disorder may plug damaged blood vessels with clots so fast that the injury leads to no noticeable damage. A person with hemophilia may develop bruising or swelling as a result since the damaged blood vessels leak for a longer period of time. Second, the damage done to joints and tissue from prolonged bleeding can make the area more susceptible to future trauma and more easily injured. In this instance, the individual may "bleed easier", however this is a secondary effect, caused by earlier bleeding, not hemophilia directly.
