Dear Teacher,
1) I’m no exception, too.
- Why don’t we use “ not “ instead of using “ no “ ?
2) Don’t get me wrong .
- Please let me know the meaning of this sentence.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

1) I’m no exception, too. [I'd suggest "either" instead of "too" with a negative sentence.]
- Why don’t we use “ not “ instead of using “ no “ ?
-- You could use either. With "not" you would say,
- I'm not an exception, either.
-- In your original sentence, "no" is an adjective that modifies the noun "exception". That is one way to make a negative statement. In the second form, "not" is an adverb, negating the meaning of the verb "am". That is a second way to make a negative statement.
2) Don’t get me wrong.
- Please let me know the meaning of this sentence.
-- This is an idiom that means, "Don't misunderstand me."
