I Hate People Who Make Fun Of Disabled Kids And Adults

My Story

Written on January 23rd, 2013
I was born with slight Cebral Palsy so i walk with a limp.Growing up i was called many names crip manly and many others not so nice names.Once a man told me that "back in the olden times they often killed people like you"and after he said this just walked away.I am 54 now and still get stares from people who should know better.So when i see a child being made fun of are looked at horrible my heart goes out to them for they deserve to be loved not hurt by people who dont care to understand how they feel.So i say to you all "The next time you see someone like me give them a smile speak to them and say a kind word you will never know how much it will mean to them. For i myself have been there and a kind word and a heartfelt smile means the world when your a bit different.Thanks for reading my story...Deannie

    My gf I use to date worked with people with different type of disabilities. This one person she was working with was retarded. My gf was happy I treated him as a human being which he is anyways. Make me sick people that think those people are not human being. I guess one reason I didn't make fun of him is I grew up with a learning disability and had people make fun of me.

    I myself have a child that has a touch of cerebral palsy. He is thirty years old. He went through high school with a lot of abuse from other kids. He is confined to a wheelchair now, but when he could walk he had a rough time of it. I noticed everytime I was out with him that people stared..You can understand the kids staring....They don't know better, but the biggest part of them were grown people that do know better... I feel for anyone that has a handicap in any way...Bless your heart sweetie...God made you that way and people should love you for the person you really are and not from any limp you have....All my love to you!

    I know exactly what you mean but dont hate them people who react toward the disabled in a negative way, pity them after all its ignorance .I have a disabled son and we love him dearly and he is very loving in himself they are all special .We used to get angry before someone pointed out to us how ignorant people can be so now it no longer bothers us .as long as my son is happy is whats important .

    I have a son who is disabled and it really burns me up when people pick on him. It seems like the other kids are the worst. He never acts like it bothers him, but I know it does, and it breaks my heart. I'm sorry you had to go through such hatred. ~Be blessed!~
