When children do it, its understandable, but not when the adults do it.

I will tell you a story about the neighbor's daughter who have some physical and mental handicaps, she is about 13-14 years old.

One day I was waiting for the bus and so was she. We were talking about this and that..

I asked her if she was looking forward to the summer holiday, she was of course. I asked her how things was going in school.

Then she told me that the other children at school, now and then mocked her, due to her disabilities.

I said she should forgive them thou they do not know-they are as you-just children.
Then she said something, Even the adult do it.
Do they mock you? I replied
No not exactly. then she said

Not so long ago I was visiting a friend and we were at the playground and playing with other children there-then some grown-up came and toke one of the children and said-Haven't I told you not to play with that weirdo.

it felt like a dagger struck my heart when I heard that. I also felt a huge furious inside me.

Markus, i really do like your attitude

I have experienced similar 'events', and it does not only imply disabled persons of any age, but also insults against people from abroad.

I have only recently learned to speak up immediately, but i admit i probably would not do this in a bus full of skinheads. Chicken-hearted, i know.
The thing is, if only one person speaks up, most others suddenly support, but it seems to need some .. seed chrystal.

Thank you. I just can't stand adults acting like they were imbecile and absolutely not when it's against children.

It's a sad thing that some adults are not deserving of the word, and some children are more mature than adults.

In my view nobody is really disabled as nobody is perfect in the first place, my mate has a son with down syndrome and is absolutely brilliant at computer games and is one of the nicest blokes i have ever met.

Never laughed at one, only laughed with them.
What I like about them is that they're the real deal, what you see is what you get and they do not hide behind something they aren't. In some cases they're even wiser and smarter then the rest of us.
