Stating this right now: I don't mean to really offend anyone..just venting...
Alright everyone, I'm a senior in High School, and quite frankly, I think I've matured quite a bit over these past years, to the point that when the slow boy "Roger" stutters over simple words in the PIG book or the slow girl "Sally" fails to answer a question, I don't snigger or laugh at them.
Honestly, by your senior year you should be matured enough, hell, your about to graduate and move out into the world. I look at some of the kids, who will be having familys and jobs in the next few years, and wonder what is going to happen to our world when our generation takes over.
I don't think its funny, to watch people spit spitwads at the slow kids, I find it quite cruel, they didn't do anything to you! Its not their fault their brains were created different or that their DNA got messed. It also isn't their fault that their momma's did crack when they were in their womb. I don't think ANY of them asked to be slow. Got down on their hands and knees and begged "please make me slow so everyone can make fun of me!!" I dare say not.
In grade school, every kid finds it funny to taunt the slow child untill they break down and cry, or try to take a swing at you. But god, we are now adults, and its time to mature and leave them alone. They are part of society. And Im not asking you to be their best friend, but try to be nicer to them. Don't laugh, don't find happiness in their tears. Besides, you never know when one might bring a gun to school and pop a cap in everyone who ever made fun of them, but they'll let you live because you were their "friend"
Eh. whatever.. i feel a bit better..
