we don't have any at our school, but i think that we should treat them like normal people. they are humans after all.

I volunteered to help with the Special Olympics for a couple of weeks after school last year. It was a good experience and all, but it's really hard to tell them to do something because they don't like understand you.

it makes me glad to hear/see/read these kind of stuff...people helping out these kids. i have a MDK couple in my school...the only one i've ever seen in school...it was so cute...

well, there are different forms of mental disability, maybe they have pergersyndrome? there are cases where they are intelligent IQ wise, but are enept in social skills.

Well, the mentally disabled kids aren't stupid. They are just the ones who are a bit slower in mild cases. But I have worked with one of those people before, and I found out that they really aren't that hard to communicate but sometimes that person would slow me down or interrupt me. Also, I am impatient too but their actions would only be intolerable in rare cases.

I'm sure many people would be freak out when they see something unusual at school. I'm hard of hearing. Of course, people stare at me because I have "hearing aids" electronic sound device. I think it would share the same experience with mdk.


I wouldn’t look down at mentally disabled person. They're still people but most people aren’t use to socialize with them. Maybe that’s why people feel uncomfortable about them.

Some people are just disgusted of them because they sometimes walk weird and they have weird faces.

I used to be scared of them... I don't know. I think I still am. I know I shouldn't be, I mean they are humans just like us. They just born in a wrong way. I feel bad for them. I'm glad I didn't born like that. I mean if I was them, I would be sad in my whole life. I would not like it of course. I mean they wanted to have a great face, great body...but they end up with a mentally disabled body. I guess I think I know how they feel. Well there is this one american/african mentally disabled dude...and he's really scary. My friends think he should be a track team. Everyone calls him gorilla because..... he runs like crazy to people and make gorilla noises -_-;; I feel bad for him. But I wish he really stops what he is doing. Chasing people and scaring people.

Hm... and yeah I'm proud of them too sometimes. When they do a creative, wonderful speech. It's great to see how skillful they are tries their best to be what they wanted to be.

They are certain mentally disabled people I dislike..... the american/african dude... and... this other guy. He follows you wherever you go. Like if you don't answer his question..he just follows you. I mean I didn't know what he was talking about and I told him "I'm sorry, I can't help you" and he kept on following me... T_T;;; And not to be rude, but he has scary eyes too -_-;;; I'm not the only one who thinks that way, half of the people in my school thinks that way. He has a scary face. and he'll just follow you and follow you and just stares at you deeply.... and he walks like a zombie too T_T;;

It's just some mentally disable I don't want to be near. I DO feel bad for them.... but I just can't help their behavior out.

health class fun stuff

nuttin wrong w/ mdk's

[emazing]

No, I don't look down on the mentally disabled.
Everyone, including them, have talents and abilities of their own, but we just assume that they don't, and that they're different. They're not.

I would never look down on a MDK.
Sometime last year during PE class, the MDK's would come out to run on the track for a little bit. One of the MDK's was able to talk, though not very well. However, we were able to comprehend him when he made conversation with our teacher. He started to do these karate kicks all of a sudden. Our class stared on, but no one laughed. In fact, most of the guys started to cheer him on, and everyone clapped for him at the end. Heh

Why look down on them? Why make fun of them? My brother had a very good friend who was down syndrome. Actually - she was one of his friends sister. He enjoyed her and loved her so much. They had a great time watching wrestiling together. By many peoples standards, she may not have been all there, but to my brother she was a great friend. He would bring her a b-day present, x-mas gift every year. He never left valentines day out either. They were not a romantic couple, just friends. He loved her dearly. She has since passed away, which was a very sad time for many people who knew her.
