Gengar768 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 At my school theirs alllllot of bullying for people in the ASL (ASL means additional support for learning) and it hurts that people treat them like their freaks like im a freak.

Zarc Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 There is absolutely no shame to be in ASL , if people are in , it's because they need it in order to success , slowly but surely. Just ignore them , when you will have a job and you will success on your life , you will laugh aswell. I know many people who were monsters in class but are without a job today. It really mean nothing at all. There are people who have more facilities to learn than others in life , that's the way things are. But at the end , result is the same for everyone ( i hope and i wish you this ) : a job , a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abyssreaper99 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Does your school talk to everyone about ASL students? By this I mean challenging student's and staff's perceptions of ASL students by talking about the success of people who are considered ASL and how they're the same as everyone else but just need that extra support. When I was in primary school (Ages 6-10), many people would pick on anyone because of any differences and the school did nothing. Even some of the teachers were ill-equipped to deal with ASL students and ended up accidentally making things worse. When I was at secondary school (11-14), hardly anyone bullied someone for any Neurodivergency (things like autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, dyslexia, etc) / physical conditions. My secondary school sought to educate people on Neurodivergent people to a basic level and as understanding increased, the bullying reduced. As Zarc said, not being ashamed of being in the ASL will help remove any feelings of feeling like a freak. This will be a good start for others to normalise the view that some people need to be in ASL and that's ok. Ignore those who bully you or anyone else and you will do great. As Zarc said, many of them who do the bullying end up not really getting anywhere in life. Many people who bully are those trying to escape from their own insecurities by targeting other people for their own. Hope stuff improves for you soon Gengar, it becomes less frequent as you get older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnicornJesus Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 You can always catch them one by one and beat them up: bullies are weak individually. As a group they are strong, one by one they are weak and coward. Wait, did I just read right? Bullies pick up on kids who are handicap and things like that there???

UnicornJesus Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 My god, that's worse than I thought. Where I live nobody does that, and the ones who do, someone eventually takes care of the business on whatever way to make him understand he can't do that. I would recommend you to pretty much ignore them; you're no freak, and don't think for a second that you are one. They are just stupid kids, they don't deserve anyones attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arys Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 That's extremely unfortunate to know about these thing still happening. I'll be honest, I don't think I can relate myself with your case since I was never in that situation so I can't give you my empathy. But I really wish that you won't give up on yourself nor to those bullies and keep remind yourself, only animals who still physically fight for dominance over other. I'm afraid those kind of people can't be saved from your position. If you always felt like you're different, don't think it in a bad way. Everybody is different. Everybody has different past, different problem, and different goal. Everyone is always lack of something, and striving for different goal. Most of the time, we clash with each other, but that's normal. If you had to go to ASL because of your condition, it's fine. It's part of you that makes you different from people, but don't let your disabilities defined the whole of you. I can't make a great speech, but I do think that you are more than a student in ASL. You can achieved a lot more things than you think and I believe in you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you can find your light in your way. Your way is where you are facing and you only find your own shadow if you keep looking down. I hope you and everyone here have a good day.

Wolfox Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 1: Considering they need to make others feel bad, you can already know you're above them in that regard. 2: Ignore them. it's easy to say and hard to do, but when it works it works. 3: Talk to your parents and teachers about it. Even if a Movie with a script doesn't work (tbh, unscripted would probably be better for this situation because then the stories would be real instead of, well, scripted) you can get the snowball rolling this way. Even if it won't work tomorrow, it will most likely help in the long run. Extra Addition: Don't you just love it when you press Enter and 50% of your post just Disappears out of nowhere and into nothing>? IDK if this is fixable, but if so I would say it's a high priority fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
