Its so sad to me when people do things that they know is wrong, and that they know will hurt people, just to get a laugh out. To me, making fun of somone isnt funny. Its the complete opposite. Its terrible, and hurtful, and just plain wrong. Its something that kindergardners do, and after kindergarden everyone should know that its not right to do. The thing i hate the most is when people make fun of someone, or pick on them for something they cant help.
In English class, i watched a video on a boy who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, its a really rare syndrome, that happens because half of your 15th chromosone is missing. What happens when you have this, is that you have an inquashable hunger, for food. The only thing you think about is food. You want to eat, and eat, and eat. And about five minutes after you eat, your starving, hunger pains and all, and want to eat agian. Its really a sad disorder, and i feel so bad for anyone who has this. Its just not right that people have to deal with things like this, and it really dosnt help when you have cruel people in the world who like to make fun of things like that.
Id really like to be able to explain to everyone that, if they were in Max's position (the boy who has PDW from the video i watched) they wouldnt need the extra stress of people making fun of them. Words hurt, just as much as actions. And when negative words and actions are being thrown at you, wether your normal or have something rare like Max, it hurts. And it hurts bad. People dont realize that, they think its all fun and games. Its not though. And i cant stand it.
This brings up a very important question , that will always remain unanswerd:
How can people be so cruel ?
I wish i knew the answer to this question, and i wish i could do something about it. Even if i could, i couldnt go around the whole world, changing everyone into a good person, who dosnt do such hateful mean things. I can though, try my best to be that person who sticks up for someone like Max. And just by doing that, Im making myself happier and someone else. And maybe my actions will influence someone else to start sticking up for people, instead of joining in on making fun of them.
I hope, i really really hope, that people start to realize how incredibly cruel and just NOT funny it is to do things like that, ecspecially to people who cant help what they are making fun of, and who cant defend themselves. I know that im never going to do anything like that, and im going to try to persued people not to do it either. Its not right, and i will not stand for it. Neither should you.
