Strangers make fun of my brother


Check these out, too...

  • Bullied by teacher? Yep, it totally happens--tell us your story
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Get those bullies out of your head: Tune out the torturers

I have a brother who isn’t exactly mentally retarded, but he’s a slow learner. He has great friends but, when we’re out, people make fun of him. Whenever he hears names being yelled at him, he is deeply hurt. What should I do?

 

Dear Distressed Sis,

You are a wonderful sister and good person. Next time people are mean, say to your brother, “What fools! Don’t pay attention to them,” or, “They don’t know that you’re worth 100 of them.” The support and love of a sister can outweigh the criticism and jibes of strangers. And I bet you have already educated more people than you realize.

Dont get to mean but go tell the strangers that that they need to watch their mouths and tell you bro that they are stupid and are just jelous of how awsome he is and give him a little sissy love or a playful nudge.

People today don't know how to act in public! Don't let them get them down it's NOT his fault. These other people are right they're just jealous that he's special. Don't let them get you or him down! Smile

Wow, I can't believe people would do that! You should say to them, "what if that was you? What if evryone picked on you just because you learn slow?? I'm serious!" I do that a lot when I'm about to be mean and it makes me not be mean Smile
