ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Strangers make fun of my brother

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.

ithink you are great you should just tell them to mind their own bussiness and if they do not get it just tell them they are not 100% perfect so they should back off and concentrate on things that are better then wasting their time on nothing that will benefit them in their future.

Same thing happens to my brother. I'm in 6th grade.He's in 4th grade.When he sometimes comes home really sad, and he tells me why,i just wanna go to his school and confront those people.So it's like,he has good friends,and a really nice girl,named Gabby,who is my bff's little sister,but all of the others just tease him.

When ever someone says something mean to your brother, you should totally go up to them and say something like "you know what, I think you are the slowest person in the room if you think making fun of MY brother is a good idea. So go apologize to him RIGHT NOW or you are no better or nicer than a piece of poop." By the way, I hate it when people make fun of other people. I always stand up for someone who is getting picked on, even if they are not that nice of a person to me. But, that just makes me mad that people are saying that to your brother!! Give him a hug from me! Let him know that "people that mind don't matter and people that matter don't mind." Smile I hope he gets treated better!

MOD!!!!!!
Ok so my sis is in 3rd grade and at recess she is forced 2 play with these 2 kids that are very mean and annoying 2 her. She goes 2 lunch group with the school counseler and even SHE says that my sis has 2 play with them. My sis literally cries herself 2 sleep and never gets up in the morning because all the adults and kids are forcing her 2 do things. Even my mom says she has 2 play with them! I a the only person she can turn 2 and it's a ton of trouble. I need a lot of help NOW! I feel sooooo bad 4 her and she has 2 survive each day with bullying. Whe I wuz in 5th grade I wuz a "peer leader" and I helped kids with probs. I really don't no wat 2 do.

 

Hey Girl,

I'm so sorry to hear that your sis has to go through this. Just be there for her, you're a great big sister! Give it another try and talk to your parents; explain to them how unhappy your sis is and that she's being bullied! Maybe they'll change their minds! Good luck!
