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.

I have a cousin who is mentally retarded and I always get funny looks when I'm around her I just tell myself they don't know how awesome a person she is. You should tell your bro that you are worried bout him. And tell him how much you love him!

I want to be in the next hunger games movie because i love the series and would love to see it come to life. Unfortunately, i have no acting experience but i'm a historical interpreter who gives tours in front of large crowds at a museum. Also i'm a writer and i'm 15. Any advice on how to get into the movie or even auditions because my mom keeps shutting me down. HELP!

I'm trying to create a business by making bags, but I have no idea how to advertise my bags to sell them? I'm planning to donate some of the money to charity

Hey girl,

Talk to your parents about how you can advertise locally -- maybe you can pass out fliers in your neighborhood or put something on a local bulletin board.

MOD MOD MOD!!!! My parents won't let me get a facebook account. All my friends have one and I feel left out. i think my mom's paranoid because my cousin (her nephew) got in big trouble on facebook. How do I convince her I am responsible enough to have one and now get into trouble?

 

Hey soccergirlok, get her to help you create it. It may also be helpful if you give her your password and email so she can check up on you. I know you don't want her looking through your profile, but the fact that you are willing to share that info with her will show her you don't have anything to hide and you'll look very mature. To be on the safe sie, make your profile private so only your friends and other people you approve can access your info. That might also get rid of any worries your mom has. Hope this helps!! Xoxo
