A Stereotype
feel when you encounter people who have mental and/or physical disabilities? What is your reaction? Have you ever thought about what it might be like if you had a disability? Do you react the same way toward people wearing glasses as you do toward people with hearing aids or in wheelchairs?
Looking for ways to fight discrimination? Learn more about something you fear or don’t fully understand. It seems to me though, that if more parents tuned into their child’s wavelength or made an attempt to be there when they need them or have a question. Everyone knows life throws a lot of curve balls and questions at you. And these days when people have guns, sex can kill you, and when jobs are hard to find, where does a young person go for solid answers? It’s hard for a child to grow up these day’s when there are so many parents who don’t care and teachers that don’t have the time. When movies are extremely vulgar and music is really violent. Television glamorizes these sorts of things; making it appealing to children, and when they can’t find someone to go to for answers, whom can they go to?
