I have something serious 2 share with everyone here.
Whoever who reads it,be it friend or foe, please tink it thru...
I want to get this straight now, once and for all.
The one problem that i experienced and saw throughout my sch life(sec sch to now poly)is also the same problem, the same niggling question..
Why is the disabled always not accepted by classmates???
I know of many of my disabled friends who i am close to, who also face the same problem everytime
In this respect, there is a realisation that we are not alone and we all as disabled de face the
same problem, as asked above.
Let me ask you a simple question
Does being disabled make them different from normal people in any ways??
My answer is "No, definitely not"
The only diifference I can say is that perhaps disabled people cannot walk as well as nomal people do only wad..no big deal.. but does tt affect the way humans interact with each other??No
I bet alot of my disabled friends will agree with me in this respect.
Then coming back to the main point of thiis entry
Then why is it tt we r not accepted by friends and classmates??
Let me tell you straight now...even though u tink tt we are "weak" from the outside, lot of my friends are stronger than u tink.
I see alot of my disabled friends, who like me in sec sch, is always getting taunted at and bullied, and i dont noe the reason why too.
Let me see, as far as i noe, many and many of my disabled friends are always alone and friendless in school, and i mean it..having got t experience myself in sec sch.
What I normally realise is that as a disabled students comes into a new school and thus a new environment with new friends, the friends would always be willing to allow him/her to join them.
But as time goes by, they will eventually slowly distance themselves away and thus the disabled person becomes alone and friendless, such tt it is like a pattern.
Let me give u an example
i got this disabled friend of mine, who is wheelchair bound and she is always friendless and lonely while in school.
Please think la...being disabled is not wat she wanted, never mind having to sit on a wheelchair lor
juz bcos she is disabled, her friends dont even tok 2 her lor, never mind helping her.
Wat logic is this la??she is a good and polite person and a nice person to meet, and yet ppl dont tok and dont care her juz bcos she is disabled. simply outrageous la. No logic.
Imagine tt a disabled person toks to another person, and tt person dont reply, wat would be the feeling of the disabled person...whoever who doesnt have the heart 2 feel, i tell u tt the feeling of being ignored really hurts ok
Does being disabled stop them making friends with people in sch??No, bcos they are also human and human definitely got the right to interact with each other.
Even a small help to those disabled is certainly a very good deed, and they will be grateful for it. Even with classmates juz wait for them bcos they may be slow, is also a good thing to do. alot of my friends who have the problem always feeling neglected and ignored by their classmates.
Do not see a disbled person and not be friends with them, juz bcos they r disabled, bcos
its unfair to them.
Then again, I always know tt when we disabled people meet together or wadever, they juz seem to click at a fast pace, and interact with them well. we are able to make new friends faster than u tink twice of approaching them if u see one. The reason for this, is bcos we understand the feelings of each other, and thus is easier for them to make friends.
Perhaps the only reason I can tink of to this poblem is perhaps they dont understand the feelings of the disabled people. and also perhaps disabled ppl de are juz meant to be left out, maybe bah..
But personally after being with my poly mates and learning more, I juz feel that the problem definitely has a solution. My classmates have been accepting me so far and also helping me alot, such that i need 2 thank them many times each day hahaha.
So in the end, i tink there is always a solution to this problem....

Semester 2: A new Beginning
(May have some ramdom things in this lastest post)
Semester 2 starting tommorrow le..13 October 2008
Semester 2 is a new beginning, a ffrsh start for me
Semester 1 is over, comes Sem 2
New modules to tackle..new spark of determination to do much better than Sem 1
Sem 2 got no Maths Module haiz...
Sem 1 GPA 3.2 only, Muz improve come Semester 2.
The 6-Week Holiday has been indeed long...
Now School is reopening again...
During the long holidays, went back 2 my former primary school to volunteer for 2 weeks...tts all
During the course of the holidays..
well..some thoughts are in my head, mind racing...
in terms of my relationship with my class...well, i feel very comforted that life had gone well for me.
Being this, I think it brings about some worries..or should I say..fears, going into a new Semester 2.
Now that is Sem 2..well, i guess that people will know me better...
Will I be accepted into the mix??
Will I go into breaks alone on my own or with a group of classmates and friends?
I am really very fearful that it may turn out the way i dont want it to be
fearful that Sem 2 some of those that i am quite together with them will slowly drift away from me.
After asking some of my disabled friends abt their own life in sch ..well, i got to admit that i am more fearful.
As the fear intensifies, I am indeed getting scared now.
Afraid that nobody would want me to join them and have to be alone as such
the feeling of being rejected by my friends is indeed very painful, having experienced that before..it is so bad such that i would not ask to have that experience played all over again.
Sem 1 i took some time to adapt to a new life, where I will always be with a group, and not alone. Naturally, I was not used to it and needed much time to adjust to the better life tt i enjoyed in Sem 1. Now I am more or less used to it liao
I want the upcoming Sem 2 to be like Sem 1.
fearing the dreaded.
Just have to hope that the dreaded dont come at me
The fear is indeed there....
