Talk to the teacher. Have some kind of meeting with her. Have Cody leave the room. Talk to the classroom tell them Cody did'nt choose to be born like this. And someday some of us will have children and what if one of our children came out disable. Ask the class that.Some will say I'll leave it at the hospital or give it away. Then you or the teacher tell them know one left you. They might say well nothing wrong with me. Then say if theres not then why would you make in front of a person who has no control of the way he was born.You had know control the color of your eyes your hair short tell or color of your skin Ask well you pick on a 2 or3 or4 or5 or6 year old child. Because thats what Cody like. If your teacher don't do nothing about this go to the princple do something. And who cares what these bullys are saying about you like him.

Well first of all, it's good that you are not making fun of him, because it's not his fault. Second of all, this is a good learning tool for you. Just because you are doing the right thing, does not mean that everyone will follow you. Do NOT give in to your morals.
Who cares if people think you like-like him, as you put it. Right now, it may seem important to you, but you will be able to sleep at night because you were nice to the kid.
I respect you for wanting to change their perspectives, that is very mature of you. Only you know how to do that, cause you know the kids that are doing it.
Good luck!

There is a quote I can't help thinking of: "All that evil needs to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Youu say that you're the only one who doesn't make fun of Cody; I hope that in some way, you're taking up for him. If you like him as a friend, tell the others that you do, and that you don't like people making fun of your friends. Sure, they may make too much out of that, but stand your ground.

There's not much you can do to change people. Those kids are just mean because they haven't been taught any better than that at home. Or either they have been taught better and are just following the crowd trying to be funny & accepted. The teacher needs to get with the parents of those kids & explain the situation to them. She needs to discipline those kids for being mean to him and let the parents know why they are being punished. If the teacher continues to allow this to happen then she is as much to blame as the kids who are being mean.
You are doing the right thing. Just keep doing what you're doing & do not worry about what other people think. Them saying you like him is just another mean thing they are doing. Try to ignore them, and if there's any way possible please try to explain to this boy that those kids are just mean and he is NOT any of things they say he is.

You usually can't change someones perspective however you can stay true to yours. Believe me I know I was one of those kids and one of the worst. You can't make everyone happy no matter how hard you try but if being nice to Cody makes him happy and you feel better, than don't worry about the other kids. They are just A**holes and they'll realize that one day.

You can't change their behaviour... They are all insecure within themselves and would fall apart if they were being ridiculed.. Keep being nice and don't change... no matter what is said. Be the leader as you are and ignore their immature behaviour.
Do not back down, sooner or later they will lay off and if they cause trouble you can sit back and watch them get in trouble.. You are not being a goodie two shoes you are being caring and compassionate and obviously your parents did a great job raising you.

You can't change them. Kids are mean. Mostly because they are unhappy themselves. Kids feel that if they feel bad, tearing someone else down will make them feel better.
It's horrible but true.
It's ok to stick by Cody. Don't worry about what others say.

youre doing the right thing. dont worry so much as to how its affecting the other kids. think about what its doing for Cody. you are probably one of the few who brighten his day. he looks forward to seeing people like you. the others will realize one day. just do what you know is right.

Out of this group you are the strong one. You may try explaining to them that you're problem (LOL) is that you happen to like all people and that you don't like the way it feels when you attack another person on any level. Sadly though, many people are brain dead and they wont understand.

unfortunately its not easy to do, however i admire you for being one of the few that do not pick on kids with a disability. I know it is not easy but being a friend to this kid may mean a lot to him and may even help with his behavior. as for the other kids hopefully they will come around, if not just be his friend and he may end up being a friend for life.
