My cousin has severe cerabl pausey. She can't walk, talk, or anything. Part of her brain is just plain dead, but to tell you the truth, I love my cousin. She is 19 years old, and the doctors said she would only live to be 4. My mom says that God sent her down here to inspire people to do the impossible, and she has. She has inspired me. A lot of kids sit there and tease people with disabilities, and let me tell you I am willing to just kill those kinds of kids. I hate them! They don't understand it at all. God sent people with disabilities down here for a reason. I don't know how people can sit there and hate people for their disabilities. I can't see that connection at all.

most teens are understanding and nice but there is a few in every crowd that show their ignorance. i have a special needs teen and she has some good friends and she has some days when someone just wants to be mean you just have to take it a day at a time and always let them know they are loved and the mean kids have more of a problem then he/she has because their disability is a cold heart and theres not a medication for that

It all depends on the personality of the teen. We have a girl in my class that does not speak spanish so we go on the assumption that she wants to be treated normally. If the disability teenager wants to be treated normally then they will go about normally a regular teen will just give them extra thought in certain activities. If the disability teenager does not want to be treated normally then he or she will probabley make it noticable and the majority will be that they will give them the attention that THEY see is appropiete if you ask me it's how you raise the child

this is a very good question. probably best one so far.
I think that for teenagers dont pay attention to that. they just look at what they "need"! yesterday i went to a air show of the army, and saw the blue angels perform. ( by the way if you ever have time GO SEE THEM! THERE GREAT! :D ). anyway i wanted to get an autogragh of one of them. i was really mad. i didnt get it. and i saw a little girl on the bus with the diseases syndrome down. she was in a wheek chair and something was wrong with her legs. she was so happy! and i thought. here iam mad for not getting a stupid autograph, and she is so happy!
the things we take for granted like brushing our hair, walking or being able to sit on the cement and getting up a lot kids might want to do. it would be an adventurrer for them!!
my niece is deft. stone deft. she had an apporeation to fix her hearing. but she has no cure. everybody treated her "special". yeah she cant hear. but it doesnt mean she is not like the others. shes not dumb. she is very clever!
most kids and i include myself, and im not proud of it, have ignore it. i see them... but dont pay attention. and im wrong. i should talk to them despise the inabilitys.
teenagers really focused on " what others might say". they might make fun of them. i never have. its not right.
a second makes a diference. we coould bring a smile to there faces just by saying hi and stop caring about what others say!! :D

It varies from teen to teen and to how disabled the person is. I know the students at my school are very accepting of the others with disablilities at our school. My sister has Cerebral Palsy and has many friends that don't have disabilities that she an hang out eith if she wants and loves it. She also has friends that do have disabilities but, they are different from hers so, ther is still diversity within their group.

It is different for each teen
My children love children no matter what
I have a friend that have a disable child
my children who are 18, 14, & 9 walk to her house all the time to spent time with the boy
my 18 year old told me that it just enought to see him smile & laught when they play with him

i guess that depends on how the teen was raised. If I treated a kid with disabilities with the slightest bit of unkindness my mother would have knocked me into next week.
I went to school with a kid with Cerabal palsy on the jerks treated him unkindly the rest of us treated him like we expected to be treated. not differently.

Well, I am a teenager, and trust me, people don't treat special ed kids well. Some friends of mine make fun of this one kid in my class which is kind of sad, but what really makes it worse, is that everyone is nice to them to their face, and just makes fun of them behind their backs.

gosh,,, thank gosh you asked this because everybody at my school is sooooo mean,,,, my brother even says its nice to make fun of retarted kids because we make fun of normal kids so it makes them fit in?!!?!?!? no. i was going to do a report on hellen keller but everybody made fun of me and acted like i was retarded or something (she was amazing)~. i think its sooo mean and i cant wait until the person that makes fun of kids that are def or blind or mentalally challanged has a kid and it turns out to be disabled (i wish that would happen to everybody that makes fun of them) because i dont think you could make fun of your own child
--wish our society would change--
