Stop hating people with disabilities such as mental retardation. My mother works with them and tells me stories about them and they so annoying and I can't stand them now. I don't want to hate them, I know it sounds so awful, but I just cannot help it. I know I could have a child like them someday and I would not want them made fun of. What can I do to stop hating them? Should I just tell my mom to stop telling me about them so I don't get annoyed?

I get annoyed easily, but I try to remember people are different, and I wouldn't want to feel how they are feeling. I'm religious and I also try to remember that God made them and wouldn't like how I feel about them.

Maybe you have such strong feelings against them because you're afraid you could end up like them. Sometimes fear can manifest itself as anger.

Hate is the opposite of love, try to forgive yourself for seeing them as such, think of every face you see as the face of Christ and ask to see them as such, while asking to forgive yourself.
There is a lesson there for you. peace to you.
I AM

See what its like to be one. i know thats kinda of hard since you wouldnt really wanna make your self mentally retarded on purpose... but maybe you could volunteer and help out with them at your school or something, or even help out with the special Olympics. It might help you see that theyre just like you and me... they just have special challenges that they have to accomplish in life.
If that doesnt work try talking to your mom about it. She works with them so maybe she can help you out.

Maybe you don't hate them. Maybe you just hate hearing about them because it depresses you.
