You need to get new friends. I just can't stand it when people are mean about that stuff. Maybe you could have a serious talk with them and tell them it really bothers you. If they don't straighten their act - you gotta find new friends. <3 Steph

If they upset you like that, and the don't seem to notice that you hate when they talk like that tell them for once and for all if you hear them talk about people like that it's going to make you nuts. If they keep on it, ditch them. I mean, its a pretty loosy reason to get rid of your friends, but maybe there not really your type of people anyway.

DEF. look for new friendz. If they can't understand how much they're hurting yew , den forget about dem. yew dun need friendz like dat in yer life..no1 doez.Hope i helped :) rate me if ya can

Just tell them that its nothing to make fun of and that what they are saying about it makes you hurt inside. tell them that if they make fun of people who have it one more time, that you wont want to be their friends anymore. i think that you should find more friends that accept the fact that your cousin had down syndrome. but try to keep the old ones and sit down with them and try to get them to understand that u actually are getting hurt by the things they say. hope i helped! -PA

well i have a cuzin tht has down syndrome n so i kno how it feels n how to work with it so what u really need to do is talk to ur friends tell them that they can do all the same stuff as we can some jus have different disbilities like my cuz she is only behind 1 grade which is pretty good but her only problem isher speakin skills which are improvin lil by lil but u really need to talk to them
]
Well just tell them you are really getting hurt from this and you dont like that-trix

hmmm... what i would do is pick on them about sumthing that u know they are sensitive about... and then when they ask why... be like "it doesnt feel good when it happenz to you rite" sumtimes people truly dont understand how it feels untill it happenz to them... if they continue to act this way try makin new friends

People tend to make fun of things they don't understand. This sad fact is a product of their being afraid of the unknown; when it doubt, laugh about it. They will always be afraid of people who have different functional processes than their own, unless of course they become familiar with said people. I'm not sure what the best solution in this case would be, other than to simply accept their ignorance and fear as a part of their human nature. Even if it hurts, it is honestly no different than eating food when hungry; such reactions to fear are completely normal. Try to be accepting of them, and realize that they just don't understand. This is one of those things you may have to let slide, even the greatest people fall victum to nature.

Well it seems that the friends u have may not care about what ur trying to tell them so if u really have to then u should find new friends but give it time and maybe they will see how much it hurts u

hey.. .well you're not going to like what i have to say but, there's not much that i can say. i mean, i've gone through the same kind of situation. like, i am REALLY close to this guy that is gay, and we're REALLY REALLY close, and all of my friends always make fun of gay ppl calling them fags and everything... and EVERYTIME that they same someone, i always defend the gay ppl, but it nevers stops them from saying it again. it's annoying as HELL yes, but there's not much that we can do. all we can do is talk to them. but hey, stay friends with these ppl for sure and just continue to screw it into their heads that it bothers you, but look around for new friends as well! im NOT saying ditch your old friends, but hey it's always fun meeting new ppl! i hope i helped!:D good luck

the others first. so good luck and i wish you and
your cousin the best. *~~~shana~~~*
