Sooo..I was 6 years old and sitting impatiently in the delivery waiting room I always wanted a sibling, and finally I'd be getting a little brother. But a few weeks later I found myself sitting in a different waiting room..the one closest to the ER. My brother had been born successfully, but apparently there was something with him. I remember that I kept asking if he was going to die, and my parents kept saying no. I was just thankful that he was alive..but now, according to him, he wish he had never been born in the first place. He's 10 years old, and he's legally blind. Which means he can see, but not well, and he needs glasses. He's not albino, but there was some birth defect that made him close to being one. The only difference is that he has blue eyes, which is the only amount of pigmentation in his body. His hair is white, and his skin is also extremely pale. He'll never tan, it's impossible to dye his hair [ or eyebrows ] and contacts would never work for him. Since people can't usually tell that he's slightly handicapped, they always make fun of him. And they stare..for goodness sake's he's only ten years old and he cries almost every night...he won't speak to us about it either. What do i do? It's gunna change who he really is inside..

  1. tell him to take up for himself be mean about it tell him to get angry and hit someone dont help him urself, and if he gets his *** beat he will be better for it, dont let ur lil bro be a ****** cus biatchassness will lead to no girls no friends annd depression, do ur brother a big favor and tell him to be bad and up.


  2. I just find this too upsetting  to read all the answers, people are just bloody cruel, next time the look at him ask them what there problem is they make my blood boil they ignorant f...ckers....

  3. Personally i have found that ignoring them and standing up to them, is the only answer to stop bullies, i was fat in primary school and i had about one friend right up until i realised that in reality they are just b******s with self esteem issues. Knowing that helped me a lot, and gave me the courage to stand up to them, after that they didn't bother me at all.

    I'm not suggesting your brother starts hitting people, just make sure he knows that as long as he perseveress all the bullies will eventually be drop outs living off benefits and money picked up out of drains, anhe'll'l do well in life. Although i have it on good authority that a good smack in the nose very now and again sets em straight ^^

  4. Beat  the c**p out of the people who DARE make fun of him

    Sorry,cant do that.Try talking to brother,if you cant get throuhg get him to a councelor.He needs to feel better about himself and learn the people who make fun are the REAL idiots,E

  5. first of all ,i m happy to see a great sister like you i wish you were my sister

    second

    be his friend ,hug him when he is happy and alright be his companion tell him i want to go everywhere with you ,you are my brother ,every sister needs one

    give him shots of self confidence and tell him that you are proud of him

    wipe his tears ,and try to find what does he like to do so you can do with him

    let him dye his hair and eyebrows tell your parents to do ,its awful that other people are mean to him ,let him learn self defence*but be careful from turning violent and that's what i m afraid of ,too much violence make us cruel

    please support him ,you started it and you have a long path to walk

    tell him that people like to make fun because they are stupid ,tell him they are jealous of him having good heart and good family ,

    most male wont appreciate talking about that stuff with women but if you gained his trust ,i assure you .. you will be so happy later there is nothing more then a good brother and your brother is a good one ,i m sure of that because bullies usually like to hurt the tender hearts~

  7. Oh my, that's terrible.

    Well, just let him know that you're there for him.  I remember that when I was being bullied (and still am, but not for nearly the same reason) there are a few people in my life who show they care.  And I'm thankful for that.  These few people keep me from dying pretty much.  And it's sad that I even think about dying every once in a while.

    But I'm sure that despite that he's different and really sad, he's a great boy.  He just needs people to support him.  Sometimes, like him, I don't like talking about what's bothering me.  And my family and friends just let me be at those times, but still show they care.

    If I knew him, I'd be his friend.  I mean, I know he's 10 and I'm 13 but age shouldn't matter. :)

    Well, just let him know that he's cared for.  (And make sure that he isn't developing suicidal tendencies.  I know how that feels and it's terrible)

    P.S.  I wear glasses too!!!!!!! =D

  8. theres no answer for this one honey!

    kids can be so un kind! they dont really realise what they are doing!

    they think its fun after all! we are born with it in us to survive! since evolving we no longer need to kill pray but to feed better then another person we make them feel worse no matter if we 6, 7 10, or 35! its human nature!

    id suggest you dont talk about it! but you are there! and try and watch from a close distance that he does not shut him self off!

    maybe you and your parents should look at some after school clubs some where around the city you live in where he can meet kids from other schools that wont judge him based on his reputation at school!

    as kids at school aren't just basing there slagging on his illness they are also basing it on his reputation!

    just be there ! when he is onlder he will meet friends! just help him have friends now!
