Did they really care?

Question

So there's this girl and some my friends make fun of her. They don't pick on her or bully her just whenever they see her, they just say "ugh, weirdo" or ignore her and give her looks I just ignore her (that is, let her do her thing). This girl is a midget... and a hunchback. She's also mentally challenged. So one day in gym class, she had a seizure (she has it randomly often) and they all start crying nonstop during class and they said it was just terrible, that I should have seen her faint then start shaking (I wasn't there) and the teacher was nice so instead of teaching we made get well cards but later when they saw her again they started making fun of her so I'm wondering If they just did it to seem caring and skip class

Answer 1

No, they did not really care, all they cared about was skipping class.  It may have been a shock to see the seizure and thats why they cried but if they made fun of her afterwards then it seems they have no real compassion.  How would they feel if it was done to them?  Its brave of this girl to come to school as she is so different, but despite her problems she is probably a nice person.  

Answer 2

They did it to not stand out. the are two face. They shouldnt make fun of the disable. Ditch them as friends, and find others. I dont think they care.

they prob did want to skip class tooo.

Example:a kid in my class was making fun of this girl, she is bony and skinny, a huge overbite, grungy long hair, and pimples. He said "you look like the hobo from grand theft auto" and these two grils started laughing really loud, and their face went red etc. then the girl started crying an d ran to the washroom. the two grils saw and ran after her. the didnt want to get in trouble. two face liarss

Answer 3

When it comes to the dog eat dog world of school  teenage girls are the most vicious predator you can come by. They can switch moods at the snap of a finger. While I think they like making a sport out of make fun of this girl I don't think they really care about the girl herself but witness someone going through a painful seizure like that,without being about to help them, was sure to  freak them out and make them emotional, as it would for anyone.  

And I think you were probally right they were just tagging along with the herd so they could get out of school work.

But honestly if the best thing your group of friends can do is make fun of someone in their condition, then you should find a some better friends.

For this handicapped girl, walking through those school doors is a struggle for her everyday, because of the taunting of others and struggling with her learning  disability, she had ample oppurtunity to hide away and take classes at home but she refused because she wanted a real school experience.

It seems like you were concerned enough to ask, and you may be brave enough to let your friends know who you feel about it. I hope you do.

Answer 4

These girls are very rude and terrible to make fun of someone like that.

Answer 5

that was rude of them to make fun of her. You might wanna find new friends. It might have been a shock to see that, but they could be faking. no way 2 tell

Answer 6

They probably did it just to seem caring in front of the teacher.  But you should show to others you care about people and start talking to her. Then people will notice this and maybe they won't call her weirdo. I know how that girl feels. Look it matters on the personality of a person and not how they look. I used to have a friend who had big ears and a punched in nose but who cares?! She is a nice person!  

Answer 7

seems like that really don't care... if that cared that couldn't keep making fun of her so much... and laughing at her... or maybe they are just not used to seeing hunchback or midgets.. i think they are being ignorant... or maybe that get nothing better to do than talk and laugh about this girl... has she ever done anything to them for them to do this to her???...

Answer 8

No, they didn't care. This girl has become the scapegoat of the class, and everyone has projected their dark side onto her. If she died in front of them, they would probably find it amusing. Unfortunately, this happens in adolescence before people's brains have fully developed.

Answer 9

Your friends are huge losers to make fun of a girl like that and should be ashamed of themselves.  Claim some decency and be nice to her. I would be ashamed of having friends like that not of the way the girl is. She can't help it and with you not doing anything about it you are just like them in making fun of her.  

Answer 10

Obviously they don't care.  If they did, they wouldn't make fun of her.

Answer 11

nope, doesn't seem at all like they cared. how terrible these girls sound. sorry but it's true.  

Answer 12

Kids are punks, people are different, some people can not help the way they look, let people be who they are they dont need snobs pointing out what they already know, and are trying to deal with - you tell them I said that, I disliked kids like that - let people be who they are, you would be surprised what you might find in a person if you get past the way they look -  

Answer 13

Of course they cared cuz if anybody had a seisure like that, then it;s pretty serious. =P
