Question

im in special ed and the kids in 6th grade all ways made fun of me for going and im not a cazy just for reading,writing, spelling.and stuff like that. and now going in to junior high and i dont want to think of whats going to happen! :{

Answer 1

I too am in special education. I am a freshman in high school. Hun, don't make the same mistake I did in junior high. Talk to your teacher. Make your years there fun! If people ask u why u are in a special ed class, just say- "It isn't a 'special ed' class, it is for extra help in my studies." If they ask y it is a small class, say- "Some other of my friends need help too!" Special Education is not anything to be ashamed of. You are not stupid. I know sometimes they may make you feel dumb, but that is just because they are ignorant of how you feel. Remember that your IEP will stay with you all through school. If it gets really bad, go talk to your councilor, I am mildly dyslexic, and it is just enough I could say,"It is too hard!". It is actually an easier way out of your studies! But you still need to try hard. Note: The other kids have to do more, and harder work!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

just ignore them. just because youre in special ed does not mean youre any different then they are. just go up to someone and say hi. tell them what your interested in, and just invite them to your house, or to a movie or something.

Answer 3

I'm sorry you've had to go through that.  Of course you're not crazy!  Kids are so stupid.

Do you have an IEP?  Call your future junior high and ask to speak to the ESE counselor, or have your mom do it.  Ask to set up a meeting to review your progress in elementary school.  How did you do last year?  Are you still struggling quite a bit, or do you feel that you are doing well enough to go into regular classes full time?

If you know that you are still struggling and need extra help, but can't handle the "special" designation anymore, then you have a couple of choices.  You don't have to remain in the classes, if you can talk your parents out of it.  The trouble is, someone probably went to a lot of trouble to have you statemented, tested and placed, and they are not going to want you to quit.

Do you think you could handle regular classes, with the help of a tutor after school?   You'll have to study all the time, but if it's worth it to you to get out of the special ed classes, you might try that.

If you know that you just can't get by without the ESE classes, you could ask your mom to check out any charter schools in your area.  Some of them cater for kids in your position, and you will be with others who can't deal with the regular junior high experience, at the present time.

Talk to your junior high counselor first, and see what your options are.  I know this isn't much consolation, but the older you get, the easier it is.  By the time kids are 16, most of them are too mature to keep teasing others, and roll their eyes at the kids who do.  Junior high is another world from elementary.  It's much bigger, and you'll have a greater choice of friends.  Don't assume it is going to be a repeat of your elementary school experience.

Answer 4

awww... It's okay, sweetie. It doesn't matter who you are, there will always be mean kids that make fun over things that aren't funny. Just keep your chin up, things will only get better with time!

Answer 5

I'm sorry honey.  Kids are so mean even to kids who aren't in special ed.  I always worry about that with my son because he has autism.  I know it is hard not to let it get to you but I would just ignore those kids.  Just don't project something that hasn't happened yet.  If it becomes an issue I would complain to a teacher or guidance counselor because no one should be treated that way.  Junior  High is a great time in your life and you will make lots of friends so be positive.  It is going to be okay.

Answer 6

It's not something to be ashamed of. Your brain just works differently than your classmates. I just finished my junior year in college and last semester one of my classmates had to take his tests with a different teacher because he had a hard time concentrating and reading them. But he was still working hard at being in school, and doing everything he needed to in order to succeed. Just keep working hard and keep your grades up. Being able to talk about your different learning style in a way that sounds educated will help people leave you alone about it. Find out what your learning disability is, do some research on it, and be who you need to be:)

Answer 7

Write a letter to your teacher and the principal requesting that a Safety Plan be written into your IEP.  Show your parents the letter before you drop it off at the school.  Tell your parents that they may request the school put on a bullying assembly.  Schools are required to actively stop bullying and a lot of schools are having school-wide bully awareness programs.

In the end, it may be helpful to know that you are not alone.  There are mean people that you will encounter throughout your entire life.  Even bullies encounter people that are mean to them.  The important thing to know is that none of this is your fault and something can be done about it.  Check out www.bullying.org .  

Please tell your parents they may contact me directly if they would like.

Answer 8

Someone will always be there to hate you. Just hang around the people who like you and don't pay attention to the people who make fun of you. Be strong and just ignore them.

Answer 9

just ignore them!

find someone who likes you the way you are and have fun.   don;t pay attention to them (they'll just get tired and shut up)

Answer 10

just relax nothing is going to happen over there, half of the people over there don't even care, as long as you don't start trouble with anybody. special ed kid's never bothered me i was actually cool with a few of them, and most of the school was as well.
