What should I tell the cheerleaders that are bein mean to a special ed guy?

Question

this special ed guy is the SWEETESt guy I have ever met! he's really into sports, and since he can't really be on any of the school teams, he manages them, and practices w/ them etc.

but the cheerleaders are bein such b*****s to him!!! they ignore him, act like he isn't there, makes me REALLY MAD

Answer 1

Just tell them to GROW UP.

Answer 2

Bring their behavior to their attention and tell them he's a person with feelings too, and how would they like it if he was their brother and someone treated him that way?  If they are actually doing mean stuff to him and not just ignoring him, tell the special ed teacher.  She'll kick their butts.  I always got really mad and protective if anyone picked on one of my students.

Answer 3

Truthfully, there isn't much one can do about an "ignore" thing or even a "snub" --- and with these folks, any pointing out their behavior will be met with a "we don't have a clue what you're talking about" response !!   BUT, if this behavior turns into verbal harshness or acts of a demeaning nature there are any number of courses available to correct it !!

Actions such as the last mentioned here can be brought to the attention of the cheerleading sponsor --- every team has one -- This person is ultimately responsible for the team and their conduct !!

One should point out to you, though ---- this behavior is something that this young fella that you're speaking of is going to have to become acquainted with in life --- because, as difficult as it is for you and I to believe (that there are those among us who do not understand the nature of things as it stands with those who are challenged in life on this level OR even CARE about them and their circumstances) ---- THEY DO EXIST -- and, in far greater numbers than any of us would care to admit !!  And, for those people who ARE challenged in this manner -- it is a simple FACT of life --- and they will at some point in life be FORCED to cope with it !!   And, they, like any of the rest of us that have to deal with unreasonable people --- will make it through by way --- mainly -- of those around them that ARE their friends and the ones that make up the difference for them --- such as yourself !!!

These people doing this stuff will be faced with the KARMA created BY them in all of this --- and, when it comes full circle -- karma can be a VERY harsh teacher !!

Answer 4

tell them that one day while doing their cheering, they will fall down n broke their leg in such a way that they will never be able to walk, or one day they'll be deaf, or blind.. or they will be in such a situation that they also have to take special ed.. n then.. everyone will be mean to them... bad karma..

Answer 5

I think that it depends on your relationship with the cheerleaders. If they are not you friends or anything then you can say something but it might not help. It is worth the shot. If they are your friends, which I doubt they are, then they should be courteous of your view and should leave him alone. I say that you should say something because no one probably will.

Answer 6

Tell them the only reason they aren't considered retarded is because the state can't find a logical excuse for their stupidity.

Answer 7

Report the "*****" cheerleaders to the principal.  What these idiots are doing is bullying the special ed. kid.  Who do they think they are?  They need to be taken down a peg or two.

Suggest to the principal, because of there obnoxious behavior they shouldn't be cheerleaders at all.  These so called cheerleaders sure aren't living up to the meaning of the word "CHEERLEADERS" now are they.  

They should all be sent home to mommy so mommy knows what kind of kid they have and how they treat other people who they think don't belong around them.

The special ed. kid has every right to be there without being treated like an out cast.  The special ed. kid has more guts then the "devils with horns" cheerleaders.  He has to stand alone while the little devils have there own little group.

I call that  "foul" play!  Some people just never grow up.  You have your choices who you could make a report to:  principal,  school counselor or special ed. teacher.  I wouldn't even bother to talk to them yourself.  They'll just turn on you.  Besides the administration needs to know what's going on.

It's good to here from someone who is concerned about someone else for a change.  Good job!  THREE CHEERS FOR YOU!!!

Answer 8

They them they aren't any smarter than he is! They are probably dumber. Hay Hay!

Answer 9

First, I want to tell you that you are a good person, with a good heart. Second, if you don't do something about the situation, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Years from now, thinking about it, you'll feel bad. But my suggestion is to inform somebody you trust and is in a position of authority. And the sooner, the better. And I wish you good luck and much happiness. You deserve it.

Answer 10

tell'em with the back of your hand

Answer 11

One day Karma will get them. I think it's how you are raised, I never acted like that in school.

Tell them to back off, if you have to go to the cheer coach, go up the chain if you have to

Answer 12

Congratulations to you for not being superficial and for seeing these girls for who they are.  Rely on actions, not words - if you say too much the cheerleaders may make fun of what you say.  Just make a point of being nice to the special ed guy and get your friends to be nice to him too.  Make your own peer pressure.  Good luck!

Answer 13

I would ask these girls how would they feel if this young man was their brother or their child, and people were being mean and deliberately excluding him from something he wants to do.

I would also point out that this young man has the same thoughts and feelings as they do. You could also say that they are showing to the football players their bitchy side and its not a nice look.

Sadly the probability of one of these girls having a child with a disability one day is on the high side. Not that they will believe you as they sound pretentious little so and so's.

If they ever do anything to harm him or make him upset report them immediately.

Continue to be yourself and showing people how to be a real person and treat this young man with respect he is due.

Good luck

Answer 14

continue doing what you're doing.  ignore the ignorant and focus on something other than the cheerleaders.  quit lumping people into stereotypes, too.

Answer 15

SAY SOMETHING!
