This article is about the number of autistic children who are bullied and even some reasons behind some of the bullying. According to the article about half of the autistic children in middle and highschool are bullied while 1% of other children are victims of bullies. Some parents say that the number may be higher because some children don't realize when they are being bullied. Since some autistic children can't communicate well and are picked on for being awkward. Other students also pick on them because they don't act the same way that they do. The article also includes ways to help spread the anti-bullying campaign.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it doesn't matter if you are diffrent in any way shape or form you need to treat everyone equally. If you think someone else is weird then just think other people in the world might think your weird and how would you feel if they told you that.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad. :T Hopefully people will learn that we're all human beings and we all have the same skeleton underneath.
