Everyone more or less laughed and made fun of special children (and also "weird" or "abnormal" people) at one point in their lives, you'd be lying if you deny that.
My question is,
Why do we laugh?
Is it because it is genuinely funny, thus we laugh?
Is it to make ourselves better? if so what's the difference?
It is genuinely funny because they aren't normal.
Is there something wrong with that?

Well, you don't laugh when you are alone with the child, so it's not funny.

I think it's more of nervousness around your peers.

People get that herd mentality and I think they actually do see it as funny at the time because they haven't had time to reflect on it as they are too busy impressing their friends then that changes when they're alone

its wrong...

People laugh because they don't understand what they've been going through. I personally know of children with special needs and it's hard. But the thing about them is that you appreciate every single achievement and progress they do. Sometimes, even them talking is of very high regard. Unlike regular kids, you won't appreciate their achievements because they have to get these ones

no we dont laugh to the special child because they are human like us,they are lucky because they not need to understand what is wrong in this very sinfull world,not like us a normal person but we made a sin everyday.

I didn't, and I'm not lying. You're just a horrible person, and what's more, you have the strange belief that everyone else is as horrible as you are. Why is that? Have you actually never met any decent people in your life? Or are you just searching for some justification (however flimsy) for your behaviour because you know, deep down, that it's wrong and you're an awful person?

This is unacceptable. It is not their own will to be special child. They are not called special to laugh at and make fun of. They are special because they deserve more love and care than us

why do people laugh? why do people cry? Both questions contain similar answers. when people are very unhappy they feel sad and nervous. People also laugh when they are happy. It is very difficult to make an unhappy person laugh. happiness and sadness are the instant emotions of man. There isn't anything wrong about it.

If someone laugh at a child who needs special care must be a total insane. Because, Everybody  can be a possible disabled person and we should respect so-called weirdos. Laughing at abnormal people is so pathetic for sure.

Special child is special. They may not be normal like everyone but God had given them something like talents which made them more special. Making fun of them is not good. In this life, we have to respect each other. There is no perfect person. What we have to do is just be thankful that we are normal.

Every individual must have advantages and disadvantages of each,therefore every individual in the world is different,nothing is the same.What is wrong with children with special need?nothing wrong with the children with special need.They are like that not because of their desires but the destiny of the God.Blame God to make them like that?they are there and they are the same with us,both creatures of God are imperfect,there are many shortcomings and also have advantages.They are same with us,need affection,need attention,and need love.

I think some people laugh because some special child make fun of themselves. They do funny things to make us laugh. But some people are bar. Everytime they saw a special child they laugh. Special child means they need special attention. And we don't have the right to make fun of them. Because we don't know the feeling of being like them.

laughing to other people instead of listening to what they say is a sign of a advanced intelligence according to a leading scientist richard dawkins. When we can proof all others are wrong and laugh at them, we can know that we are more intelligent than them. This is one of the best proof of evolution, as far as we believe.

Wow, look who's not so horrible, called me horrible for asking a question lol.  ;)
Think.

Oh yeah, now that you've mentioned it, it really does make sense. The herd mentality sort of stuff.  I never have thought of it that way  ;D

You seem to be quite lost, I mean the question was about a weird looking/acting human being. None about being right or wrong.

Its totally wrong and unacceptable. Whoever does it deserve bad reputation among people as they are heartless people..

that's not proper bro they are special children who needs a special treatment  we are the one who make a step because God  gave us  more wisdome to think which is the right and wrong to do

People are laughing regarding special children because they don't understand their status, that they may be in hurt because of their condition and laughing about it is not helping.

I guess they just laugh because how different they are than the usual its kind a unique for them but then again it's not right to make fun of them they're normal as we are though in different aspect and besides they don't want to be that kind either it's so happen that some are born that way but that doesn't mean they are less person than we are they have feelings too, and more than anything they need love, acceptance, care and understanding from us.

It's never ok to laugh at someone else's disability. I mean you would never laugh at a guy who lost his arm, or a girl who got her face burned. The same will be applied to special kids. We should make them feel loved and safe from everything. Treat them like regular kids, understand and teach them what they need to learn to libe independently

Maybe you're right, but I think it's a peer pressure just like what the previous posts. Some people also has a genuinely bullshit attitude, they became the source of laughter that  influence even those normal persons to laugh. So yes, it was wrong to laugh and make fun of those innocent disabled persons,  and regardless of whether they act normally or not. Everyone deserves to respect.

What an obvious attempt at a troll thread. "Why do we laugh? You'd be lying if you say no. What is it that makes them so funny." Thread should be deleted for obvious troll attempt. You dmf.

lol, would you like someone make fun of you when you were younger ?
The thing is you shouldnt do what you don't like to happen to you or your kids, and thats it.

Yes I admit, once or twice in my life I made fun of them. Maybe because I was too young before and no knowledge why they are different from others. But when I get older and be educated, I realize those things arent good.

special child , we have family members that special child very friendly and once he surrenders her body with essence to is happy in his ability i how we laugh so we love him even he such special with her family so we kept him as we don't want him to oppress others because painful feelings i do mock them because she would so we love him.

Doing it is TERRIBLE. People laugh from others to hide their insecurities as the special people make them feel better with themselves, its a sign of mediocrity

People who laugh at  weaknesses of special children may not have feelings, what we should do is support them by giving them the motivation to live like normal people. it should be the laughing people thinking what if it's happens to their family and friends, whether they will laugh too.

Most often, uneducated and unspiritual people laugh ad special children
I think, it indicates an undeveloped and unformed personality of those, who fun

If you can't see the value of what is being asked, then I can't blame you. Read my posts brother and show me anything related to trolling ;)
or may it is you who's doing the trolling?

Hey y'all I think the question being asked is greatly misunderstood, what I am trying to learn from the collective intelligence of this forum is "why do we laugh", because we DID (at least once in everybody's life).
I'm not declaring the I find pleasure with doing so, I am simply asking on behalf of everybody.

I really don't think that making fun of a special child is funny because each one of us is unique. They were called special because they have something special within them of not on physical aspect but the things inside them. I know someone who is a special child but he is really good in mathematics or even in music. We are not in the right place to judge and make fun of them because we do not know someday they will become more better than us normal people.

I admit I've done it before, and I am not proud of it. I personally think that it is partly due to human nature that we laugh at unfortunate individuals, it sounds monstrous but people tend to make fun of what they don't understand and that is especially true when a lot of people do it. However it is still wrong and this problem can be solved if people were just more sympathetic, talk to or try to or help someone that deserves it instead of laughing at them.

I think that's rude though some of us thinks it's fun. They are the ones who needs special attention and respect. They are facing and will face more in the future so we must be an example of respect and must treat them with love  We don't know what they're going through.

I don't understand how it can be fun...is it fun to humiliate a person who is less than you and can't stand up for himself? I think it's only sick people who try so to raise their self-esteem or something like that...unfortunately, this is not treated

I hate those people who make fun of special child. I understand their situation because I have a brother who is special child. It's so hurt for me to see other people making fun of my brother. It's like I want to throw a stone in their head because of it. Never do it.

I have a sister who is special.And i hate those narrow minded people who try to laugh topeople with dissabilities.Too bad that they do not experience those things.But for me i am proud to be a sister of a special child.

Why do you have to laugh at somebody who is disable from fancy and not fault of his or her. My ethnic group abhore on that and believe if you do that , you will have same in your family.

Some point it was funny, some of their actions are funny but not just like you see them. They were born how they looks and we should accept or treat them as normal children. but I've observed many children are making laugh the special child maybe they are immature and not knowing the situation of that special child.

Special children are special person with special needs. Dont laugh at them because they are humans too. Their actions may differ from normal people but dont laugh at them. Instead, understand them and love them.

It is not funny at all to making fun with special child. Its rude. It doesnt mean that they are different we are going making fun of it. Its not. They need a special attention. It is not funny.

Making fun of special child? Well yeah i admit i laugh  because of special child, but not because I'm making fun of them, it is because i feel happy whenever i play with them. I know someone personally who is special child, yes they might be not normal like us but they are special, very special that they can make you happy even with simple things they do.

A child will feel comfortable and happy when their parents show love and attention when children need it. Parents' concern in the smallest thing can help parents in educating children. attention does not mean talking about how you as a parent can deliver the material or favorite things of the child, but also in action, for example what you can do is when your child is learning, that's when you can show your attention and love in a wayaccompanying them, even if just sitting next to them.so your child will be more eager in learning and if there is trouble, you can help the child solve it.

Being a parent is a noble duty and responsibility. Be the parents your child can be proud of. Educate your child well, then your child will give joy to you and your family.

Yeah, it's make me angry when someone make special children as a joke.. Their behavior is same as like bullying, and i don't disagree with that. Eventough they just wanna make fun of this, i think this isn't funny because it's hurt/ disgrace the special children. We shouldn't distinguish them, because all the human in the world are same. God created us to complete each other.
If we happy or laugh when someone made fun of special children, actually i think we are same like bullying special children too. Before we do that, we should imagine take position of the victim (in this case special children, weird or abnormal people). Do you like treated like that?! Of course NO, so you musn't do that to another people.

It is not bad to laugh it is human. but if you laugh at not funny it is a sign of mental illness. laughing on abnormal people is not normal. laughing with them is normal.

Of course,it is wrong, can how you make fun of them, this would hurt them a lot.

Actually I have known a special child and played with him ,
He was good at playing basketball I mean his shooting skills he can't really dribble but when it comes to shooting he have a very good accuracy .

Special child can also feel and be hurt, they are the ones who needs love and understanding from people who is normal around him. Making fund of them wont make you a better person instead it will degrade your personality.

I feel bad to those people who are laughing and making fun of special children. There's nothing wrong with them, it's not their fault that they are different from other people. People should not make fun of them because they are human too and they deserve to be treated fairly and respected.

The more laughter, the less sick . It's key in the medicine .

We can laugh when good things happen, but laughing always depends on what we see, never make fun of special people cos they never wanted to be criticized,  all we can give them is respect and Love.

It’s a big No No to laugh at a Child with special needs. What they need is Love, care and understanding.

It comes from a deep insecurity and attention to image/outside appearances over anything else. Our society views people in a way that accentuates only the outer.

In my candid opinion, it is very wrong and abnormal to make fun of special children. The name says it all 'Special Children' and as such making fun of them is wrong. First and foremost, it is not by choice those children are born the way they are. Some are a result of their genetic make, and the like. People who laugh at them do that for their own reasons but it is just wrong.

It's morally and ethically wrong to do this. People are people, we are all human. Unless of course, you are laughing along with them in some fun filled activity. The other ways are abuse.

They laugh maybe because it is a way of showing their fondness to the child. I have a nephew who is special and he loves to imitate cartoon characters that he watched on tv. After watching he runs outside and acts like he is the character on tv. Everyone who watches him including me laughs at the sight but it is my way of showing my fondness to the kid.

Human life sometimes needs to laugh as children. Smile makes you rejuvenate a lot. Science has proved that people who laugh more will help to increase life expectancy compared to those who live less laugh. Bring a smile to this life that is painful.

When I was younger, I admit that I always stay away from children with special needs. I don't laugh at them. I just don't associate with them thinking that they'll hurt me. When I was older I got the chance to work with these kids and it was at first scary because these children sometimes have tantrums and if that tantrum increases and builds up, they will eventually hit you. Even though that happened to me, my life changed because of them. The way I see them changed when I get to see them face to face. I fully respect these kids and hope that they always get the help that they need for them to be open and sociable with other people.

Every living person or organism that lives in this world is entitled to a respect. Respect other people and they will do so to you especially those special children. We should not laugh on them since in the first place they do not wish that they will be special, they have also a heart that will be hurt.

When people are happy , they will laugh . When you laugh , it will help you better when you are sad .
Laugh is just instant emotion , if you know how to use it , your health are very good .

I think the reason why I am making fun of others is that he is different from common practices and ideas. You raised this issue and made me realize that my previous practice was a bit excessive.

when i was a kid, when i see freak and weird people, i laugh because that was the society do, i see my friends and other people laugh so i do too but i do not know why because that makes us laugh even if that is wrong. and now i am young enough to understand all, when i see weird and freak, i felt pity to them because what if i am in there position and they have mine, do i like to laugh at me?. that is what i think when i see special person. i wish all also.

Making fun of a special child is like being stupid in front of an innocent person. Special children don't like their condition and we don't know their agony and hardship that they are facing every day. they deserve to be respected and they deserve to be loved. Making fun of them is like being an abnormal and uneducated person.

Dont know why some stupid people make fun of special children. They are also humans like us. I work hard to maintain my belief that the world is basically good and that most of the people in it are good as well. To this end, I really want to believe that most of these comments, no matter how inappropriate, hurtful or insulting they may be, come from a place of good intentions that have gone away.

If someone tells you that his or her child has any type of disability or challenge, the correct response is never to downplay this child’s challenges by making fun or suggesting that they don’t really exist or at least that they are not apparent to you.

well in my opinion people laugh towards children with special needs because of the outer looks or actuations they've seen on them without realizing the fact that these children needs more understanding and love ! Maybe also because these people are not well inform or know-nothing about these children with special needs! And so its time to educate ourselves and be open-minded to embrace their world so that we know how to deal and mingle with them in a positive way! As you progress to know deep about them you'll see the real beauty of the world that you may consider them precious and humans too with feelings and emotions and need respect too!

We don't have to laugh at them, we have to respect as they are equally important and has to get equal respect like what need. What we need to do supposedly is support them and help them regain the confidence that they deserve.

At first I didn't understand why they are special thats why I laugh but later on, when I somehow understand their doings and how they can cope up with the society that we have , I can't help myself to smile because they are so courageous and strong to face the world everyday..

I have to admit it, I may have at least once laughed at a child with a special need, though that was before when I was still ignorant. But as I grow older and learn about the challenges they face and their beauty, I came to realize that I was wrong about them, that I am worst than them when I belittle them. I now have a broader knowledge and understanding for these kids and can't tolerate others who bully them.

There's a difference between humor and cruelty. Some people don't seem to get it. And that's horrible for both parties involved.

great stupidity should be in my head to laugh at special children...maybe I don't quite understand the question, but it's at least uncivilized

People laugh because they don't know what they been through. They don't know the struggle and hardship of being different in others. We don't have to be rude to them just because they're different we should treat them equal.

I don't think that's right, even tho its humor or what. It's not good to laugh to those people whose different. Its cruel. We don't know the struggle and what there going through and daily life. We should repect and treat equal everyone.

What do you mean special child..
Special as in a CABBAGE and your saying ARR that special child OR he or she is really clever?..

Because ARR your a special child :D..

Well, as far as I can remember I never laugh a special child before or even once and I won't even. Unless, they're making fun about a thing that makes everyone laugh, so do I, and I'm not lying. Poor you if you laugh weird people, special children, or abnormal person, because you don't understand what they're going through. I've seen a lot of people making fun of someone who is different, and I feel so pity for them, because they still don't understand a lot of simple things around them, specially old guys.

 
 It is extremly bad ,  we all are same...

When i was growing up i had 2 friends handicapped 1 was on crutches he dead now..
But should of seen him on his crutches playing frisbee  he would flip it up and spin it on his crutch and fling it AMAZING and play football BUT i was scared to tackle him in case i got hit with a crutch.. :D

When growing up always someone on your street who has some form of handicap but always made our handicapped mates one of us NO DIFFERENT..

Its wrong to laugh at them we should understand what they are going through and we should realize that we are luckier than them. Treat them with respect and feel compassion for them instead.

People laugh at special children because they don't share their experience.

To make fun of a particular kid, you need to focus on them. Do what your children like. You are always at the side of children making a home for them. gifts that children like. You lead the kids to the zoo park. That's what the kids need.

I have laughed at one time when I was a child and couldn't understand that it is a disability. Such moments can be justified since the intention of insulting is not there. But if someone who is grown enough to understand such issues is laughing at such people there is something wrong with his/her humanity.

The best way to make fun of a particular child is to do whatever they like. For example, you take the kids to the zoo park. You feed them the things you like. You always stay by the side. next to the kids to take care of them. That is the best thing to make children especially happy.

It is not their mistake to be a special child. They should be treated fair and well because they need special attention too. Treating them bad or either making fun of them is the worst thing that we could do to them. We must actually love them because they are in the midst of a difficult situation. They aren't too different from us, it just happened that they had some disabilities but they deserve to be respected.

Don't laugh, we have to love them be thankful because we're one of them. Treat them like a normal.

I cannot see any reason to laugh at them (special child) Whenever I see them, it reminds me how blessed I am and I should tell them that they are a blessing  ;)

For me its n0t my attitude to laugh the special child im m0re on observant and curious how life of the special child every day.

Make fun of or make fun of a child with special needs. I think it's the wrong thing. We should be more concerned with them. If we laugh at or even disturb them, it can infuriate them. Because children with special needs when angry will be difficult to control, they tend to be rude without thinking long.
We are normal people who should treat them with honor because they are as human as we are. Never discriminate against them.

I do not laugh whenever I see a special child or "abnormal". My husband's niece is a special child. She was diagnosed of cerebral palsy when she was one year old. Every time I see her, it really breaks my heart, because of the idea that she was deprive of her childhood. She is now 8 years old but never knows how to walk and stand alone. My son always ask me, "why ate cannot talk and cannot go to school like me?". I will just answer him that her ate is very sick that's why she is different. It is not a funny thing to have a special child in the family, so its not good to laugh at them after all.

I dont find special children or suffering people funny at all. I use to feel sad while I see such people. Well maybe once i did laught at some disable person behaves funny, but anyone could be funny sometimes

Well there are just a lot of people who are not thinking clearly sometimes. In this modern age, the people will have a more straight way of thinking about that issue. People who make fun of special children probably aren't different from the ones they're making fun of because who in their right minds would stoop that low just for fun

There's nothing funny with special kids (as well as " weird " or " abnormal " people ) and we should not laugh at them. We should to encourage and support them to be able to do what normal peoples can do and treated them more specially rather than normal people. Think about it if it happens to you or your family, So you can feel what they feel when laughed at.

Why people Make Fun Of the Special Children
The society has looked upon Children with Disabilities as outsiders for Centuries. All children who don’t seem quite right in one way or another has been made fun of, held back, harassed, cut off from reality, pushed aside, hospitalized, and ignored for so long that we as a society should  be totally  ashamed of ourselves. We celebrate Our Freedom on Independence Day, but has anyone ever thought about what kind of freedom we offer those with Disabilities.  Something to think about.

 

Every person should have the chance of their own independence.

We need to help the children with Disabilities get a chance at life that we all take for granted. Each child born with a disability is dependent on someone for the rest of their life, almost always. But in todays Society we could help these children find their place in life and let them have opportunities,  just like we have.  Just because some children look a little different, walk a little different, talk a little different, and act a little different. What right do we have to continually hold these children back from reaching goals and being productive in some manner?

 

Our ancestors have handed down a horrible injustice, to us and our children who will be our future someday. Prejudism is a crime, we form an opinion on these children before we even have knowledge of who they really are, and who they can become. We assume that they can never live a normal life, and wouldn’t be able to fit in with society. Wrong!!!

 

Most of the time those who laugh at special or disabled people are just mere children who really don't know any better but if a grown up does that, then there is no excuse to justify that action in the first place.

Well human physiology shows that as we were kids we would laugh when our friends made a silly face like stick their fingers widening their mouths having their tongue out, when it comes to special children. I would only laugh if they face is like half blown off, just because of a resemblance that we have seen as kids and we laughed at.

Making fun with a special child was very happy thing i experience to be with them in my past on the job training last december 2017 for my clinical setting and i handle a lots of special child kids and they are all cute and adorable for me uts very fun having with them they are all have a special thing but we need to be loved them and treat all of them with all our heart because for me as my degree as a psychology major we need to keep them in a safe and give also them a chance to be learned and teach them all giid things like with other children they could also fun when you teach them a lesson that they learned from you its so nuce to see that they are learned also like other children that is normal. In this I love to say that its very fun tobe with a child with special because even though that they are special they are inneed they could also learned and teach some other ways to be educated so that they could also helped themselves in some but for some this can ve helped with them for some other way. They are all deserved to be love and cared espeacially in learning one of the best thing that they could also have is educated as well with the other kids in able to be more fun with them and they will gave you a attention you need first to cathed there attention give them a activities let say fun activities that you will see that they can enjoy it because i know that from there learning you need to be patient to handle them because they learned by little by litte but make sure that they will learned after the day make them feel that they are special and loved because every child needs to be special

It is wrong.We do not laugh or fun to the special child. Because Special child is really  special. They may not be normal like everyone but God had given them something like talents which made them more special.

there are few human beings who have not realized and it is mocking that has the privilege of being jealous of him, because he is one step ahead of this, this is not realized for the lost man, can only mock because despair can not advance more special

Laughing at a special child is bullying... Making fun a special child is bullying... Teasing a special child is bullying... Is it ok to bully? I mean a regular child being bullied and everyone goes up in arms. A special kid being bullied is of course something worse. It's not their fault and whatever is funny about what they're doing is not. We shouldn't laugh at people for their misgivings. We should understand and try to put ourselves in their shoes and feel what they're feeling

It is one of the most inhumane behaviour. It hurts a lot to the whole society. We should be careful, cause it is something which can happen to anyone. You can not escape from it.

We should not be making fun of other people whether its a special child or normal or black or white. We should respect and love one another to make this world a better place.

Making fun of a special child is not good because God created us equally..  He loves , adore , care us equally . Same as we  do for them, that's why they called special child because they are special they need right attention, respect and  love by us.

theres nothing wrong about a special child most of them are gifted so theres no reason of making fun of them,they are born in this world to see the beautiful creation of God,though they are unfurtunate people but they are so blessed so they desreved our love and care.

Laughing?
I saw ignoring, disregarding, avoiding... but I've never noticed laughing at special children. I personally do not know how to behave when I have to deal with these children. Pretend they are normal? Or pay more attention? It's always a tricky thing because you might ask the inappropriate questions...

It is not funny at all. Its awful. They don't know what expects them in the future

Why just why would you want to scar someone mentally.life has already played a cruel joke on them and why would you want to add to that misery.Bottom line is if you're word's or action are not helping someone and you have no right to be cruel to them just for your amusement and even if you are helping somebody that doesn't gives you the right to abuse or harasses them

It's because they're different and unique. That's why they laugh and make fun of them. People nowadays have this mentality where they make fun of others for them to feel better especially in the internet. It is bullying and it's not funny. I believe that those who make fun of others especially the special children will have their own taste of karma someday.

If you make fun of a physically disabled person, Congratulations you are now a certified mentally disabled person.

I have a nephew he is a down syndrome he cant speak fluently but he is a comedian we laugh at him and his so happy when we get fun with.but when other people chasing him and laugh at him our feelings get hurt i hate to see people making fun with the special children.

To be honest, yes I laughed quite a few times.
For me, the reason is because they look funny in some occasions.
For example;
An adult explaining something serious and there is a special child looking straight at the adult with a goofy face!
That occasions snaps my composure and makes me laugh. :'(
Am going to hell.

Yeah, I laughed at some special children when i was a kid. Because i didn't understand why they look,act and think different the way i used to.
At that time, i didn't understand many things and why i made fun on certain people with that condition. Its been taught at schools that it was a bad thing to do,but what wil i do? Im just a kid. I realized later in life that it was wrong, i grew up and i understand it now more than ever and they should be treated fairly and people should help them not laugh at them. People don't know what they're going through and what they're love ones feel when people mistreated them and to become a laughingstock of some people. We should be more compassionate and be nicer to people whether they're normal or people who needs special care.

Those who do funny things to special child is the most special ever. Not all special child is funny most of them don't really know what is going on in thei environment. Unlocking the ideas of fun moment with them will start to inner self to understand what they feel. I don't agree that they are funny. To think now you are above normal. And what if you have a child or sister with that kind of optimism do you think you can make yourself funny. I don't care if they are what you called abnormal the important is they don't do such wicked things like normal almost do. Those who make lough with them is more special than special.

Making fun of a special child is completely a disgrace and no one should ever do that.

Making to a special child is unacceptable. He/she need to learn their lesson and should go to jail. A jail time is needed for them to learn. Making fun and simply laughing because the moment was really are two different things.  Kids are out of the question here because they don't understand why a special child act and looks different. Maybe we can try to explain it to them. That's what I do to my kid and he listens. Kids will understand it. Maybe others can do it as well.

They laugh because of their differences the way they talk,the way they act.Yes sometimes I also laugh when I see people on that situation but after that what if I'm on their show,I also ctitisize,laugh with other.They also have feeling that made them hurt while you are being fun of them.
Instead of laughing just love and comfort them on their situation.

They laughed because they dont know how hard the situation of an special child.maybe i laughed before when i was still young but when i grow up and understnaf everything i never laugh to them i admire them instead.its not their fault to be like that.

Everyone has some time or the other laughed at the special child. Sometimes in school kids do make fun of children who are special and they don’t treat them no

I honestly laughed and was disgusted about special people before because of lack of knowledge about these kind of people. Also, their physical appearance is far from the norm and its like a taboo to thier families. But while studying, i learned to understand and appreciate these people, and now i teach children with special needs. I pity those who still exclude them and seem disgusted about special appearances and out of the norm characteristics of people with special needs.

I remember back when I was in grade school there was a spate of mine whom is ridiculously weird. We would make fun of her during breaktime or when schools over. We would tease her and call her names. It just feels good.
When I reached adulthood, recalling that memory brings me pain and regret. I admit to myself back then I was stupid and a total idiot for making fun of her. How I wish that I can turn back time,I would've protected her from bullies like myself. It's no good to make fun of special kids. Love is what they need. Understanding and friendship is what they desire.

Well I think when someone feels insecure, they tend to target things to break down so that they can build them self up to make them feel better about themselves. So thay make fun of special kids because they are easiest and most obvious targets possible.

Has anyone seen the film My Flesh and blood where Susan adopts children who are special and treat them as families. The movie is so art warming and beautiful

Laughing at them is not something worse, Some normal people are even worst than them in terms of behavior. By saying we laugh doesn't mean we feel guilty about doing something on them. We should be treating them fairly equal. You must laugh with them of course to make them happy because they need it. Sometimes we need to understand the barriers between the so called normal and not normal. These barriers are breaking us apart when we don't need to. Why in the world these terms are even here for them? Can we just put it aside and look at them as normal people despite of their mentality difference?

We just don't realize that we are lucky enough not to be born like these special children.

It's a big NO NO! We should help them instead.

A lot of people make fun of special kids because they are unaware of what is going around in their mind and they do not want to get into the depth

No. No one laugh at special kids as they are also humans. Most of us are very sensitive towards these kids and we make sure not to hurt their feelings at any c

I understand when you are too young and you don’t understand things and you make fun of special kids but otherwise don’t. It’s not good.

Even I am guilty of doing this before during my younger days and it was really inappropriate and shameful now that I remember how I acted before. I think the reason for that is because our society is not educated with the different kinds of conditions so we don't know how to deal with it and instead, make fun of what we don't understand.

Special kids are the blessings from the God and it is a way of making sure that how we treat people in our general life. 

Most of the people who laughed at them are ignorant of their condition, including myself. I used to make fun of my classmate back on highschool, but since I became a teacher of kids with special needs, I became aware of the difficulties they're handling.

Now I greatfuly regret my actions back then, the only thing I could do is share awareness about it. I felt that it's my obligation now.

One of my classmate were really weird and looks like a special child so everytime he'll do something, it is just so funny that we tend to laugh but most of the time, I always have this feeling that why he was like that which ends up me being annoyed. It is not right to do this,given that I have a brother who was a special child. I was so angry to those who laugh at him yet Im doing it to others. We should take into our mind that even though they have special needs, we don't have the right to discriminate them because like us they are also humans. Stop making them more of a human than to you who laugh at them.

Special kids are more sensitive towards everything as they know that they are a little different and therefore we must just let them be.

Often the super rich make fun of the rest of us. Why? Because we are so special that we can't make a lot of money.

8)

It could be because we find anything different difficult to deal with and we become nervous, unsure how to behave.

They handle things differently with us boys. Their thoughts and mind are constantly changing.

Maybe they just think there's something weird about it and it's not natural what he did why just play it and not do the job like the theme so it looks a bit funny and weird, also what should he do That is important he keep the spirit of living his life and always happy with this way

They are born like that because God wanted them to be special. It is not their fault and hence we should not laugh at them for them being special.

It's funny because it's not happening to you. And immature people tend to do that when they are with their friends and they have nothing to talk about so they find something to laugh about.

Making fun of special child ?of course,that is not good, that is why we call  them a special because they have a special feelings that needs our special care and treatment, I believe that handling a special child is not easy but if you have a true heart  a dedication of what you are doing ,you can handle it well,,.

I won't deny that a few years ago, I was scared of them. I wouldn't laugh at them, just scared to go near them or be near them. Then I got the opportunity to teach these children with special needs and I found out that they were the sweetest. They are just misunderstood because of their behaviour but extract that from them and they're just children that wants acceptance and love. Let's keep an open mind and an open heart towards these children.

Special kids are important and are the blessings. No one should make fun of them.

Special children are also deserving to live ordinary CHILDREN So do not making fun special children. because special children is so special to us.

Everyone has made fun of a special child be it intentionally or otherwise, but its wrong.

I think for children special needs (disabilities) we should not be shrouded because they also have rights like us all. So instead we give them appreciation because they have a high life, even with their shortcomings still able to work in all areas, including in the Olympics, becoming a singer, being a teacher even though with their limitations have a fighting spirit to compete with us all.

They are born like that and one should not laugh at them.

It is not a good thing to make fun of these special kids as they are very emotional.

It is not advisable to make fun of special kids as they are very sensitive.

Is the topic because of the movie that came out late last year?
https://youtu.be/Ob7fPOzbmzE

I was surprised that it was about a real kid.
https://youtu.be/feGliiEsomo
It is sad to see people making fun of a child with a disability.
They should be deformed themselves to know what it is like to endure such ridicule.

Just not needed in this world. :-\

There are many beautiful films about Special kids and one must learn from them.

Making fun of a special child was really rude. they were call 'special' for a reason. Making fun of them actually means that they are better than others when it comes to attitude and personality. Let us take a glance and reflect on ourselves first before doing or acting like we are higher or a bigger person than they are.

It is wrong! That is disrespectful for Creator of  life.children is a gift from God.a gift worthy to be love ..

Perhaps we are laughing because of the childish immediacy? It does not matter which child. All children are united by naivety. Adults forgot this!

No.Most of us are very sensitive towards these kids and we make sure not to hurt their feelings.

One should never make of special child as it is not good at all.

I think it’s just a crazy person who make fun of people who have a special needs, I think all people need to be respected, because in this world there is no perfect

Making fun of special children is never a good thing to do. We should be taking care of them not making fun of them. I never laugh at them even once i can assure you that. Because i know it's not the right thing to do.

Making fun of a special child is not a normal act because it is too rude and harsh. Special children needs special attention because they are not normal as we are. They need comfort and understanding. Making fun of them is not a right thing and it's too unjustifiable. They are not funny with their condition and we should respect them.

Laughing has different reasons and thoughts. Sometimes we laugh at someone because they say things that sound funny, sometimes we laugh with a though that the person is crazy or they are not normal, sometimes we laugh with a thought that we are better than them and they are inferior to us. If the intention of laughing is the feeling that we are better than them and they are laughable idiots then that is wrong. Sometimes we just laughs with a mere innocent laughter. We laugh with them but lovingly accepting and understanding them.

social repression of our inner thoughts. Just a Freudian theory ;D ;D

It is very sad that the society we are in continues to make fun of people or things they don't really understand. There is nothing funny about someone being physically or mentally challenged.

Being a special child is not their choice, its the will of God. Therefore we should not make fun or even discriminate them because they are also human and they deserved to be respected.

making fun of special kids is not right as they also have emotions.

It is not good to make fun of special kids rather one must be very supportive to them.

I honestly don't think that people laugh directly at special children. For example, if I call my best friend a "retard" it is meant purely as a joke. I mean we hear that kind of name calling or joke since childhood. We don't really put much attention into it. Special kids look and act differently, and unfortunately when we make stupid faces when joking with friends the word "retard" always come up to describe the person who's doing the action. If you're a fan of Jim Carrey's way of acting, you know what I'm talking about.

No one should make fun of special kids as they are innocent people and its not fair to them.

Then what is Fair? First, we have to understand the meaning of fun/happines the very moment when we are happy is caused because somewhere is happening something negative. Does even someone answer Yes in this topic? I had fun sometimes from special people but I didin't know that the are special. I wonder if they do not mind, what then.

No one can make fun of children who have special privileges, basically all the same they are also God's creation that we should appreciate.

Special kids are also smart but no one should make fun of their disabilities.

Try to understand them, everyones no rights or authority to laughed them but try to give them care and love and try to feel them that they are normal person that has no disabilities.

we should not do this type of things with this types of child they feels very bad for getting this kinds of behaviour from us. so as being physically good we should support them make their life easier we should not let them feel unwanted

The special kids are a little emotional and it is not good to make fun of them.

It is not fair to make fun of special people and no one should do that.

they're humans too with their condition we normal people should show them love, care and understanding.

My son considered as Special Child but he's condition is not on his Physical appearance. He has a Speech delay and Hyperactive disorder or ADHD. I don't think it is good to laugh with those who have special needs. They need more love and care. They are also like us who has feelings and understanding. They know if people are laughing at them.  :'( it is so sad to have a society like that.

Disabilities cover a wide range. Some are obvious -- such as a child with a physical disability who uses a wheelchair or a child with a visual impairment who uses a cane to navigate when walking. Other disabilities may be more "hidden" -- for example, children who have learning disabilities or autism spectrum disorder.

It is okay to make fun of the special kids as it will make them feel normal.

It does not make sense at all to laugh at those special child, God created them and no one knows what the future holds for them.

They are special and one must never make fun of them.

No one should make fun of special kids as they don’t deserve it.

Manusia adalah makhluk yang tidak sempurna, manusia itu pun diberi kelebihan dan juga kekurangan maupun fisik dan rohani, jadi tidak pantas kita menertawakan kekurangan seseorang, karena kita sama-sama Mempunyai kekurangan tersendiri.

It is not right to laugh or mock special children. It's not their fault to be born that way. God made them as he made normal people. God loves all children who ever they are. They are born for a reason. They are a blessing to every family. Everytime you see special children,  be thankful because you are not one of them. Be thankful because none of your children are special.  We have no right to laugh at them,  they are also human who needs love and belongingness.

Honestly, when I see a special child, at first I am smiling (I am entertained inside) but I didn't reach the point that I am making fun of them. I sometimes ask their names ( Just a friendly gesture ) so they would not feel uncomfortable because of what they are. After all, they are still human, who knows, they could help me in the future.

No one should make fun of special kids as they are innocent people and its not fair to them.

These abnormal children are the ones that have important roles in future of the world. Eg: Scientists, phylosophers...

They are special and one must never make fun of them.

One should never make of special child as it is not good at all.

they are actuallly god gifted childs they are not any special child they are normal dont never ever make fun of those childs

On my mind,  laughing is needed to make us feel better.  But, actually not all of laugh is the real laugh, there are a fake laugh too.  Fake laugh of someone indicate that she/he doesn't in a happy condition. And real laugh can be showed when someone see a funny things/accident in she/her area.

Yeah, we should treat them like there's nothing wrong with them. They are also are brothers and sisters so we should learn to accept who they are. Thou they have those mental problems, God give them specials skills that can amazed anyone. God made us with different uniqueness.

Bila tertawa melihat orang yang istimewa bereti mereke belum pernah merenungkan apa yang telah ditertawakan...

they are innocent and god’s children, and one mustn’t make fun fo them.

No one should make fun of special kids unless you know the person.

Its not cool and no one should ever make fun of the special kids.

It is not a good thing to make fun of these special kids as they are very emotional.

In my opinion, it is never a good thing to laugh at any person due to how he is or came into the world. It is not their fault they are like that, most were born that way.

They are born like that because God wanted them to be special. and you should not make fun of them.

Special kids are more sensitive towards everything and therefore we must just let them be.

That child is special and innocent. They don't even want to be in that kind of situation so you better not make fun of that child because that is too rude. Remember that we are all created equal in the eyes of God and laughing at an innocent child aren't make you perfect. You better have concern about that child because they also deserve to be respected. They deserve to be loved as well and we must be sensitive about it.

You should never laugh or make fun of someone else’s disabilities.

It is not good to make fun of special kids rather one must be very supportive to them.

We should not make fun of a special child,they are child with a condition that is inborn or inherited.we should help them in many ways so that they will feel that they are not different to us.

On the other hand, there are "special people" like notbatman in the flat earth thread. What about them?

8)

You don’t laugh at them because their different.
You don’t laugh at them because you can’t understand them.
You don’t laugh at them because they act differently.
You don’t laugh at them because their not accepted socially.

Instead of laughing at them because they are different why we don’t try to understand them and learn to accept the fact that they are different and being different doesn’t mean that there not capable of loving, respect and understanding. They called special because they are. They created by god differently.

Yes I admit that when I was very young I laughed at these special kids, I dont know why. But as I grow up, and went to school, I gradually understand about them or their situation. They shouldnt be laughed at or make fun of them because they're human beings like us. We should take care of them because they need more care than we do. They should feel that they are loved by the people around them.

In today's age of social media where information and awareness cam easily be spread, making fun of a special child is unacceptable. It has to be among the lowest things anyone can do. We all know that these kids need special attention and the last thing they'd need to be put to is the trauma of having someone making fun of their condition

People laugh because they dont know the feeling's, the one who laugh in that case is have an attitude problem. They don't know that their doing is not helping , it causes more pain to that person why not make them happy and give them a lot of reason to live.

I also feel bad them sometimes it becomes impossible to control our laugh when I see them. I feel so guilty afterwards

yes, they are just like us only they are a bit special from us. if you laugh at them you mean laughing at god. maybe they are not normal but they have a very clean heart and soul. so stop laughing at them, let them live like human in general.

Know the word tit for tat so never try it, or else a day will come when they will laugh at you and you will be helpless

It is absolutely wrong to laugh at other's flaw especially to make fun of a special child. Special children might be different from many children but they also have heart-heart which breaks. Special children, furthermore, needs extra care, love and attention to complete their whole being for the reason that they are physically and mentally-deficient. No to mocking special children, thumbs up for giving love. #JustLove

This should not happen. A person who will bully a special should be on jail. I think we have a punishment for this type of crime and they should get what they deserve. The law will protect this children. I have a cousin who has the same condition and it hurts me every time I saw people laugh at him. We looks like an adult but the way he act is like a 10 year old kid that is way he got bullied a lot of times. This could escalate quick so I am doing my best to defend him whenever I there are  bullies.

This should be stop. Children with disabilities are vulnerable, they needs more attention and love. Parents must educate and guide their children properly that if they encounter special children they must not bully them, instead understand them and care for them for they are special people of God.

If making fun of this, of course, is not very well done. Thus people like that should be given attention because certainly they expect support and encouragement from others very they need.

'Normal' is a very subjective word. A person who differs from you doesn't deserve your ridicule. Respect and humanity, they go together.

Doing the things which a child want to do is fun. Bringing smile on the face which was having tears is surely a fun. Doing the things which makes you happy from inside is fun. Doing the things which makes others happy  is surely fun.

I'm guilty of this. I'm also questioning myself on why it's fun to act like them but I don't do it in front of them and I have never bullied a single one in my whole life. It must be our personality defect that is worst than those special kids that have rare conditions.

It depends on many factors, specially taken on your own sensibility and common sense.
As it may see as "wrong", the child itself can be using his condition to cause laughing and get social interaction, easing the burden he has to carry no matter what. Being too much of an idiot PC may be worse as it ends up being to ignore and give a cold shoulder. Obviously if the child seams to not be enjoying the way you're playing, stop it... you're being a prick.

We don't laugh at them when we are alone but we laugh when we are with others. I think you are just nervous that you think you don't belong if you don;t get along but Special Child is like just one of just. They might have different features, movement, attitude, behavior or any other assets but they are also a child that have a parents. Every child is unique so we need to respect the uniqueness of others. We might think they are abnormal but in reality they are adorable and cute child.

It is wrong to laugh or make fun of children like that. We have to help them in any way we can.
It looks very stupid to see a person who makes fun of children like that.

It is not right to make like at special child. They still a child and they will remain child. They may be different from others but that doesn't lessen their value. Speacial Child is unique on their own way. We at least try to be friends or reach out to them.

I did laughed before, because I was ignorant of their condition until I studied in college and became aware of it.  Now I make it as a personal achievement to share knowledge about these kids.

Im a SPED teacher now.

The reason why people are making fun at the special child because they didn't experience and didn't how painful  their life. Before making fun in anyone make sure you know the story  this. Do you know that they call special child because they are different from the others and they need a special or extra care.
