Yn Gymraeg

What I would first like to say, is how I personally have nothing against people with a problem, however big or small. I honestly think that everyone is their own person, and within that person is something amazing, whether they have a disorder or physical ability.

I don't like it, or even understand when people tease or make fun of people with problems. I find it really rude and upsetting and it's even more upsetting for the people. It seems to me that these people have something different about them, which maybe makes them seem more grateful for attention. Nothing bad, but it makes them that more amazing.

I find that most people try to avoid people who have some kind of problem. I do not understand why to be honest. They have so much respect for things and it seems like they have a better view of the world. They appreciate everything they have and are totally great. I know a few friends that have some problems, including ADHD, and they are honestly the funniest people I have ever met.

So they're different, who cares? Not me, that's for sure!

The amount of people I know who would just walk away from someone in a wheelchair because they think they're not capable of talking to them is unbelievable. I honestly would like to slap someone who thinks like that! I can't stand it!

Every chance I get, whenever I see someone in a wheelchair or with a problem (if it is visible), I give a massive smile, and try my best to make them feel like an actual human being.

I've seen some incidents which have turned me sick. Such as someone pushing a wheel chair, kicking a crutch or making fun of someone with a problem. I don't understand how people can do it. These amazing people are just normal people too. Just because they have a slight problem or are different to other people doesn't mean they do not have souls or are not capable of doing things. They are actually people, and I wish more and more people would see this, I wish people could see them as I do.

And I apologise for saying "people". I realise it seems like I am separating them from everyone else, but I do not know how else to put it. And I really don't mean to.
