PEOPLE’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS EXCLUSION- IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT…. LEAVE
Today, more than ever before there have been so many cases or stories that I’ve heard from others as well as in myself to what I’ve experienced for so long is the people’s attitudes of others that are different either they’re on the spectrum, or if they’ve got some other special needs, etc is that if they’re accepting of others or if they’re not. I have noticed that some people can be accepting yet they’re still unsure how to respond or treat others that are different no matter who and what they are. My question is do we really know what exclusion is the difference between this and inclusion? Exclusion as a definition and reminder to us all is defined as an act or instance of excluding, the state of being excluded. So, therefore, the exclusion is to prevent or restrict the entrance of, or to bar from participation, consideration or inclusion. So, this is where the exclusion part comes into place. Forgive me if I go off on this, but why is today’s society so exclusive to people and not inclusive like it used to be? Why is today’s society so harsh on each other, but yet so nice at the same time? I guess it depends on how you are raised and how you are brought up, and how you value others and their respect, and how you value others and their feelings, for when you include someone, you accept their emotions, you accept their feelings, you accept for who they are, you accept the type of person they are, and you love them nonetheless. Exclusion and the instance of bullying are to separate from one person to another their values. Exclusion is the lack of self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence and the lack of self-control, albeit being obvious that the bully has an utter lack of self-control because they are being exclusive and intolerable to people who are nice and who are brought up the right way. Because in my opinion people who are bullies have been either bullied by someone they know, who was a friend to them, or they are bullied by someone within their family. So they have to take it out on someone else. They find someone else who they feel they can control and who they feel that they can be superior to and start bullying people. When did that become such a serious issue? When did bullying and the exclusivity of people of separation become an issue to the point where it has to have an end result of being a suicide or someone being hospitalized or someone being interrogated when they are not the victim when in actuality they are, and when they are the bullied victim, but yet they are the ones interrogated when it’s the bully’s fault to begin with because they were doing the bullying? When did schools become so exclusive to the point where they feel that instead of sticking up for their students and teaching them right and wrong where they should be in school? When did schools become so exclusive to the point where they feel they have to sweep bullying under the rug and not stick up for the teachers or the students who are at their schools? When did schools become so exclusive to the point where they have no emotions or lack thereof with the students that are in their schools to where they feel they have to keep sweeping bullying under the rug and not teach preventive measures? When did schools become so exclusive to the point where they do not allow or teach bullying education in their schools to show what is right and what is wrong, what is acceptable, and what is intolerable to those who are in that school? When did society become of age when bullying became so intolerable that students have to bear it at their school to the point where they have to be taken out in order to have an education? When did society become so exclusive that schools and school administration and higher-ups like superintendents have to be so rude, crude, and not live up to their potential of protecting the students within their schools and keeps sweeping bullying under the rug and not protect the students within their schools, within their districts, within their towns, but the whole entire world? What angers me the most as well as hurt me the most is the attitude towards or to others that if you don’t like it then leave… And, where I’ve come across this statement from others is from some schools, friends, teachers, businesses, organizations and so many other places that involve others to participate and to get involved in the community to belong somewhere. As I am trying to do and here goes this word TRYING really hard to fit in if need be or to blend in with my peers wherever I am to participate in community events, community groups, etc. I am trying my best and hardest to access the services I may need for myself to better improve myself and to prepare myself for the real world of what we are to become. I am trying to make friends. I am trying to make contact with others in any way possible. I try my hardest to find a way that works for me to participate in everyday activities that others are doing. When sometimes I myself or anyone that is most likely autistic is asking or receiving from others return is rude and incredibly lazy, of the people thinking or say it in a way that is, “I don’t want to have to bother with that and maybe we should give up! Maybe you don’t need friends, maybe you don’t need the health care and treatment you need, maybe you don’t need the education, maybe you don’t need to go to some public spaces and events that are happening, maybe you don’t need a job, etc.
