Why I’m pissed off today:

So we were at an assembly at school for a speech about special olympics so ofc I was all pumped to be inspired and shit but as I sat down the word “retard” penetrated my ears and I cringed so hard you could almost hear it. But I sat down, because I wasn’t going to let them get to me.

But I was horribly mistaken.

As the assembly began, the speaker introduced this one guy and he, of course, was autistic. His speech was about how special olympics improved his life and made him feel good about himself. However, my concentration on this amazing speech given by this amazing person, I hear music. From the girl next to me. She was literally playing music during his speech. And it was loud, too. Screamo music, it was.

So I turned to her and I ripped an earbud out of her ear and hissed, “Pay attention.” Maybe that was too harsh, but I was angry. Anyway, the girl gave an exaggerated sigh like “oh my God I cannot believe this bitch just said ‘pay attention’ to me”. But she watched. For about five minutes. Then she started talking to the guy next to her. I told her, “Shut up! Can’t you see someone is talking?” So she gave me another exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes.

I could hear two boys making extremely rude comments about this man’s speech, which was inspirational and probably meant a lot to the autistic kids at my school. I wanted to scream. The whole time this man was talking about how he was bullied for being different, for not being able to talk correctly, for being “slow”, these kids were making fun of him again. This man, who won three gold medals in special olympics.

Amazing.

Later, when his speech was almost over, the man asked, “So are you ready to support special olympics?” And while most people cheered and clapped and whatnot, the girl yelled, “No.”  Just, “No.” So I turned to her, and I asked why. She said, “This assembly is so stupid. Who even cares about autistics it’s not like there are a lot of them.” I was so amazed that someone could even let themself think that sentence, that I was silent for a few seconds.  But then the rage kicked in.

And so I said to her, “Listen here, you uneducated dildo, this is important. There are kids with parents who abandoned them on the street, just because they didn’t turn out exactly as they wanted. You don’t have to be such a fucking twat and make fun of kids who already get enough ridicule by everyone on fucking Earth. Grow up, learn some damn respect, and stop being such a fucking dickhead.” Thinking that would shut her up, I was proud.

However, she just rolled her eyes and said, “whatever.”

"Whatever."

UGGGHHHHH I WAS SO ANGRY I COULD HAVE LOST IT RIGHT THERE. This is a really long post but I just wanted people to see how FUCKING ANGRY I AM.
