I could not believe it,my fiance Chase was picked on by two 13 year old boys.My fiance is a little person and he got angry.It all started when we went to the grocery shopping this morning,when they started laughing at him and called him a midget.My fiance got angry and told them to stop which they did not.I did confront them and told them that he is a person born this way,they judged him.Luckily their parents were there and told them they are grounded and chose a punishment.One punishment is that they have to go to one of his seminars on what he was born with,Dwarfism.I do not use the words Midget or Dwarf to describe him.I describe him as a little person which he likes and he is very happy about that.I was taught not to judge anyone and accept the way people are and the way they were born.

Sounds like he's lucky to have you

I also wouldn't worry too much about what young teenagers say...When I was in middle school everyone was mean for no reason at all. I regret a lot of things I said/did at that age. But I know a lot of people grow and become better people because of their stupidness at a young age. If anyone else gives you trouble just carry around a squirt bottle full of water and hot sauce and spray their eyes. Problem solved!

They're 13. When I was thirteen, I was fascinated by people who didn't fit into my typical worldview. I didn't comprehend that it was an unfair disability if I saw a little person.

Now, I understand that the world is bigger and more varied than I can imagine.

Can't really expect 13 year old kids to be mature as they are still at a learning stage.

But good to hear that you told them what you had to and hopefully those kids will learn.

He went through this his whole life being tormented becuase he is a little person at 4" 12 inches.He is very lucky to have me in his life and our friends see us as a couple helping each other out.His family likes me for not judging him and knowing he was born this way.My fiance and I do watch Little People Big World on TLC together and I see him as a person born this way.Their parents were not happy about it what they did to my fiance.

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but isnt 4'12 inches 5 foot?

nikkig · 10th May 2008, 05:45 PM

It is 4'12 inches 5 foot.The 13 year boys were very stupid doing this and are going to learn.

Peridot · 10th May 2008, 05:48 PM

Wow.
I hate how people can be so rude. Sure, they're thirteen, we were all at that age at one point, but you dont have to be so rude.

Love everyone and yourself! Peace!

Good on the parents for sending their kids to a seminar. Hopefully they will learn to become more tolerant of people who are different than themselves. Sure they could give their kid a smack or ground them but the kids will not learn anything about why their behaviour was wrong.

Good on you nikkig! I'm sorry that happened to him. 13 years old is old enough not to do things like that - I'm only 14 for goodness' sake! Some people are just so badly brought up
