Disabilities and Bullies "A difficult challenge brings out the best in people." I think that means that if someone is different, like has a problem, disorder or disability, it brings out the best of them. Like, if you have a disorder and no one knows for a while and then you tell someone, that can bring out the best in you. What that means is that if you have a mental challenge and your parents are the only ones who know about it and after a really long time and you tell someone, they will see that it brings out the best in you if you start acting like yourself.

I have read many books and some of them are similar to the quote. For example, I read a book about Helen Keller. She was blind and deaf but her parents still loved her. Her parents had a special teacher come and teach her and a long time, later Helen and her teacher were very good friends. This relates because even after teaching was over, they were great friends so it shows that her blindness and deafness showed the best in her, and even though she was different, she learned how to read and write.

I have seen movies that relate to this quote, too! The Blind side is very similar to this quote, also. In school, Michael didn't know how to read or write but all his teachers could tell their was something special about him, and they talked to his "foster" parents about a way to help him learn. It is a very touching story and proves that even if you're different then everybody else, you can still be pretty amazing.

For me, I can relate to this quote. Sometimes I just be crazy (in a good way, not the bad way) and I have some friends who like me for who I am, and my craziness is part of that. Also, I am nice and unique and that's another reason why they like me. Even though I can be crazy sometimes, people should appreciate that that's part of who I am. I'm a little different than other people, but I have very good friends who like me for who I am. At camp last summer, some of the girls in my bunk always asked me to sing, and I think they only liked me for my singing voice, not for who I really am. NOTE Why did they do that? The year before was fine with them, but why last summer? Why didn't the girls like me for me? I wonder why other people don't like me. Some don't even know my crazy side, but they just don't seem to like me. It always makes me wonder..... WHY?? Why don't they just take time to know me? It could really help just taking at least a minute to get to know me, no matter what people say! NOTE

Also, I know some situations that this has happened to people and no one really knows why this happens. It's not bullying, or prejudging (even though it might seem it sometimes), it's just not getting to know someone and thinking wrong things about them. I bet at least once in your life something similar or even bullying has happened to you. It happens to everyone! Sometimes I just hear from people about someone getting bullied or people talking behind someone's back, it's not the right thing to do. "A difficult challenge brings out the best in people" and you should always remember that. I know someone who has a disorder, and when I read about the disease they have, I was actually really amazed about what it said. Some people can be really amazing once you get to know them. Can't you agree? I know I can.
