    I'm in 4th year i school at the moment! At the end og 3rd year we had the option to do 4th year. 13 of us did it! In our class there is a guy who is midely handycapted! From the first day nobody sat beside him! He is always left on his own! Well we uset all be nice to him in 3rd year but we can't understand what he says! So these all the thing's that happened in early september we were told that the 5th year's and 4th year's could go on a trip to Poland! We all were talking about it and we all decided that we would tell him we were all going but we weren't! So he paid for the trip and when he had it done we all told him we weren't going! Then we went on the national ploughing championships and we all ran away and left him by himself! when we were waiting for the teacher to come back to the bus we all mocked him and his family! Then one day somebody glued him to his seat and we locked him in a room by himself! When ever we go on a trip we leave him sitting by himself! He is always left out of the class! We are going to Greece in a few weeks and He isn't going! He brought football boots into class the other day and we all told hom to learn to walk properly first! I was looking at him over the last few days in school and he is always sad! What should I/the class do? I know what we did was wrong!!!!!!

    Read the threads on here about the effect bullyinh has on people and then have a good think about what kind of person you want to be.

    Imagine what it would be like if it was you that all this was happening too.

    To be honest you just need to grow up

    Does anyone in your class ever say "This is wrong"?

    This is one of the most sickening posts that I've ever read. It makes me so sad and cross that one group of people could treat a person like this. A mildly handicapped person at that.

    To fix this, you need to say 'STOP' to your classmates. And then you need to make sure that it does STOP. Act like a decent human being.

    OP - you need to stop this immediately.

    You are potentially scarring this chap for the rest of his life. How will you feel if some day he has not come in because he tops himself.

    Have a bit of cop and and grow up - stand up for the chap - might make you the pariah but really this kind of behaviour is from another decade. Even infants know better than to act like this.

    It's stories like this that make my blood boil...

    OP - this happened to me in school. Not as bad as you're doing to your classmate, but nasty excluding stuff, remarks, so on. And it took me years to get over it.

    You're going to have to go to a trusted teacher and tell him or her about it.

    Trinity's Anti-Bullying Centre (http://www.abc.tcd.ie/) will come and do a session in your school talking about the effect of bullying. The school might like to organise this.

    Good on you for recognising that this has to stop. Now you have to take action.

    You should beg for his forgiveness. You often hear people say that kids cn be cruel, i don't agree with this because i think (some) kids, especially you and your friends are sick. Did it make you all feel like big boys/girls when you humiliated this lad?? Say this really slowly to yourself so you understand it, 'I bullied this fella because he is handicapped' now does it make you feel like the big man you want to be? What would your reaction be if this happened to someone who was related to you? Grow up and apologise to him and admit you acted like a moron. God this has made me so feckin angry.

    I am reading this and I honestly worry if its a glory scam! as if "Ha look what I done and I am telliing the world" you know whats to be done but what you dont understand is the child.

    Firstly, the term now is mentally disabled because some fools steriotyped everybody in the mentally handicapped class. Have you ever consider how much effort it is for that child to make it to school every day more importantly becuase he is in your class he has some degree of mental competitence which means he prob knows what you are doing. This child has come 3 times the distance you have. He has fought the system and prejudice and been supported by his parents like no other

    Have you ever considered his parents, the love they have for there child and what they feel! if they dont know your doing this I hope they never find out, provided you stop.

    If I said what I wanted I would be banned for life but I will give you a little benefit... Take this to mind. It takes a real person to stand up and set themselves out from the crowd. Dont be afraid to say " This is wrong and I am not going to make my life by standing on the shoulders of others"

    If your friends are worth that much you will continue this but if you have any notion of life and feelings you will stop this

    tbh I am really sad that a post like this is allowed and I just wish I knew where you were to stop this!

    You wait till your a parent you will really understand the consequences of your actions!

    When a whole group is bullying the is usually one or two instigators, the rest just follows like scared sheep. They believe that if they don't follow everyone will turn on them instead.
    If you report the instigators to the head teacher they will get some form of punishment and hopefully that'll be the end of it.

    I don't know what to say OP, what you've said just sounds totally off the wall. I don't understand how this is a PI for you as you haven't actually shown any regret or concern. Rather it just seems that you've proudly rolled off your tongue all the horrible things you've and said to this poor chap. Quite frankly I can't take you seriously, especially given the below quote;
