Victim

Words of a Victim As I tried to fight back my tears, faint cries are heard from the other room. My head is spinning with fear, I?m next. I pray for the safety of my mom. Soon enough I hear heavy footsteps pounding in my ears. Step by step getting louder, the door swings open. I hide under my sheets, staying quiet, not knowing what is going on. I feel the sheets lifting. It?s too late, it?s too late, and I?m found. Again and again his swinging his fist. Bruises everywhere, broken bones, open wounds. I instantly get a flash back; dad picking me up, whispering coldhearted shit. As usual I lay back thinking it was all going to end soon.

Discrimination is in itself a very broad subject. There is discrimination against certain races, religion and even gender. What about people with disabilities? They most definitely receive the worst of discrimination. Whether it be at home or at work, it is there. It is shown that approximately one-fifth of our country is affected with a disability, whether is be mental or physical. Two-thirds of these persons are under the age of sixty-five. The discrimination against the disabled is something that should either be rare or all together not here, but sadly it is. Even our own President Obama stated "his bowling is just as bad as the special Olympics".
