To the two teenage girls on the bus who were making fun of the way another girl was moving and walking. She is a friend of mine, in fact, I didn’t even realize she was on the bus until you two started pointing, laughing, and imitating her movements as she got off the bus. I hope you feel good about laughing at someone with a disability. Those movements you were imitating? Yeah those are actually physically painful for her, and she has that pain 24-7. The fact that she can walk at all is a fucking miracle and the result of years of careful physical therapy that only succeeded because of her strong will.
I really regret not calling you out on the spot but honestly, you kids are not even worth it. This girl has suffered through years of taunts and bullying much worse than what you two children could ever dish out and if you had any idea what she’s gone through you wouldn’t be laughing.
But the worse part is that you only had the guts to make fun of her once her back was turned and she was leaving, but in front of everyone else on the bus. You are the worst kind of cowardly mean-spirited attention-whoring scum alive. I sincerely hope that you two grow up, and grow out of being the terrible people that you apparently are. —Your Able-Bodied Privilege is Showing and it’s Ugly as Hell

Wayward children should be corrected on the spot.
“This girl has suffered through years of taunts and bullying much worse than what you two children could ever dish out…” I dunno, kids these days can be pretty fucking vicious when they want to be. In all seriousness, though, what happened to your friend was pretty shitty.
Don’t worry, OP — those asshats didn’t impress anyone on the bus like they had intended (kids like this do shit to look ‘cool’ and for no other reason — they’re a bunch of show off losers), I can guarantee it.
They’re the ones who looked like pathetic losers.
Anyone see that ‘magical goat’ anti binge drinking ad on tv? Too bad there wasn’t a ‘magical goat’ that would appear when these little shits open their mouthes and clout them upside the head.
I agree with pk…
Then again, you had every right to say something OP yet you didn’t. By not saying anything does that make you any better THAN said ass hats?? I wish more people would say something when the time arises. I do. I got sick of the hind sight is 20/20 bull shit. If they don’t like to hear what I tell them then they should shut the fuck up in the first place.
you know o.p., they could easily get put in the same condition, hint, hint.
I wonder if certain buses have certain passenger types, or if they are all full of asshats.
Don’t worry. Judging from their sense of dignity, they’ll both be fat, pregnant and getting fired from their third mcdonald’s job within the next two years.
Karma has a way of kicking the asses of fools like this.
