Grinds My Gear: Part 3

You know what really grind my gears?  When a person thinks its so funny to laugh at someone with mental retardation.  In sociology today we were learning about how they are recognized in the society, and this girl spoke up and said she was placed in a special ed class in fifth grade because of her own mental condition.  The kid next me actually started laughing!  Are you kidding me? can people me that rude? Really?  This girl was crying, and expressing a serious issue she felt comfertable sharing to the class even though it upset her!  And you laugh! Wow high schoolers are even less mature than 5 year olds sometimes.
