Don’t Lose Your Humanity
He is only nine years old and has already started thinking about suicide. He is physically different from most people, and that was a reason that he was bullied and abused by his peers. The name of that boy is Quaden Bayles.
Quaden is a boy with dwarfism. That was the reason why the schoolchildren rejected him and were violent towards him. This went to the point that the boy on the video published by his mother with a purpose to raise awareness of school violence said crying:“I wish I could stab myself in my heart. I want someone to kill me.”
This heartbreaking video toured the whole world, and the boy received tremendous support from all sides. He has always dreamed of becoming a rugby star. He was invited to walk the stadium along with Australia’s rugby team between Queensland and New Zealand Maoris. His wish was fulfilled!
Quaden isn’t the only person who is “different.” There are all kinds of people on this Planet. But this isn’t a reason to be not accepted in society! On the contrary, we are all connected in some way. Where have some people lost their humanity?
Sometimes people aren’t aware that everyone’s life can change in a short time. A second is enough to change our lives from the root so that each of us can be categorized as “different.”
Instead of making life difficult for other people, we should make it easier. All the people who have lost their humanity, it would be a good idea to find her and help everyone who needs our help, including people who are “different.” Wouldn’t that be nice?
