Yesterday in a family
discussion the words disable and retarded came up and my daughter was upset.
She said that many people use the word ‘RETARDED’ too freely and to her it is
worst than saying the ‘F’ word or other curse words. In most cases you can see
if someone is disabled, but in many cases you cannot tell if they are retarded —mentally
challenged. Some people use the word retarded for fun or in anger to their
friends and they don’t know if the other person/s around is mentally challenged.
It is hurtful.
I agreed with her. Be
respectful and not hurtful with your words. A wonderful safe day to you and
yours.
