All about learning disability, bullying and hate crime.

MenCap are very worried about people with disabilities getting bullied, our concern goes out to both children, teenagers, adults, families and carers. Bullying can happen to anyone, whether you have learning disabilities or not. It can happen at any time, any place, anywhere and any age. Even strangers can bully you out the blue. At one time if people didn't know you, they didn't bother you. Someone would have to know you to bully you as far as society knew all those years ago, I guess it was rare. I guess we weren't aware of it like we are today.

We hope those days have gone, when you were seen and not heard. I think it's about time that our voices should be heard and understood, mainly the voices of people with learning disabilities because we find it hard to explain and even express ourselves. People need to give us time to do that's all. We need to be believed but we understand that proof is needed. If something bad has happened to us and we no choice but to keep it to ourselves that can cut us up for the rest of our lives, which could be quite dangerous. It could even be years before you are told or you don't believe us because we have been frightened to say anything. You would have either wondered why we didn't say anything or wished you would have believed us. I we understand that's there's only proof with cameras or if someone else sees what happens but that don’t always happen. This is why I think communication is so important for everyone. It doesn't do anyone any good to bottle it up inside themselves. A lot of people can start feeling depressed, may be moody or and have very bad behaviour problems if they don't feel free to say what they want.

Going by my experience when I was a child, it doesn't do children any good to not be able to use their voices either. In fact it's even worse for children than it is for adults. Many things children aren't allowed to know let alone say. Things happen to them that they shouldn't know about. How can they tell people if they don't know the words to explain themselves? Even though some things aren't right in one way in another not feeling as if you don't have the rights to say let alone know what's happened to you. I also understand how hard it is for adults to explain things to children anyway but mainly children with disabilities. Why is it when the only time anyone takes any notice is when the child is seen having a bad experience, nothing seems to be said, heard or believed if the child tries to tell someone on their own?

How unfair it is, that a child has to wait until teenage years or adulthood to tell somebody what happened they were a child, just because they never those things that were happening to them. Speaking from experiences that I have had as a child, I think society needs to find ways of educating child on what could but hopefully won't happen to them so they know how to tell someone if it does.

One tends to think that Sometimes that some things are better off not said at times. This can be because of the response we can get off people. I guess in cases it teaches us who we can talk to and who we can. There again you are either not heard enough or you’re not heard at all. The more I think been not heard or free to speak one's mind, the more I think it needs to improve, which I know takes a lot hard work. It's doesn't do anyone any good not to speak unless they don't want to tell.

I guess we will have to accept that we can't have everything the way we want. It can be very hard whether say anything or not, sometimes we can find it hard to know whether we are doing or saying the right or wrong things.

If you would like some websites, email addresses that will support to stop bullying and crime just let Men Cap or and myself know. Maybe I could give you phone numbers and even company contacts, Charity addresses, and etc, if you want them. I think may be counselling could be possible, if you would like that kind of support. You can easily contact MenCap or and myself if you want any contacts to places that do counselling. If our support isn't for you, we could keep trying until we find support that is. If you can support us in any way or and we can support you please email us on newletter@mencap.org.uk or and myself on Face book sarajgorman@gmail.com or my main email address Men cap's website is http://www.mencap.org.uk/ I to I support hopefully will be out there with Our Shout funded by Men cap in Wolverhampton. On the MenCap website there are lots of email addresses people have set up who work with a lot of issues, bullying and crime I think is one of them.

Going by my experience of being a child, it does not do for any child to bottle things up inside them. It's very important that adults take a lot more time than a lot of them do to listen to children. Voices must be heard a lot more. It's good better than it was but not good enough. When you have a disability a lot of people tend to get away with not listening to you. People with disabilities may not be able to make themselves understood, it could be hard for you to understand them or and even believe them.

One subject we all hate talking about is abuse. Why is that? Abuse is never really spoken about because it is not a nice subject but a lot of people bottle too long. When it does not get

Spoken about a lot of bad people get way with bad things they have done to harmless people mainly people with disabilities who find it very to explain what has happened. Many People with disabilities can have no choice but to bottle things because are frightened of not being listened the way they should. A lot of bad memories are stuck in your head waiting get out. People have nightmares, flashbacks and as a child you trying hard to work it how to tell an adult.

“It’s not something that children should not know." I used to get told as a child. Well abuse shouldn't have to children like need to happen to anyone whether they have a disability or not. How can any child make themselves understood by adult mainly children, teenagers and adults with a disability. Nothing worse something happening to you when you don't know what's have happened! It's bad enough knowing. If there's something on your mind you want to talk about sarajgorman@gmail.com.

I was bullied myself as a child, it happened all of my school life. I didn't receive any support other than off my family. I was bullied by a girl on my last school year. My Auntie had a word with her, she didn't touch me again. She didn't speak to me, I was relieved about that but it didn't stop other children doing it though. I used to hate going to school because I knew a bully or bullies would be just there waiting to bully me. I used to have nightmares, sleepless nights and dread going to school. If you or someone you know is going through same thing, you are welcome to contact us about that too. I would like to offer you support that I didn't get. So let's learn from a very dark past to bring a very bright future. BEAT THE BULLIES BEFORE THEY BEAT YOU.

I have thought about asking Men Cap, if I can set up an Anti - bullying website with them, which gives you a chance to email us, tell us your stories and experiences about bullying, crime and many other things. If you can support us to support others that will be a great help too. You may well be supporting someone with learning disability; we could support you to support them.

MORE ABOUT BULLYING

A lot of people say that there only seems to be non - disabled people bullying people with learning disabilities. In my experience that's not true. I had only been to one main stream school and three special schools. I have found that you can be bullied whether you have a disability or not by either people with or without disabilities. I guess when you are a child, you don't understand right from wrong, it's hard to understand how others feel. For eg; people with disabilities should understand one an other's disability not pick on each other's disability, we must be aware of that. There needs to be more education to not to bully. The most common bullying is over race, beliefs disbelief's and choice. I think we all need to educate one another to understand and accepts one another. We are all human beings and we all have our own kind of feelings, why can't we respect that? Yes, when you have a disability, people should be educated to understand you in the easiest way as possible.

BULLYING DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN AT SCHOOL.
Whether you have a disability or not I would be interested to know whether or not you or people you know or knew people who were bullied people with and without a disability.
People used say school days are the best days of your life not in the case of being bullied.
A lot of people think that bullying just happens in school. People used to tell me that these people will change when they grow up. I have only seen one person who bullied me in school, I know she hasn't changed. Having said that with some people it's very hard to tell.
Bullying can happen in the workplace, college, streets, pubs; anytime, anyplace and anywhere. Years ago I think we were only known about bullying schools by children but not by adults.
If you have a story about been bullied anywhere else years ago, that is another story I'd be interested to know about. So that you know that you aren't forced to send on your stories because I understand why you don't want to tell me or anyone else but I also understand why people may want to share them. You may well be an open person who wants to get things off your chest or you'd rather keep things private. Whichever I respect your wishes; I will keep things confidential, unless you say otherwise. That's my way of think; respecting people's wishes is a part of my job anyway.

WHY DO PEOPLE BULLY PEOPLE?
Some people may bully because they get bullied themselves, others have problems that make them angry enough to bullying and others are jealous of you. In some people's cases it could be all kinds of reasons, over nothing, someone just wants to be nasty and with other people it's just excuses to have it in for people.

OTHER IDEAS TO STOP BULLYING.

I have asked Men Cap if I can educate non - disabled people about disabilities and bullying. I have spoken to MenCap about doing education talks for people all ages whether they have disabilities or not. I'd like to give these talks to all places like schools, colleges and work placements. Mencap thinks it's a great idea when we have time to do these jobs because there are so many other jobs to do.

Like I said in my last report, I had been to one main stream and three special, I have experienced a lot bullying so that's what makes me want to talk mainstream and all special schools.
May be even people with disabilities need educating too, you'd think we'd understand because we have our own disabilities. We were never educated to understand one another, we had to learn ourselves. Let's teach young people what we had to learn by making our own mistakes. No one told us whether thing were right or wrong, we had find ourselves by where it was getting in life. Bullying doesn't get you anywhere neither does jealousy.

MenCap are grateful and agree to my help. If you have any comments or and ideas sarajgorman@gmail.com. You could even look for email address on the Mencap website if you like. For children the Mencap Stop Bullying website is http://www.dontsickit.org.uk/ if that isn't any help to you, just taps in something like Stop Bully support, could support with disabilities all ages. As you may have worked out the Mencap website is linked on to my website. We are also here to support you and we will be most thankful if you can support us.

 Chapter six Introducing Learning disability, Anti - bullying and Hate Crime.

Mencap are worried about people with LD getting bullied. Mencap's support goes out to the families and carers of LD as well as the people themselves. Bully and Hate Crime can happen all people but people with LD find it harder to report a crime. A crime either gets not believed or not told at all. When a is not reported or not believed bullies get away with it and carry on bullying, this isn't what we want. Bully and Hate crime affect lives but for people with LD and Mental Health problems we can become more and stressed than other people. In Mencap's Health research people with LD are 58 times likely to die before the age 50 than other people. As I said in my learning disability chapter stress is the worst killer of all.

I had only gone to one Main Stream school in my life and three Special schools. I was bullied at every school I went to. I was even known as the teacher’s pet, if I saw a member of staff around I'd walk around with them I found it hard to understand right from wrong, I found it hard to make myself understood, I found it hard to understand others their feelings. I faced school where children picked on one and other's disabilities. This is where children with LD need LD awareness too. This education and training needs to go out all people all ages in all places. What makes it hard today is a lack of punishment, which causes more crime in and out school. Many think schools are the only places that bullying takes place, that's not true. It can happen at home, college, work placements and etc. Many will bully people if they have been bullied themselves or and if they are going through stress they will take out on others. There's no excuse but then with today's credit crunch and things like that it's not uncommon. The most common bullying is over people's beliefs, disbelief, race, choices and control. We need more education and training to accept people's choices yet in some cases people have no choice it can be just the way we are or just the way things are. Jealously have always been the most common reasons for people to bully people and guess it always will. This is where there should be counselling for people who feel angry enough to take things out others in order to stop them taking it out on others. They may well be out there but then can depends on others helping themselves by getting that help.

In today's world there's not a lot to do for young people, which can make them because bullying and crime towards other people. Bullying is Hate Crime. With the cutbacks for example more and more jobs going and college courses cut back on courses so that means more people hanging around on the streets bothering harmless people.

People all have feelings we are all human beings. Why can we respect one another or keep away from one another?

People with LD should educate and train other people around LD awareness in all topics.

People who have been bullied are more than welcome to tell stories of been bullied if you want whether you have LD or not. Please email me on sarajgorman@gmail.com. There are many counselling services and charities you can find out about on the Internet today.

No one is force to tell their story my email addresses are their just you want to. You may well be an open person who likes to get things off your chest or you'd rather keep it inside yourself. It doesn't do you any good to keep things inside yourself but I respect your choice. I will keep things private if you tell me unless you want me to say anything to anyone.

It's important that adults take more time to listen to children mainly when they have LD. From childhood to adulthood is a long time to not be listened to. Voices to and understood so take more time. People with LD find it hard to make ourselves understood.

One subject we hate talking about is abuse but if we keep things inside ourselves it won't do us any good and a lot of abusers will carry on abusing. There must be loads of abusers and bullies who have never been caught because they know or sense that a lot of their victims have disabilities and Mental Health problems. It isn't just people with LD who are scared to report crime; crime is an upsetting experience for all people. As a child it can be hard to understand what's happened to you but be on your mind for life. Everyone has the rights to know what's happened to them. We shouldn't have to education children on unheard things but they should have every right to use their voice, otherwise it's not good for their minds.

People with LD are looked upon as slower as and weaker than other people. Our voices never seem to get heard but we never seem to get seen either that's why we aren't always believed. We shouldn't have to be scared of anyone no matter how old we are. We shouldn't have to be scared of telling anyone anything that we want to tell. In the eyes of the courts and law we aren't believed mostly. There's not a lot of money in the world to have cameras everywhere.

These things can make you feel ashamed and dirty even though it not your fault. Crime can affect your mind and your life. People can suffer stress, Anxiety, depression and etc you suffer flash back, nightmares or and sleepless nights. Even worse for people who suffer Epilepsy and panic attacks.

Most people with learning disabilities face bully and hate crime more than other people. With having LD myself and having been bullied myself, very shocking bullying stories that happen to people with LD wouldn't surprise me to be true. Bullying and hate crime is the topic of learning disability week in June 2011

All Mencaps round the UK want to raise Learning Disability, Bullying and Hate Crime awareness. We want to cut down or even better stop crime. Life is hard as it is without bullying and crime. Most people with LD can't stick up for us.

Nine times out of ten bullying leads to crime. Not many people with LD know how to get help before it gets worse.

Not many people whether they have LD or not pulled through bullying and crime.

If you’re a soldier in the war if you pull through you are very often injured for life.

This can be the same as bullying and crime.

War can have an effect on the body and mind just like bullying and crime.

Most people with LD find it hard to make ourselves understood and believed.

Out of all bullying and crime abuse is the hardest thing to explain, understand or and believed mainly when you have LD. This is one of the caused to why bullies have got away with bully and crime. Nine out of ten times People with LD are the mostly are easy led because we get scared easy.

eg; of effects.

Bullying and crime can affect bodies, minds and lives. Behaviours and attitudes problems, bad memories can get people give flash backs, nightmares and even led people to taking their own lives if no one there's not any or enough help.

Bullying and crime can have big affects everyday lives mostly when you have to face your bully a lot.

People with LD understand that it doesn't just happen to people with LD.

People with LD find harder to tell people what happened.

This is why people with LD are misunderstood and disbelieved the most.

What makes it harder is that a crime isn't being lived unless it's seen.

No one lies when they have been through bullying and crime.

When we are not understood nothing gets done.

Bully's get away with what they have done.

There's nothing worse than been scared to do what you want.

Instead of having to be scared of bully's.

Why do all human beings have to live our lives in fear of bullying and crime?

To find out how many people with LD face bullying and hate crime in the UK, type Mencap in your search engine.WWW.mencap.org.uk or the Mencap website is linked on to my website.

Why don't people report bullying and hate crime?

Bully and crime is hard to report anyway but if you have LD it's even harder. For eg; when I told the teacher in school I was bullied by the same children even harder.

I was called teacher's pet and everything.

Some things you go through are hard to explain and also very upsetting.

Like I said about the bullies you can be scared of getting hurt again by the same people because you told the police, they didn't understand you.

The bullies will bully and laugh more if you have LD because they know you were disbelieved or and misunderstood or you didn't report it.

Not every bullying and crime is seen so it’s not always been leaved.

Bullying and crime can happen any time any place and anywhere.

Bullying mostly happens in schools.

Children only don't only have to set one another the same then it can set them off to bullying one.

A lot of people with LD find it hard to not let things get to us so things could be playing on our minds a lot longer for us than you

We may have cameras but not everywhere.

Mostly bullies only bully when you're not with anyone.

You can't always be with people.

We need to work harder to listen to people with LD. There could be too many bullies getting away with crime and bullying.

There hasn't been enough support for people with LD to report crimes.

There could be bullies who could have got away with bullying and crime for years.

These bullies could have bullied many people by now with and without LD.

They think that they can get away with it.

They will get away with bullying for life if we don't start listening to their victims.

Let's not let them get away with it any longer.

Let's work hard to stop new crimes and bullying scenes happening.

We should start being aware that these things do happen.

Take time to see that people with LD can say what they want to say rather than pushing us away.

Most people with learning disabilities will need support in court too.
