I don't know what just happened but when the guys said "my biggest achievement was getting a standing ovation graduating high school" i just like started crying, that is the sweetest thing
one of the kindest souls i ever met had down syndrome. when i was 6 years old i was involved in an accident that caused severe burns to my entire back and left arm. he was my freind. when i squeezed his hand as the nurse changed the bandages he didnt budge. when i was mean to him because i was in pain he did not hold it against me. it was him smiling saying its ok sara WE CAN DO THIS. that made me love him to pieces to this day i am proud to call him my "big brother" and my best friend
I never considered people with down syndrome different. My best friends brother has it and he is the most awesome person i know. He can spank you at video games or teach you something about world history. The dude has the biggest heart i've ever seen and the sharpest mind i've ever seen.
My aunt has Down's Syndrome and she has the best answer to anyone who asks what it means to have Down's Syndrome or being mentally handicapped - "It only means that you need a little help sometimes". And it's so true, they are so very much alike us, the same hopes and dreams, loving hearts and a big appetite for life!The only difference is that mentally handicapped people might need a little help from time to time. I've grown up and work with these people,and they are nothing less than fabulous!
Extremely good people right here. They have a heart and have no intention for violence these are some wonderful men and women who i have a lot of respect for and they should be treated no different from us. they are very capable of staying on a positive life path. im glad we have people like this
My youngest sis has Down's Syndrome. Seeing some of the comments on here from ignorant people is so sad. I'm so encouraged by this video though, thank you for making it.
Who is living a better life? I see happy people who actually work for their happiness. Love and care, and pride. And really know what they like! Life and happiness is earned. To disrespect a person who seems a little different is pathetic. We can all learn a lot from one another if we only cared to do so. I am inspired by the people in this video. You can't chose how you are born, but... You can chose how to live life. Thank You Very Much for this Video.
All these people on this video r just like everyone else I love to teach kids even though I'm 11 there exactly like all of us they still hav feeling they still have hearts!!!!
+E. Neeb Briated. If these people could rid the world of everyone with inperfections, if they succeeded, they'd turn on each other when no one else is left. I'm guessing that this guy is very angry about something. My guess is that he's been bullied or abused by parents. There's nothing people can't overcome with the right tools. I don't see how people like this can possibly make it in life and people like this contribute nothing to society, which trumps their rights to decide for others, what their worth is.
I feel for these people, especially because I know they're victims. Victims of corporate negligence, we're being constantly poisoned through foods and air.
Hi everyone you guys must not know what these people go through everyday these people are human beings just like you!!!! and they have feelings to. my best friend has downsyndrome and shes the sweetest most honest girl on earth!!!have a heart :) these people are amazing they are all alone they clean theyre house by them selves that is something that some of you probably cant do so take a minute and thin about that!!!
One of my closest childhood friends has Down Syndrome and let me tell you, she's the greatest thing that happened to me. She never lets any negativity get to her and she is a secretary in an office on the Boulevard and a teacher's assistant at a local school. Her zest for life and no-nonsense can-do attitude is what inspires me to not only be a better person, but to thrive and reach my goals. She's always been supportive to me and I can't thank her enough for having her in my life. All those saying hurtful things to people with Down Syndrome are nothing more than shallow people who really need to re-evaluate their morals and values because like it or not, we are all created in the image of our Creator. That being said, just like the message in the video, we are more alike than different.
I think that children are becoming more aware and the kids these days aren't bullied as much as they used to. People like me, who have been blessed with our body builds, beat those who bully those with disabilites. Instead, kids these days pick on those who are homosexual and different (of course I am still against this and will treat those bullies the same if they are found)
I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and I know people with down syndrome and they make me realize how good life really is. I never realized that people with down syndrome are so smart! I always thought they were mentally incapable but they are more alike than different. Being a sign language teacher is hard as it is. Somebody with a serious mental dissability doing that is unbelievable. I hate it when people call mentally disabled people retards, it makes me very sad.
I have a vision disability I go to a school where we have programs for people with disabilities regular kids go there it's a public school every year they chose kids with different disabilities to talk to the freshman to explain that we are just like them and yet we still get bullied people still make fun of the papers I use but its never going away we have a whole week dedicated to disabilities yet there are still kids who do these things to us there will always be someone who is going to make
ths es amazing . you guys ar an inspiration for others . dnt klet anythng get your way . also dnt let other peoples opinions get to you cause they dnt kno who you ar . you guys ar amazing && NOmatter what you guys hav a beautiful heart . X
My baby brother is going to be born in a couple of months and we found out yesterday he has Down's syndrome and at first I was so scared and worried for him but now I'm just so happy! Happy god decided to bless my family and I with such a special little baby. They're so sweet, cute and loveable. They're Angels ❤️
stop fooling yourself: your brother will be a burden on you and your family. Trust me, I've been there, he won't be a blessing but rather a curse. And have you thought about when he is a grown up and unable to leave home, have a family, go to college? Who will take care of him when your parents die? Will your future husband agree to marry you knowing that you will be your brother caregiver when your parents die? This video sugarcoats DS and you'll be lucky if your brother turns out to be high-functioning. Most DS people are not. Your life is going to change and not for the better. He won't remain a cute kid for life...I highly recommend you to ask your mother to abort as this will destroy your family.
+mila ur so fucked up u just let this guy walk over u .. Ur brother is ur brother ... DONT EVER LET PEOPLE SAY THAT OR TALK DOWN ON YOUR BROTHER DEFEND HIM AND BE THERE FOR HIM
+Darrick Hernandez I'm fucked up for letting someone walk over me? Jfc no one walked over me. I don't care about random people opinions, especially when I didn't ask for it. I love my brother so much and that's all I care about! I'm not going to argue w someone I don't even know, not going to waste my time lmao
People who've said that people with disabilities get treated better than those without them are misinformed and ignorant. Half of ALL violent crimes are acted out on people with disabilities! People with all forms of disability encounter extreme prejudice in the culture at large (like society actually practicing eugenics and aborting children like us), and in their personal lives. People with disabilities that affect their mental processing and acuity suffer a particular kind of abuse which is horrific...
This is an amazing and touching video... For those who just put rude comments about these people seriously have a problem and not to be mean but I hope you have a child like that so you can really know they are over everything people like everyone else
some of these comments are really awful. thank you for sharing this video. very touching. i will be sharing it with my class mates (i'm taking a course in working with children with exceptionalities)
"The system is set up to screen out people to get the best person for the job. E pluribus unum is our national motto for a reason. People are different and it is up to us to respect the differences if we are going to win together on this planet."
I'm on the autistic spectrum because I sort of have Asperger's. But my family never treated me like I had it and almost deny the fact..they call it "social anxiety"...so I'm in high school and I'm just now learning how to carry on a normal conversation with someone. I can't really see where these people are coming from because their physical appearance gives them away, but I know what it's like to be called a freak or weird. I only have a few close friends
I have a visual disability. NO ONE defines it or my quality of life. No one has the right to do that to anyone. The true "drains on society" are the smart people who have to have everything on their terms. a hundred years ago and well into the 20th century, blind people were, in some aspects, treated worse than slaves or free blacks. At least they had segregated cars. We had to ride in baggage cars. People used to see us as dead weight or helpless. To the guy making the outlandish comments, I could run circles around you any day of the week. They asked my husband, "How do you keep up with her?" He shook his head and said, "I don't even try." The value of a human being is NOT in the eye of the beholder. It is in the eye of the wise.
Five jobs ? I love this video, it really shows people with Down Syndrome in a positive light. Just living thier lives however they want independently, just like the rest of us. Like they say. "We are more alike than different". 👍👍
just curious, what was your experience like raising your kid with ds? could you describe the actualities (as opposed to hypothetical assertions) of your child's "life of suffering and ridicule"? i appreciate specificity :)
Agreed. In most instances I have witnessed people are way nicer to people with down syndrome than to other people without it. I've helped handicap people and I've worked with them as well. They get better treatment than the average person. They get away with more and people are less likely to be assholes to people with down syndrome because not only might they feel extra guilty, anybody who witnesses it will most likely kick their ass.
Some of these comments really piss me off! people need to stop their own stupidity by educating themselves. Im very proud of all of these people and it is true we are more alike than different so treat others the way you wish to be treated in life.
just curious; what is your perspective on evolution? do you typically apply adjectives like "broken" to genetic mutations (i am assuming that you are using the term "mutants" proper, and not as a synonym of "freaks" or the like)?
@rootiest I want a child thats as loving, caring, strong, beautiful, creative, loveable, and wonderful as these people have turned out to be. I think it would be an honor. Whether or not they have down syndrome doesnt matter I just want them to be as great as these people are. I hope you get what I'm saying. I would be happy if I had a kid as wonderful as any of them.
Fantastic Attending the Down Syndrome Congress rocked my world. Made me realize that there can be virtually no limits upon the possibilities for my son with Down Syndrome.
Awwwwwww see were all alike I have family that has down syndrome and they have jobs and friends and there the most happiest people ever I love u guys all of u!!!!!
i was watching the special peotry slam (look it up) and thought it was funny with my friends but when i watch this is like inspiring they really are more alike then diffrent
I don't make fun of people with down syndrome and I treat them differently than others because I respect them because I have to and they have a lot of confidence in themselves because they are human beings with feelings

I'm so glad I watched this. These people are remarkable. I respect them so much. God bless
Bless their souls. If we all had the same attitude on life the world would be amazing.
unbellievable.. truly amzing normal people.. nno different than anyone else
Thank you for sharing .. Our children may look different to others but we love them, no they are not different to us. Blessings from France

These people are innocent and they should be loved. Plain and Simple

keep up the good fight Shelley
RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because they are still alive, with emotions and dreams and in this time in history we can welcome them to live alongside us and be happy.
Beautiful people!
I feel for these people, especially because I know they're victims. Victims of corporate negligence, we're being constantly poisoned through foods and air.
God bless all the young people in this video. It was inspiring to watch.
I hope I am blessed with a child as great as these
I love them
You guys are awsome!!! Never forget it!

+Shaina Penguin You'd be singing a different tune if she was your sibling.You should try living with her 24/7...such a blessing!
Amazing video-will break some of the old stereotypes.
they are just like us treat them the same,people with down syndrome are amazing GOD BLESS THEM
I think that children are becoming more aware and the kids these days aren't bullied as much as they used to.

This makes me smile. :) So sweet!
Amazing. Truly amazing.
I think it is more useful to embrace diversity than to minimize differences.
They are so freaking amazing ♥ Beautiful. Strong. Perfect.
they seem to know more about love than most of us ever will.

people with down syndrome are more normal than people today! much much more respect for them
I am blessed with a brother with down syndrome and I would never ever in the universe wish for anything to be different about him. -3

"Having down syndrom doesn't stop me... I call it up syndrome" we need more "normal" people like this
Chris Burke has said the same thing. He said he has Up Syndrome. 😁

forget thumbs up button, WHERE is the HUG button?
I loved the "up syndrome". If I had one in my family, it would have changed it all, to the better.
very inspirational
Down syndrome people have what most normal people don't- a big heart! Bless them all!

My syndrome might be down but my hopes are up #brandon Rogers
U go Lloyd❤💪🙏
Brendon Ocansey Lloyd research💪🏾❤ for all the families dealing with Down syndrome n Lloyds
Absolutely nothing wrong with them; they are functional members of society. :)
i have a little brother with down syndrome and he is the most perfect happy child you will ever see
They are more perfect individuals than either you or I could ever hope to be (and i'm was a straight A student / prom queen)
Awesome people!!!
@rootiest I want a child thats as loving, caring, strong, beautiful, creative, loveable, and wonderful as these people have turned out to be. I think it would be an honor.

Down syndrome ppl especially kids are so pure they are the most angelic creatures in the hole world 😭
Honesty they shouldent be treated different, they give more respect top people with disabiltys then people without bull.
Fantastic
Attending the Down Syndrome Congress rocked my world. Made me realize that there can be virtually no limits upon the possibilities for my son with Down Syndrome.
i wanna give em a hug, thumbs up if you do too! god bless us all
How Did I Get Here From Hungry Pumkin Videos?

The lady on the hospital bed is my grandma
I'am one of these kids who grew up is tired getting mocked and teased. In my decision I like to be treated differently.
I think that everyone is special!
witch one are you ?
Lloyd is more alike than different please join us in the fight to preserve Lloyds life from euthanasia
They have beautiful eyes
Soary sirz.
I have mild mental retardation. These people's love of life is truly inspiring. Makes me want to crawl out of my hole of self-petty.
@dogmashine
I wasn't directing it towards the commenter... I was directing it to those in the video.
i was watching the special peotry slam (look it up) and thought it was funny with my friends but when i watch this is like inspiring they really are more alike then diffrent
i LOVE THIS :,)
omg, they speak so good!
These 26 people are so cold hearted ....
I don't make fun of people with down syndrome and I treat them differently than others because I respect them because I have to and they have a lot of confidence in themselves because they are human beings with feelings
@XCutePupa That's the point. Alike doesn't mean "equal."
Awwww
you picked it up in broad daylight and you scratched it!
badass
