This is another reason why ignorance needs to be dealt with, in
sighted communities.
I was at a Taco Bell, 30 minutes away from my hometown.
There were two boys laughing at me, because of my blindness.
My brother got on to them, and they left me alone.
It's a shame, that people that don't know any better make fun of 
us,
when there's really nothing wrong with us.
Blessings, Joshua

 People do it all the time in my community, and I don't even know
 that they are doing it.
 I have no vision as of recently.  I can't tell when people are
 staring at me.  But I know-because my parents sometimes tell me
 that in restaurants, people stare at how I eat.
 What is more upsetting, though, is why aren't my parents doing
 anything about the staring, like telling them to stop? I wonder
 do these people even realize they are staring?
