Why is it FYL? More like F Disabled Kid's Life! Except he can probably live out a happier, fuller life than our grief-stricken, insensitive OP here.

how is it insensitive? op didn't know and usually people who are born disabled aren't on crutches they're on a wheelchair.

As long as you didn't ask a fat girl "how far along she is" your in the clear.

feeling sorry and having pity for individuals with disabilities is exactly what limits them in our society! it's not their disability! it's our horrible intolerance to it! how would you feel if you were constantly pitied for having blue eyes? or brown hair? yes. it is the same thing! individuals with disabilities CAN and SHOULD function in our society the exact same way as any other human does! our schools our public facilities our attitude all limit these individuals! it's seriously bad! we should put these individuals in the center of our society and embrace any "difference" that exists! instead have empathy! not pity. OP don't feel sorry! don't feel bad! you were only doing what is natural! though i understand your frustration at not understanding the child's situation! it's society that has put you in this place.

Its not her fault. why the hell is the person on crutchtes if he/she was born like that!! they were lying. crutches are built for temporary injuries like a broken or sprianed leg! they were lying. dont fell bad :D

oh gawd, 68 gave a lecture that made my brain hurt very bad....

68 they let disabled kids in alll public places u fuckin retard

now is the proper time to break out in song about it

fucker

if you never ask questions you will never get anywhere in life. this was OPs lesson learned, and now op will probably be more careful when trying to strike up a convo with someone or asking them a question

It's not like OP intended for that to happen. Most people would assume someone on crutches (unless they are that special kind) with what appears to be a broken leg, would think they broke their leg! (That sounds kind of redundant...)

you sir (#2), are a ruhtard.

Fyl

it's not an f her life, it should be an fml for the kid. I don't think unknowingly asking questions should be an fml.

WTF why would he have crutches not a wheel chair

Maybe they couldn't afford to buy a wheel chair maybe spending all their money pleasing the kids wants and/or needs

My point exactly.

I'm not sure how to msg but here, hit me up on aim. sn youppl0

Exactly. I really doubt it was even a big deal. Being born with a diability like this I'm sure he was pretty used to questions like that.

6 beat me to it.

Haha sorry!

lol

I got the impression only one leg appeared damaged. By using crutches, their independence is also increased. Oh, and don't forget the mixed attitudes wheelchair users encounter.

My thoughts exactly.. and why would he have a cast on it? If he was born with a leg like that, then I'm sure the cast would do no good. Just saying. |still alive|

maybe it was a brace???

agreed

The kid could've easily replied with the same answer.

Exactly! Where is FML?

agreed
