I choose Down Syndrome as my project, because I am facinating with kids with ALL types of disabilities, and of course because I have a sister with DS.
It's important for me to project the importance of acceptance, equality, and respect among each other! Now, don't get me wrong you might not be one of those people that disrespect human beins that bare with D.S. But unfortantly theres many people out there that do! They treat them basically as "alliens". They might not want to have one around them because their IGNORANT self think it might be contagious.

That's what I've heard many times when I was in middle school. It sad but it's reality. Yes we shouldn't have to listen to what others say and let that affect us but you don't understand how impossible that seems, when your own sister has D.S. Knowing that people that say STUPID things like that, referring to one of yours, is indignating and frustrating. But we have to be true to ourselfs, there's a lot of heartless people out there. One day, not by you or me but by God, They'll receive their punishment for pointing fingers!

About 1 in 800 babies is born with Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome affects anybody, it's not herited. It's most common among woman who get pregnant when they are around 35 & up of age. The older the woman the more high chances of having a child with Down Syndrome. Young woman can have babies with Down Syndrome. Most woman blame theirselfs but there no reason why to. God just decided to bless your blessing. You can get mild DS which means is not as bad as it may seem but in cases there is severe DS. Thats were you would see children in wheel chairs, deformity, or anger management problems.
