FOREVER YOUNG

"...forever young... we wanna be forever young..."
know that song? no? too bad.

everyone wants to be forever young. never gets old and living each day with no worries.

little do they know, being forever young is not entirely good.

i have an autism sister. she got this dislexia and i think her doctor said that there's something wrong with her cromosome (i dont know what that is).
all i know is that she has more cromosome than we, normal people have.
this abnormalities make learning and acting normal hard for her. she doesnt grow up like any other girl.

so my sister is mentally forever young.

she cant do certain things by herself. someone has to help her (with a lot of patience) to do something. especially things related to school lessons. she goes to special school, and cant be treated based on her age.

she is 14 this year but she acts like an 8 years old girl. my parents used to blame themself for her abnormality. but then they realized that she is not a mistake, not a burden. she is a miracle.

even though she has this messy moods (just like mine multiplied by two), oftenly gets tantrum if she eats too much sugar, and will forever be a young girl, as her family we never once ashamed or burdened for having her.

she is difficult, she tests our patience everyday, she gets angry easily, she is my sister! the only sister i have.

i often sad because people dont understand her situation. she likes to play with little kids. but she is kind of big, taller than me, so people usually afraid of letting their kids playing with her. they are afraid she'll abuse them or something.

i always wanna scream into their earlobes
" my sister is harmless! she is special and she only wants to make friends!"

i wanna pull out their hair and slap them!!!

she can only grow old but not grow up. that is not her fault. she will forever be a young girl.

now, do you still wanna be forever young?
