I remember in 5th grade there was a girl who was a lot different and people made fun of her and stuff, but she was actually pretty nice. She invited everyone in our class of like 25 or so. 2 other people in our class went, one who was a big troublemaker but actually chill, and the other who was really nice to her and always partnered with her. There were a lot of people in our class who threw them away, and some that just couldn’t make it, but I couldn’t cause I had football, but I still went after. Our teacher talked to us as a class when she wasn’t there and she even cried. Felt so bad for her.
A couple years, this boy invited my son to his birthday party, which was on a Saturday. Well, Friday, my kid broke his arm and we couldn't get in to see the ortho until Monday, so he was basically on in a sling and on bed rest all weekend as to not further aggravate the injury. I texted this kids mom Friday night and let her know my son couldn't come to the party, and she dropped that this boy only invited my son-- the birthday boy is autistic, and even though he's a really great kid (I even like hanging out with him!) I guess most of the classmates treat him like crap. So, we ended up changing the plans that this boy could come over to my house, we rented a few movies, got pizza delivered, etc. So, this kid's birthday party ended up being the two of them hanging out on my couch playing minecraft and watching TV.
This reminds me of a party I had but no one showed up and instead of being a kid I was 17 and it was my graduation party. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with this kind of stuff ever again.
