When a person is different from the rest, the students decided to ostracize him/her, let alone tease and mock him/her. I think this behaviour is not acceptable. Even though the person might be different from the rest, he is still your classmate, your friend, and a person living in the same world as you. With sympathy and care, I believe the child who is different can be friends with you and adapt to the changing environment. But still, biasness, prejudice and therefore discrimination cannot be totally exterminated from this wicked world. There will always be people who discriminate others. What we can do before we help others is to help ourselves, and listen to our moral values, and to treat other people equally.
The person who is different (Let's take Margot for example), has to try to fit into society for 'sympathy and care' to work. Although people around her may try to talk to her, she does not talk back and she expresses signs that she wants to be left alone. Margot should attempt at making friends with her classmates, and do things that they will be interested in.
The students have to learn how to sympathize with Margot/the person who is different and show care for him/her in order for her to fit into the society.
