Get past the stigma

By Letter to the Editor on June 20, 2018.

I have been thinking about stigma for awhile. We have kinds of stigma in our society against mental illness, developed delayed folks, people who look different from us, people who act different from us and people who take drugs.

I have been wondering who has the time for all this stigma in their lives it must take up a whole lot of time. You would think they would have something more productive to do. We always need more volunteers for something. I know when I hear something that sounds like stigma that the person just doesn’t have enough information or the wrong information. It is always best to get to know someone that is different from you, that way you can get rid of stigma.
