Anxiety Anger The Bad Treatment Facing Dyslexic

19 Most participants [of a survey among dyslexic] reported that they had few or no friends as children, and that they were bullied frequently. The underachievers were less popular and had a lower social status in the class as compared to other children. Gunnel shows the comparison between dyslexic and normal person. The dyslexic has few friends because they always get bullied even though they have reached achievement. In Taube ’s study as cited in Gunnel, it is stated that even though the dyslexic has higher achievement than others, he or she is still not popular and has lower social status in the class rather than other normal students. Gunnel 2007: 32-33 supports Ridsdale and Casey about disability of dyslexia. He states, The dyslexia influences academic, rather than global self-esteem. The reading-disabled children revealed more emotional problems and considered themselves to be less competent scholastically than their peers. Most of children with dyslexia who commonly have difficulty in reading and writing tend to have difficulty in controlling their own emotion. They cannot control their emotion which cause problem that disturb their development. If it happens at school, their learning progress will be hampered and it can cause their competency become decreasing. Gunnel 2007: 33 maintains Svensson, Lundberg and Jacobson theories. He states, The high prevalence of reading and writing disabilities that were found in the study of juvenile delinquents seemed primarily to be related to social and cultural factors, home backgrounds, limited school attendance and poor self-esteem rather than to constitutional problems of a dyslexic nature. 20 Moreover according to studies by Syensson, Lundberg and Jacobson as cited by Gunnel, it shows that the cause that make dyslexics cannot read and write is because of the poor guidance from their own parents, society, and teachers. They tend to see dyslexics as the people who cannot do anything eventhough they are already taught. It is not caused by the natural limitation that dyslexics have. All of those factors, then, can also cause their poor self-esteem that trigger their inabillity in reading and writing which then, are seen as the social problem. People with dyslexia are often considered as weird and hyperactive. The reason why dyslexics are weird and hyperactive is their syndrome. They include hyperactive or daydreamer, lazy, and poor in vision, reading, spelling. They also cannot count in math, and make the right time management cannot focus. http:www.dyslexia.com April 9, 2015 Based on the studies above, it can be conclude that people who have syndrome of dyslexia commonly make many people do not feel comfortable.
