Because they're insecure with themselves, and feel "better" by being mean to people that have down syndromes.
people might make fun of them, of how they look.
well one thing for sure making friends. There are always people that are going to make fun of them and not see them as a regular person. But some may struggle in just daily life. Talking, understanding, and little things. I actually have a friend who has down syndrome but she is a wonderful person!
Although this condition contains the word "down," it's a person's name, not an emotion like "feeling down." It was named after John Langdon Down, who discovered this syndrome back in the 1860s. Down's syndrome (also called Down syndrome) is a form of mental retardation or intellectual delay; people who have it also look different (their face is shaped differently), and some have a speech impediment.Unfortunately, there are some cruel people who make fun of children who have this condition, and that certainly makes these kids feel bad. Children with Down's syndrome have all levels of disability-- some are only mildly delayed, speak understandably, go to school and get a job; while others are very much delayed and require help with almost everything they do throughout their life. But no child deserves to be teased and bullied: kids with Down's syndrome are often very sweet and affectionate and they hate it when people are cruel to them. So, yes some of them might suffer from low self esteem, but not from their condition-- from the fact that some people make fun of them for having it.
Down syndrome is when you have a trisomy of chromosome number 21. So that means they have 47 chromosomes. An older name for Down Syndrome is Mongolism. That was considered a racist term because it made fun of the features of people from Mongolia. Its use was dropped in 1965 after a delegate from Mongolia asked that the name be dropped as a medical term.
They do things like a typical child; they can do everything that a "normal" child can do.

It has been alleged that he made fun of classmates with Down's Syndrome while attendinghigh school.
Some people have such low self-esteem that they have to put other people down, or make fun of them, in a vain attempt to feel better about themselves.
Tell the people who are making fun of you that it is not your fault you have to wear them.
It's not nice. Remember the golden rule, treat others as you would have them treat you. In other words, if you make fun of Polish people you need to be OK with people making fun of you.
they make fun of his name not because it's not a good name but people think he's just not a good prisedent. i think people think that obama is too young to be a president and so they make fun of him.
