Level 99 I unfortunately have. But it’s how the poor little girl was raised. She is one of my old friends little sisters and unfortunately she wasn’t provided/cared for like she needed to be. She was raised with a love of violence and thought it was funny. I don’t doubt though that had she not been raised that way she would have been a lot different

My twin has Down syndrome, too! I sometimes wondered what it would be like if he didn't but now I'm grateful that he has made me so open minded and patient with anyone! But I never did question his differences either. I actually didn't think he was different because he was my normal.

@@s.a.7018 Many years ago, the 40's and the 50's...I believe the 60's people use to call them Mongoloids because of their features. Then it was said that we should NOT call them Mongoloids. We were told that it is OK to say Down's Syndrome. Now.....Too many picky people, people who are offended over everything.
Downs people are some of the sweetest and most stubborn people I know. I absolutely adore teaching them.

@@taramatkins9505 idk if you've done some research by now since this comment from 2 years ago. Some downs people are able to learn so many things and do it much better than some people. I know one person who was abit harsh(idk how to described in english since i dont speak english) due to their syndrome when we were kids but once they found special learning method, they were able to control their act much better than before. It is fascinating knowing they were so good at learning and just being a bunch of geniuses.

Instead of saying folks with Down syndrome? These are people. Jesus, it’s weird that you’re an educator
"It’s not about curing Down’s syndrome, it’s about helping people with Down’s syndrome live more independent, fulfilling lives" 🙌🏻❤️
This woman is one of the rare breeds of people. Loving, caring, and beautiful inside and out. Any chap would be lucky to marry her.

My twin brother passed away before we were born and not a day goes by.. (or an hour for that matter) where I don't think of him, and miss him so much it literally causes me chest pain.. I'm 30 years old, physically disabled and on disability. It makes me happy, to see someone like Julia, who loves and appreciates her twin, regard of his disability. So many people have twins and don't appreciate what they have.. I would love nothing more, than to have my twin brother, Chance, here with me.. ♥ God bless ♥

I came back to this video just to see how a real friend is like🥺
5:38 the kid in the ocean is literally me tho😂

Was it just me that couldnt stop laughing at the kid falling at 5:39
She’s such a beautiful human. Her actions made me emotional
She's AMAZING! So caring and compassionate.
This is so sweet!
This is the cutest, most inspirational and strong sibling bond I have ever seen💖
5:38 when everything's goin so well then u realize u have no food 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her love for his brother makes me want to cry...in a good way. Bless their hearts💕💕💛
Wht a loving sister...! GOD BLESS THEM BOTH
Literally crying 10 seconds in. These two twins are amazing.
One of the most kind and selfless acts I have ever watched truly moving
Oh my goodness! Her heart is so pure and I'm personally touched by how she is with her twin. I love it! A special bond like no other! 🖤🖤
This made me cry so heart warming, we need more stories like this shown in the media
What an amazing, compassionate and kind human she is.
Beautiful twin sibling relationship... that is so amazing
This moved me so much - I had tears throughout the entirety of this video.
They're one of the most loving families I've ever seen.
There’s so much genuine love and kindness from Michael. The world can learn a lot from him. Just watch. 🌎 ❤️
I took care of a boy with down syndrome for 3 years and he was the sweetest kid ever he couldn't speak either. I slowly had started to teach him sign language and it took him a while to learn but when he could spell out something he smiles the biggest and the cutest smile ever. But sadly he had open heart surgery about 5 years and did not make it I will always miss him. RIP Jake
My twin has pretty severe autism. My life would be completly saddened and drained without her; she brings so much joy into my life and practically taught me how to be accepting of all types of people. She’s amazing
My heart is so full watching this sister and brother. She is the epitome of an amazing soul. Wow.
she's so kind.. i'm literally tearing up..
She is such a kind, beautiful person❤️
i love her, every sibling should learn and take it from her
Julia is such a special and sweet girl to share such a special bond with her brother and look after him with tasks.
the energy between the two is so powerful that i started crying the second she kissed him on his forehead. they are definitely one soul in two different bodies.
No one has credited Julia as much as she needs she is an incredible woman for just knowing his needs let alone looking after him omg she is soooo talented you do not understand
personality-wise people with downs syndrome are a lot like very friendly dogs in the sense that they are very unjudging, caring, loyal but sensitive
Their bond is amazing, I honestly admire how much she loves him and cares for him. It's honestly heart warming 😍
Inspiring to see how strong the mother and the twin sister are. I nearly cry...
What an amazing set of siblings!
This is so sweet it actually made me cry.
She is so beautiful, loving and caring
I'm so happy for their bond! Beautiful to watch!

Such a pretty sister. Heart and physically. God bless u both
I have the same kind of relationship with one of my best friends who also has down syndrome. She finds it hard to talk, and I'm one of the only people outside her family who can understand her but she just always has a positive look on things and no matter who you are she will spread so much love and kindness and I feel so lucky to have someone in my life like her
This video just made me smile. It’s such a sweet video.
She's such a good sister. So so sweet to him.
