Abstract
There are significant numbers of disadvantaged bilingual students in rural areas of Turkey, such as Southeastern and Eastern Anatolia. These students face various problems, especially while acquiring Turkish as a second language. Each of the emerging problems represents a sad portrait. So much so that almost all of these portraits reflect some harsh truths in our faces. Revealing sad portraits is very important. Because most of these situations lead to irreparable results, the effects of the damage they cause cannot be erased. Purposes such as better explaining the distinction between looking and seeing, presenting the traumas and destructions inherent in this narrative, and revealing the realities and results boldly make the study meaningful. To achieve this aim, a literature review was conducted on disadvantaged bilingual students. Then, the studies on this subject were examined and the relevant information was revealed and evaluated. In this theoretical research, which is a first in the context of literature in Turkey, sad portraits representing disadvantaged bilingual students in rural areas are discussed. Sad portraits; absenteeism and early school leaving, child marriages, uninsured child labor, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, and academic failure. Each sad portrait causes serious problems in the long run.
