Bullies bully.

I found this quote at Shiyun's blog. 

I think people bully others because they want others to think that they are powerful and strong. They want to let others know that they are weak and they are not able to hurt them. I think people also bully others because they feel bad about themselves, so they hurt others instead to make themselves feel better. Bullies don't want to look weak and in the inside they feel that they are below everyone, ..."

This quote of Shiyun can relate to the ASTI Constitution. In one of the rules it says that we have to treat everyone equally, so it means that we should not bully one another. Shiyun’s quote is relatable to the constitution by not bullying one another. By explaining her quote, people bully one another because they do not want to show their true feelings, so they demonstrate it in terrible actions. Bullies also bully not just because of how they are feeling, but also to make other people feel awful about them-selves. This happens mostly to people that are innocent because they are an easy to target. For example, if you are student that does well in school and suddenly an another student makes fun about something that you did not do, soon enough, the entire class well mock and laugh at you. Bullies do this because they want a special type of attention from their fellow peers. It is the easiest way for them to express of how they are feeling and to think that they are superior of all their classmates. This reconnects to our ASTI Constitution, of how we need to treat everyone fairly and think before you speak or act. By bullying a student or a person can make a big impact on a person’s personality. Like, when a student bully another kid, all the other student knows that the child has no manner and know that they have to be careful around the bully. That we need to think and before we act and that we need to speak up for yourself and others. This explains that we need to help the others that are being bullied and that we need to show we are confident enough to tell our leaders about bullies that are happening. We need to speak for ourselves and for others, that we could stop bullying in our areas. This is an ASTI Constitution: speak up for yourself and others, think before you speak or act, and accept others for who they are

My First Post. Odd Girl Out

Summer Homework Reflection #13: Odd Girl Out

I have never harassed anyone nor have I been bullied by other students, but I have seen a girl being bullied by other students. These group of children bullied this girl because she was always alone, know that she is weak and they mock because of her appearance. I felt sorry for my classmate, I wanted to help, but I just did not know how. At this point I had two options. One was to help the girl that was being bullied by the other students, and the second choice was to ignore what was going on and do not tell the teachers. I decided to choose the second choice because I did not want to get bullied if I told on them to the teachers. I regret what was my choice and now I want to explain why people bully each other. People or students bully each other because they think they are superior compared to others in their work or in school. They do this because they want attention from students, teachers, or co-workers. These people are just having trouble at home or from their past. They bully because they want their feels to be out but in an abusive or harassing manner. These kinds of people just need help in figuring out what is wrong with them. We should understand from their position that they are just troubled people, but we should also do something about it too. The people that have problems should talk to a relative, friend, or a psychiatrist and share what they are feeling so it would be let out and be left in the past and move on. People the bullies just need to forge about their past and move on with their life. Bullies change it is just their choice if they want to change or not.
