ASTI constitution

 i like this quote because it shows a lot of creativity. i found this quote on Vanessa
A lot of people think that the reason behind bullying others is because of insecurity and the want to make them feel better about themselves by making others feel so low. The truth behind it all is that it is just the way that girls act. It can also happen with boys, but with girls it is more common because drama comes naturally to us. Not all girls have insecurity issues.
 This quote relates to the ASTI constitution because it states that bullies have a reason for doing certain things to other people.That reason is to make them sevles feel better than others. The number one rule listed on the ASTI consisution is that we should always think before we say something. Normally a bully wont think about what he is about to say or that bully wont care about the other people's feeling and say it anyways.Another big rule on the ASTI constitution is to accept people for who they really are. That means not to juge someone because they are differnt than you. Normally a bully will pick on that person who seems to be a lot differnt than every one else.Thats because they are differnt and just because that may be true doesnt give that bully the right to talk about someone or to make fun of that person. The reason i think bullys are the way they are is because they dont feel good about them selves. When they dont feel good about them selves to make them selves feel better they just pick on others and make those other people feel low which makes the bully feel high. Even sometimes a bully might not no he or she is bulying others all the time but its up to that bully to change their self and not bully other people.

just kidding and ganging up

A time when I was apart of an alliance that made some one else feel bad was when I was in middle school. Some of the things we would do was make fun of how people dressed or if the weren’t good at a sport like football or basketball or even if they would get a good grade on a test. All of those reasons were seen as bad. This really made me feel bad and to this day I wish I never did the things I did in middle school. The reason I would do all of those mean hurtful things to people was because the system was either your with us (meaning the big bad group) or your on your own. If you were one of those people out there on your own that wasn’t good because that could mean you are the next person most likely to be made fun of. I did have the option of not joining bad people groups but I wanted to feel “safe” and not be the kid that gets picked on but instead be the one help picking on the other kid. I wish I could go back and make the choice of not joining that group of kids that picked on others because even if I might be one of those kids that might get picked on I would know that I was one less person contributing to the bully/bullies. The reason I thing people bully one another is because they are not safe with them selves. The other reason I think some people bully is because if you’re a bully you are the toughest person at your school so you don’t have to worry about someone else bullying you because you are the bully. What makes a bully want to hurt there peers I think is that have so much anger in them and it just builds up inside then so they have to take it out on some one ands its not likely to be a teacher so they take there anger out on there peers instead.
