ASTI constitution post

I found this quote very interesting. I got this by the blog post of Tram

    They are the creation of anger, loneliness, and neglect. The victims of so, are searching     for a battlefield to have a sense of recognition. Since they cannot find this attention at     home, they reign their power over where the weak and undeveloped are ample: school.

This quote relates to the ASTI constitution because it states that bullies have a reason for doing certain things to other people for their sole purpose of making themselves feel better. Our very first rule on the ASTI constitution is that we should always think before we speak or act. A bully does not think before they speak and they most certainly do not feel any remorse for any of the things they have done to hurt other people. Another one of our rules is to accept others for who they are. Bullies “they are the creation of anger, loneliness, and neglect,” and for that reason, they will judge a person without getting to know them first. They build up this sort of sense of loneliness and neglect in their victims because they feel as if they are not accepted by their peers. At last, another ASTI constitution rule is to understand where other people are coming from and to be empathetic. This quote states that when a victim of being a bully cannot find any more of this sort of attention elsewhere, they will direct all their rage and anger towards the people who they believe are weak. A bully is searching for attention and for that reason, they pick on “weak” students to get the attention of being “that mean kid” at school. A bully must learn to be empathetic to the people that they tease, make fun of and harass. A bully might not even realize that for the victim of their bullying, they might have other stuff that they must deal with outside of school.

Odd girl Out

While in elementary school, I have to admit that at one time or another, I was part of group or alliance that had made another group of girls feel like outcasts. I can say that I felt bad, but I think I would be lying. At the time, I really did not care, but now that I look back on it, I actually do feel bad for all the things we caused the other girls that we did not like to feel. I feel as if our behavior was really childish and now, it makes no sense that I and these other girls did that. We were really mean and did not consider the other girls feelings. I had many options in this situation. I could either have stopped or continued with it and I chose to end it after a while. 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. Their reasons for being mean towards another girl might actually just be the plain fact that they dislike them. Drama happens between girls really easily nowadays just by when someone says the wrong thing. If one girl is talking about another girl and they find out about it, the drama basically takes off from there. Nobody wants to be bullied, but in some cases, girls bring them on themselves when they start with the gossiping. This makes them not likeable and that is the reason for the bullying. A bully may want to hurt their peers simply for issues that they have with another girl. It might just be the anger that has been bottles up for a long time because they will have beef with some other person. In general, bullying is bad no matter what, but it really is just the way girls react to things nowadays.
