I decided to quote Jessica Chen

There are a myriad of reason of why people would want to bully others. An example may be that someone is hurt and they felt mad so they want to bully someone to let out their madness. The last reason may be that the bully had been bullied before so they want to become a bully and protect them. An example may be that a boy was very smart and was bullied because of his smartness and one day he got mad and sick of getting bullied so he decided to bully others. In conclusion, there are many reasons why people would bully each other and I had also experienced getting bullied. This is something that would be in people’s everyday lives.

I agree with everything Jennifer said. She made alot of points that were great. She gives many examples, that prove her point, and my point that bullying is caused for many diffrent reasons. ASTI is a very small school and becuase its a very small school there shouldn't be any bullying going on. I think that ASTI's constitution was made becuase the students didn't want o feel, put down, or bulllied. So they wrote a very strict constitution to protect themselves and there classmates. I noticed when I was reading the constitution it was really only talkin about making sure bullies dont hurt people.

This constituion makes me think that there has been a lot bullying and disctrimantion at ASTI. I agree that everything Jessica said is true. The bullying that was at ASTI should not continue. The bullying mmust have been really bad if the students created a whole comstitution about it. Bullying is really wrong and it shouldn't be done, whether your doing it or your just participationg in it its still wrong. But alot of times people don't realize that there bullying another person, so alot of times they can't stop what they're doing if they dont know it.

Me being bullied and people bullying me go hand and hand. There have been times when I’ve bullied people and other people have bullied me. But the one time I felt like I was being ganged up on, was when I was in the seventh grade. I know when reading my writing it seems like my seventh grade year was hell; and that people would through eggs at me all day. But in the seventh grade I thought every one there was my friend, and they really weren’t that’s what made my experience so horrible.

In seventh grade I went to a really small school with only thirty-six kids in the whole middle school and high school, nine students in my class, three other girls in my class, and nine middle school girls. I was really close too three people. But it seemed like every time I turned around they had something to say. It doesn’t really matter to me if people make fun of me, but when I trust someone and they think it’s a joke; so they spread rumors “lies” about me’ that’s not cool.

I remember another time when all girls in my grade ganged up on me, i felt so hurt; so when I told one of them to leave me alone and take accountability for her own actions. Then she began to cry; and then the whole school came at me crazy. Like I did something wrong, and for the rest of the day I didn’t talk to anyone but my friend Adjanai. After that situation I don’t really talk to anyone that’s in the same grade as me. I haven’t in over a year and probably won’t any time soon.

In both of those particular situations I didn’t have many choices, to ignore or leave. There wasn’t anywhere to leave to or anyone to ignore. It was so little of us everything I did I did with the same people who would be mean and horrible to me. My whole time in the seventh grade I only had one friend, and she was also getting bullied on as well. For the longest I swore those people were my friends but all along they really weren’t and I was too blinded to know that.

I think that people bully others to either 1) get attention 2) Out of spite 3) superiority 4) jealousy or 5) personal issues at home. I feel like when certain people get around others who don’t speak for themselves or are shy, they think that those kind of people are the kind of people they can control. So basically I think that people bully others, so they can control; because they get controlled themselves.
