"students insult each other and commonly gang up and pick on a few victims. many of the insults bully victims experience are based on thier race, religion, apperince, character and advances in education (where "nerd" came from). the insults and harm the victim experiences (joke or not) can cause some negitive effects such as depresion, anger, and if worst comes to worse, the victim could experience the temptation of commiting suicide. i confess i have bullied others in the past.i wanted to join the laughter so i would tag along, though when it went beond limits i would try to chill it down."When i read this portion of Jasiu's blog, our ASTI constitution came to mind, specifically numbers two, three, and four: 'Include, don't exclude'; 'Accept others for who they are'; and 'Speak up for yourself and others'. What Jasiu is stating in his blog is mostly out of personal experience. He has dealt on both sides of bullying, portraying both the bully and the victim. In his experiences, he points out how bullies go for people who are of different "race, religion, apperince, character and advances of education (sic)". Here is where the ASTI constition kicks in. Instead of keeping people out based on these reasons, people should instead take them in, get to know one another, and create a bond.
Jasiu also talks about how he made people suffer as well. When he seen what he had been doing, he thought it went "[beyond] limits [and] would try to chill down". Here, he spoke up for people even though he was doing the opposite at first. This is an example of how everyone not some, should follow the ASTI constitution because it fits everyone: bullies, former bullies, victims, etc. When people see someone who is trouble, they should stand up for them and speak up instead of letting that victim suffer. They wouldn't want to be in the same situation so why do nothing?
