Quote~ ASTI constitution

This quote I read from Janice Troung http://janicetruong01.blogspot.com/ had demonstrated the importance of the ASTI constitution.

When I was little I wasn't very popular. My friends would kick me and push me down the stairs. I never felt like I never fitted in anywhere in school. My sisters wouldn't let me play hide and seek with them, so I was left out. I kept wanting to play with them and never gave up trying. I think people mostly bully each other because they think that it is funny or it makes them feel strong and confident. Some people don't know that they are hurting there peers. They beat up and say rude things to make them feel stronger because they don't fight back. People don't say sorry because they don't think they need too.

In this quote, it had demonstrated that we need to have the ASTI constitution. In this quote, Janice had suffered many troubles like getting kicked or push down the stairs ,however in the ASTI constitution showed that we should include and not exclude. In the quote, Janice's friends were excluding her out that was why they kicked or pushed her down the stairs. Also in the quote Janice had also talked bout how her sisters wouldn't let her play with them and how she was left out. well in the ASTI constitution, it had been said that students should accept others for who they are. In ASTI, we shouldn't hurt other people's feelings just like how Janice's feelings were hurt because of being left out. I especially liked the quote where Janice said she will keep trying until they would play with her. Athough this wasn't the ASTI constitution however it is an example of to never give up.

i also believe that Janice or anyone else that is getting bullied  by anyone should speak up for themselves because there are always people that are bullied and you have to let the bully know how you feel truthfully. Also i find that the friends and sisters of janice should try to understand where janice is coming from and how she is feeling about being left out. This quote from janice is a very good way to let people understand that the ASTI constitution is very important and we need that constitution to create a good community!

Just Kidding Ganging Up

   One time, I had been harassed by this group of African American guy because they heard something wrong from this girl named Jamila who misheard me from our class where we were studying about colleges. They thought I teased about their race and how their African American race would be always ended to be at Laney College. The amount of African American guys that was threatening was about 8 people. They misunderstood me because I didn’t say that African Americans would all be in Laney College but I was saying that a lot of races would ended up being in Laney College because of their financial problems.


  The race of African Americans would particularly be offended because of the way they look and the way they talk and that could cause people to misunderstand them. They made me feel frightened because they were all holding a stick trying to threaten me. I thought they were going to attack or hurt me, so I started to tear. My options for this situation was to scream for help or just let them hurt me because there were no time for me to call police.


  There are a myriad of reason of why people would want to bully others. One reason for bullying others that they want to stand out from the crowd. For example, a guy always had been unpopular with no friends and people would just think he’s invisible, however if he starts bullying then he would drive lots of attentions. Another reason may be that the bully’s feelings were hurt or felt stereotyped. 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.
