Classmate response blog

This quote is from Grizzell's blog:
"One was to help the girl that was being bullied by the other students, and the second choice was to ignore what was going on and do not tell the teachers. I decided to choose the second choice because I did not want to get bullied if I told on them to the teachers. I regret what was my choice and now I want to explain why people bully each other. People or students bully each other because they think they are superior compared to others in their work or in school. They do this because they want attention from students, teachers, or co-workers."
          What Grizzell said about how bullies think they are superior and wants attention is true. The bullies have pride in themselves and they always think that they are better than the rest. Bullies harass others because they refuse to see the bullied as their equals. Bullies also want attention. They want everyone to know that they are the best. Their want of attention might be because of the lack of attention that they didn't receive from their parents or others. I agree with what Grizzell said on the second half of the paragraph. Bullies have many reasons and one reason might be because they want attention. Everyone needs attention or they will feel left out. Bullies are lonely because no one wants to be near them. They think that they gain attention but it makes people avoid them more. This is the reason why bullies continue to bully.
          I think that this relates to the ASTI constitution because of her regret that she mentioned. One of what the ASTI constitution said was, "Take responsibility for your actions and words." Grizzell regretted her decision of not helping the bullied girl. she could've helped her but she chose not to. She chose to walk away and ignore it. Grizzell felt responsible and thus her regretful feeling came to her. She felt bad for her decision and i think this relates because Grizzell might want to take the first choice if she ever did witness someone bullying others.
