Harassment and bullying are in correlation because even though I was not teased or beat up I still had to deal with the constant snide remarks and groping from the boys who desired to do so. I plan to stop this form of bullying by helping people who are dealing with the same problems and giving them the confidence to stand up for themselves in a manner that wont result violently.I think this sets examples for 3 rules of the ASTI Constitution
1)Think before you speak and act
6)Speak for Yourself and Others
8) Take Responsibility of your actions
1) People, especially horny boys who don't think about the people they are harassing or hurting. I think that people in general should think before they speak or act because they can do something they may not realize later was hurtful. In Ianna's situation, the boys who harassed her did not think; their eyes spoke for them and caused them to act in a disapproving way- which leads to the 8th rule: Take responsibility of your actions. Many people such as bullies don't think about what they are doing when they are picking on someone who stands out to them. They do it because they feel they will get something out of it. People who harass feel like they are better than the person they are harassing. They find it a joke and do not know how the person being harassed is feeling. When Ianna says"I plan to stop this form of bullying by helping people who are dealing with the same problems and giving them the confidence to stand up for themselves in a manner that won't result violently", I find this inspiring. Not many people who are harassed are able to stand up to their bullies or be able to make them stop. If the person who is being harassed stands up to the harasser, then maybe the bullies will back off. This quote is good not just because its interesting, but this may inspire others to stand up before anything bad can happen.
