ASTI Constitution

As a result, bullying is not a person’s real personality. Found on Nawara Ahmed's Blog.


I had never really thought about bullying from this perspective, I realize that not everyone is a good person but bullying its self is not a trait someone is born with it is an acquired trait that happened because the bully had been tormented itself or uncomfortable and attempts to take it out on an other individual. The act of bullying is to preform a degrading action that is only done to make the victim feel uncomfortable with themselves or to hurt their feelings. Usually when this happens the victim either has a trait highly desired or has a trait that is foreign to the bully.


The ASTI constitution is in correlation with bullying because it was made to prevent it. The quote chosen incorporates all of what is expected from an ASTI student. The rules that tie into the quote the most is to be empathetic to others and to take responsibility for your words and actions. Doing such would enable others to resist the temptation of using their insecurities to make others feel bad. 


The first and second ASTI rules are to: Think before you act or speek and to not exclude anyone for any reason. These rules are necessary for a peaceful community because without prior thought there would not be any filter in what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Exclusion is also a problem because of how it makes the ones excluded feel and how the excluders be so oblivious to what they are doing.


Rules three through five are to accept others for who they are, build mutual trust and respect and to always assume a positive intent for any miscommunication or issue. These rules were made to make it easier to communicate without conflict from a superficial issue.


The last two (not already mentioned) are to make a positive impact on the pople and environment around you and to resolve a conflict peacefully. These rules were created so each person can be in a heathy environment and any conflict created can be solved by the people who are involved and peacefully.
