Teasing, Humiliation, and Harassment are a part of teenager's life and should be accepted as just a part of growing up. I think that teasing, humiliation, and harassment are a big part of teenager's lives, but I don't think that it should just be accepted as part of growing up. There should be a stop to it. It shouldn't be aloud. Being teased, humiliated, and harassed can really bring someone down. It can make that person feel like they are no good, like they can't do anything, or like they don't even deserve to live. some bully could be teasing someone and telling them that they are not good at something that they are actually good at. So that person that is being teased might stop doing what he/she is good at or has fun doing.
ReplyDeleteI think most people stand up for what they think is right, wether or not others agree with it. A lot of people think something is wrong to do because they don't believe in it. They make groups of people who believe in it and call them gangs. I think gangs are just bad people doing bad stuff thinking its funny. Gangs are bad people. They do bad things that are wrong, but are good to them. Gangs are bad and people shouldn't join them. Some people join gangs just because they think they are cool
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think is right - I think that this is true. Some people just go with the flow and just deal with what they don't like. Lots of people are shy so they don't stand up for what they think is right. But other people they just go out there and say what they think is right even if it is really stupid. Lots of people have become famous for standing up for what they believe in. Martin Luther King is one of them. He died standing up for other people and what he thought was right. That was a bad man that shot him.

Peer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager
ReplyDelete-I think this is very true. Most kids don't want to do something bad, but people will make fun of them if they don't. So they do it anyway not thinking of what will happen to them. They feel like after they start doing it they can always do it. When they get in trouble they still will usually do it. They will not stop until they get there way with everything. So yes I think that peer pressure has a big influence. That is why I think they do it...
Peer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager. People can make their friends do something bad. Sometimes they can make them do something that nobody wants to do, just because they like to watch them get in trouble. What they don't know is that it could get them into serious trouble even if it sounds fun to do. If it's something really bad, they could get in trouble with the police, and both the people would get in trouble. Sometimes doing something fun doesn't have to involve getting in trouble. They could do something that everybody wants to do that isn't bad. I think that if they are truly a friend, then they wouldn't try to get somebody in trouble.
ReplyDeleteMost kids join gangs do it because they are bad kids and want other kids like them to join and get in trouble...........
ReplyDelete- I disagree with this. I think many kids join gangs because they think its cool. They want to get attention. Some will join because they are bad, but some its because of peer pressure. Most kids thou, I think they join because others say its cool and you will be only cool if your with them. Peer pressure can cause people to do bad things to make them want you to join. Some others are just bad so they will force you to do things. I also think that it is not a good idea to join gangs. People should try not to get involved with anything bad that would make them want to.
Peer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager. Some teens get pressured into drugs by their friends. Some teens get pressured into drinking by their friends. There are many ways that they do it. One way is to say its cool. A lot of kids actually try it just because of that. Some kids say that they will just try it and then they are doing it on a regular basis. This needs to stop.
ReplyDeletepeer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager. It has a big influence on teens because they are going through a lot. which makes them do bad or mean stuff because they are not even thinking about it. they are just doing stuff because it is like they are just acting and not thinking. It just seems as if nobody knows better. And teens are just under peer pressure, and then making bad choices. Then they will get in big trouble. Which puts them under more pressure
ReplyDeleteIt is more important to be part of the "group" than to be an individual
ReplyDeleteBeing an individual you are not going to have very many friends. You will not have a good grade most of the time. You don't do better on a basketball team. You don't do better in football. You don't do better in war my friends. We will always have groups. We will never have one man teams my friends. That is what I think about that
Most people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not others agree with them.
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think because they believe in one thing and they will not let others change their mind. They often are over confident. Most people often get frustrated with people like this because they often won't change their mind about things. People like this are hard to negotiate with because they often argue with people and talk over people. These people are often cocky because they get to confident with their believes. These are the type of people that usually live a good life because their opinions are usually good ones. These people tend to not be very sociable because they only believe in their way. These people are mostly leaders in society.
I think that it is important to be apart of a group instead of an individual because if your in a group you probably have friends. When you have friends you have more fun and your happier. If your in a group you do things and stay active instead of sit on the couch all day. People know you when you are in a group and if people know you they are nice to you. I think once people do something bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good is not true. Because people can change. They can get help and start doing the right stuff. But if they keep doing bad stuff people are going to see them as a bad person.
ReplyDeletePeer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager because people are usually forced to do things that they don't want to do. If u can't go through life without being pressured to do things it makes you feel sad. People today with drugs are being pressured to go to parties. They think it is ok now, but it ruins there whole life. People also feel pressured because of what there parents do. They think that have to be just like there parents with what they do and everything. People also think they have to be just like there siblings if they were successful if what they did, they aren't being there own individual
ReplyDeleteTeasing, humiliation and harassment are apart of a teenager's life and should be accepted as just part of growing up. It is a big part of a teenager's life, bug in a bad way. I don't think any body should accept it. It is a big part of growing up also. It is just preparing someone for being on their own. If this doesn't happen when they are teenagers they won't be ready for the real world. Being mean is wrong. I think it does help people but in a bad way. You shouldn't be mean to any body.
ReplyDeleteI think that peer pressure is a huge influence of teenagers actions. I think that it is because teens will think that they have to do what there friends want or they will be mad. In that case, peer pressure has a big toll on what teens do because they want to keep everybody happy. Teens want to make everybody happy even when it is not the right thing to do so I think that peer pressure is a bad influence. When put in peer pressure teens make really bad decisions that they probably didn't want to do. When teens are in peer pressure they tend to get in much trouble. That is what I think about peer pressure.

People that do bad things will never do something good again is a false statement I believe. People who do something bad have a lot of chances to make things right again. People that do bad things tend to get in trouble. When they are in trouble they also think about what they did wrong. Most people can turn there life around and do really good things for other people.
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not others agree with them. I think that that is a good idea to do even if they get made fun of or if people don't like it. Some people on the other hand go to far with it making it hurt other people and thinking it was a good idea. They don't understand that you can only go to a certain extent. One group that act bad are the gangs, they take things way to far. They get others to follow and make them do very bad things.

ReplyDeleteI believe that kids stand up for what they believe. They stand up for many things like religion, gang rules, and many other things. They think that some people stand up for that too. But a lot of people don't and back out. Lots of people feel like what they believe is what everyone should. You can't usually change they mind.They are to confident. They really don't listen to other people they just do what they want to do.
I agree with luke. Peer pressure will cause wrong choices. It makes some kids look bad when they aren't. Some people tho are making bad decisions on purpose so they are bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Payton Crilly. People should stand up for other people. Weather they are your friend or not. It's just the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteTeasing,Humiliation, and harassment are part of a teenagers life and should be accepted as just part of growing up. Okay, first to start teasing, humiliation, and harassment are all very wrong no matter what the other party does to you. It is definitely part of todays society, I would guess that it is a major problem at almost every school. I also think if you know someone who has been bullied or is feeling down. Then I would suggest try to be friends and encourage them. Show them that they really matter. No one likes to be teased. The bad thing bullies usually tease people for their own personal benefit. Just to feel better about themselves. If teasing doesn't stop then people will become scared
ReplyDeleteand become an " Outsider " who does bad things mainly to lash out because of what is going on inside of them.
I think the statement 'Once people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good.' Is both true and false. People who do something bad aren't really 'bad' they've just made bad choices that led to bad outcomes, such as being labelled 'bad'. The people who have done bad things usually end up being the people who end up being the people who do really good things. Like a man could steal for a living, but still be a really good father. On the other hand it's the people who are labelled as 'bad' who don't try to better themselves, and mess up their whole lives, because they are labelled 'bad' and stop caring, so they continue to mess up and continue to do bad things, so they continue to keep their label. So, I think it can go both ways.
ReplyDeleteI think teasing, humiliation, and harassment are a part of teenager's life and should be accepted as just a part of growing up because I don't think one person has grown up with out being teased, humiliated, or harassed. Even the people teasing someone else usually has someone teasing them also. You also don't have all control over teasing, humiliation, and harassment. You may have some control to stop it but you can't stop all of it. I think if you just accept that teasing, humiliation, and harassing are a part growing up then you can deal with it better because you know that you aren't the only one that is getting teased, humiliated, and harassed. If you know that others are getting teased, humiliated, and harassed then maybe you can talk with them about it and see how they deal with it. There is different types or ways that people get teased, humiliated, and harassed. There is also ways to deal with all of them.
ReplyDeleteOnce people do something really bad and are labeled "bad" they can not do anything good. I think that statement is false. Once you do something bad you can not take it back, but you can do something good to make up for some of it. People are not perfect. We are humans. We will make mistakes. So just because you do something bad does not mean you will always be labeled bad. You can always do something good!
ReplyDeleteOnce people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and wont ever do anything good.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on what kind of person he/she is. What would happen if you did something really bad but it was simply just a bad decision. I have heard of many stories that the people just made bad decisions. Some of them straighten out and others just keep repeating the same thing over and over again. On the other hand people that do things to make themselves look cool are making very wrong decisions. People that do that get into lots more trouble. Most of the time those kids do stupid stuff and get themselves hurt. I think it really depends on the person whether they will do something bad and fix it, or do something bad and stay bad.
Cole I agree with you. Peer pressure is a big part of a kids life. It could lead to bad choices. It could ruin there life.
ReplyDeleteOnce people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good. I think that when people do something bad, they are labeled as bad. Even if they do something bad, they still can change. When someone does something really bad, they can get into serious trouble. I think that when people get into trouble it's a good thing, because when they have time to actually think about what they did, then they will try to do better and do something good. But sometimes people don't change and do bad stuff all their life, then they are labeled as bad and won't do something good ever. Most people who are bad, usually grow up with bad stuff and bad people, because they don't know right from wrong when they were never taught the difference. I think that people who do something bad, can try to change if they really want to. But when people don't try then they can't do anything about the labels that other people give them.
ReplyDeletePeer pressure has a big influence on the thoughts and actions of teenagers.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is very true. Kids don't want to be the only one so they make people do things with them. Also kids don't want to be the only kids to not do something. A lot of kids these days do things with there friends. Peer pressure comes along a lot when they are doing something that they are not suppose to be doing. So the other person will pressure the other one into doing so. This happens all the time at parties. People will pressure there friends into having alcohol while under age.
Most people stand up for other people who are being harassed. I think that people should stand up for people more often. Mainly because you should think of you being in that situation. You wouldn't like it so neither do they. And they are just looking for some nice person to step in and stand up for them. Then put an end to bullying and harassment. Just because it is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteDustin I agree with you. Peer pressure is a big step in life. It could go good. It could also go bad. They may make wrong decisions.
ReplyDeleteIt is more important to be part of the "group" than to be an individual. I disagree with this statement because sometimes that group won't be there to help and if their not what would you do. Also sometimes you have to be a leader and not always a follower, you will have to make your own decisions. One good thing about the group is that there will be friends to help out at certain times of need. There is another good thing, you would be happier and possibly have more fun in your life. Sometimes they betray you, and you wouldn't have a place to go to feel good if you were completely attached
ReplyDeleteNate Jesse
Peer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager think that peer pressure is a huge influence of teenagers actions.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is because teens will think that they have to do what there friends want or they will be mad. In that case, peer pressure has a big toll on what teens do because they want to keep everybody happy. Teens want to make everybody happy even when it is not the right thing to do so I think that peer pressure is a bad influence. When put in peer pressure teens make really bad decisions that they probably didn't want to do. When teens are in peer pressure they tend to get in much trouble. That is what I think about peer pressure.
I agree with mallory. That once people are labeled as bad. They just stay bad. And I think that people should give other people a chance as people can change.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jason everyone should deserve a second chance. Because when some one does something bad at a young age they can fix it. They will learn to be more mature and think before they act. Everyone makes bad choices.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with dylan teamwork is always needed. To win a game you need to have people you can trust. Friends make your day seem better some times. It seems that people with good friends usually have better grades.
Most people stand up for what they think is right,
ReplyDeletewhether or not others agree with them or not
-I think it would be great if this was true. I don't really think there are actually that many people who stand up for themselves. Some people do, but lots of others don't. Sometimes people are shy or afraid to get laughed at by what they think. Lots of people just want to stay out of things and just agree with everybody else. I don't always stand up for what I think. I think people should because sometimes it can make a difference. If you have a different idea than your partner in a project and you don't speak up then they won't know your idea. It could be even better than your partners idea.
I agree with Colton,
ReplyDeleteTeasing, Humiliation, Harassment should stop. I could name a few bullying victims right now. I know for a fact that they don't like it and probably would like to fight back. It is just not fun from the victims side.
Once people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good- This is not true and I disagree. If someone does one thing bad it doesn't mean that they are bad forever unless they keep on doing bad things. If someone does something bad and then does a lot of good things after that they can earn back the title of being good. A person was bad in school and is good in college or after college doesn't mean that they keep on being who they were in the past. You have to see who people really are in the present and stop looking back into the past. If people keep on being bad that is when they are labelled "bad people". That is all I have to say.
ReplyDeleteMorgan T. Hurd
I disagree with Nate.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a good idea to stand up for what you think is right, but I think that most people don't. Most people will just go with what someone else thinks is right. Usually people with say that the person with the strongest point is right, even if they think something else is right. It is a better idea to stand up for what you believe in.
I disagree with Dylan.
I think it is good to have friends but you need to be an individual. Most of the time you will just go with what the rest of your group is don't. You won't always get to do everything that you want to do because your group doesn't want to do it or say it isn't cool. So I think that it is better to be a strong individual than a week group.
Dylan I think the same as you. People need to have friends. People with out friends are usually socially isolated. Being socially isolated can really hurt you when you become an adult.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Morgan, people shouldn't care about what other people want to say, if they want to stand up for something they believe in then they should learn to deal with it. Even if its something that is stupid and not so smart. People do have freedom of speech, and those who try to take it away from them, then they are the bad people.
ReplyDeletePeer Pressure
ReplyDeletePeer pressure effects a lot of people in the world because it causes people to do bad things. It also changes the way people look at you. Peer pressure can also help people to do better things. You parents are always put peer pressure on you because they want you to get better grades. They often turn out making big mistakes which leads to not being able to get jobs in the future. Peer pressure can be reversed on people because if your putting peer pressure on somebody you can get caught trying to force a kid to do something. Their are some people that don't even notice peer pressure when growing up because they are leaders. These are some of the people that put peer pressure on others.
I agree with Jordan. We are human. We will make mistakes. I think that more people deserve a second chance.
ReplyDeleteNate Jesse
I agree with Maddi. I think that most people join gangs and groups. Just so they can be in a group. Then they always pick on other people just so they don't get kicked out of the group.
ReplyDeletePeer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager. I think this statement is very true. Many teens make poor choices because of peer pressure. Many teens give in to peer pressure because they want to be accepted or they want to be popular. The person who is being pressured should not get all the blame. The person who is peer pressuring is not making good decisions either. They just want more people in there group, so they look cooler. There are more and more teens getting in trouble because of peer pressure.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cole. A lot of people think that what they believe in is what everyone should believe in. They think that doing something bad is right. Others think doing good things are right. And some beliefs aren't wrong or right.
ReplyDeleteMost kids who join gangs do it because they are bad kids and want other kids like them to join and get in trouble
ReplyDeleteI think they join gangs because they think they are cool or their friends are in a gang. Some kids join gangs because something happened in their life that hurt them. Like, a death in the family or a bad home. I think some are peer pressured into it too. I also think they join gangs is because they want revenge on some one and the people in the gang can help them. I think kids join because they want attention. I think some kids join because they feel like they power when they are in a gang. I also think that they join because they have no where else to go in their life.
Maddi I agree with you. A lot of people don't stand up for what they think is right. People are usually shy and do not express what they think about stuff. Also a lot of people follow others.
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not others agree with them.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. Let's just be honest, most people are too afraid of what other people might think if they did. If we all stood as individuals the world would be a lot different. Sure there might be a lot more war,but i also think that there would be a lot more peace. If we really stood up for ourselves, and what we thought was right we could really apply ourselves to the world more. If you don't speak up, you just make yourself and the rest of the world more miserable. If you don't stand up for what you think is right, whatever is wrong is gonna get worse, and if it gets worse and festers it's gonna suck a whole lot more. If people could honestly stand up for what they thought was right the world would be a better place and honestly i think history would be a whole lot different.
That is a good point Luke. People should stand up for others more often. They should think of the situation and say would I want help if that happened to me. I think if they thought more about others, there would be less bullying in the world
ReplyDeleteNate Jesse
I agree with Dylan because If you are in a group it can help you through life and school. Being in a group has almost no down-falls because the group can help you with homework. Having friends is very important because you will learn how to be more social. You will learn a lot by having friends.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jason.....
ReplyDeletePeople are usually hanging with friends when they get put under peer pressure. He is right, it can cause you to do bad things like pulling a really bad prank on someone or drinking at parties.
I agree with Maddi! I too think that kids join gangs because they want to be cool. I liked the statement she made about joining because people say you will not be cool if you don't join. That is way wrong
ReplyDeleteOnce people do something bad they are labeled as " bad" and will never do something good again.
ReplyDeleteThat is totally not right!! There is always a chance for anyone who has done something bad to do good again. Everybody makes mistakes and do bad things. It just depends on what you determine a " bad " thing is. I can tell you for a fact every single person on the planet does a " bad" thing every day whether your sneaking a cookie out of the cookie jar or committing a punishable crime. You have to believe that someone can turn their life around. Also if you help them on the way it will give them even more of an incentive to be better.
I agree with Maddi, most people don't stand up for themselves. I think that they don't because they are afraid of what people would say. Sometimes there are people who think that they're better than a lot of people and they make them feel bad by making fun of them. The people who get made fun of more likely won't speak up because they don't want that to keep happening.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jordan! The person being peer pressured should not be at fault, the one who peer pressured it. I also agree that it is becoming more common now. Bad things are happening now days because of peer pressured.
ReplyDeleteOnce people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good.
ReplyDeletei think this one is wrong because many people can do something bad but that doesnt mean they are bad kids its different if they do it many many times

Most people that join gangs. Are bad or they have friends in gang.
ReplyDeleteOr others join because they want attention. Or some people just want revenge and kill someone. Mostly they pressure them. Thats when the word Peer Pressure comes in. Maybe they don't want to join, but since their friends are in a gang. They don't want to get teased because their not.
Most kids who join gangs do it because they are bad kids and want other kids like them to join and get in trouble
ReplyDeletei think this one is true but also false just because they might of just been threw a rough life to make them choose that choice. Maybe there mom was a drug addict , mom left them , never met there parents , grew up in a foster home , or they had a brother pass away. They also could of followed there brother or sister that was into trouble all the time. Mayb they were bad and just did it , and did do wat this statement says
Once people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and wont ever do anything good.
ReplyDeleteI dont agree. I think that someone can do something bad and still do good later in life.
Alex Peterson
Most people stand up for what they think is right- I think is wrong because most people don't stand up for them self because the are afraid what people might think or say. Most people are bullied and harassed now days.So they might not want to stand up for them self because they might think that their going to get bullied more. Some people might just think its plain stupid to stand up for them self. Lots of people have there friends stand up for them or they just tell someone and the try standing up for them. Some people don't stand up for them self because they think "O i'm wrong it doesn't matter." It actually does matter because someday you might be the only one to get that answer right. Some people might think that their going to get made fun of if they get it wrong. Most people just say "O i got it wrong maybe i'll get it right next time." Some people just talk quite so that you cant hear them when they answer.
ReplyDeleteMost kids who join gangs do it because they are bad kids and want other kids like them to join and get in trouble
ReplyDeleteI think that the reason why girls, boys or anyone would join a gang is to fit in. But some people do it because they could be peer pressured into it. Teens that do and that aren't forced do because they think its cool. Or they would want to be in one maybe because maybe a family member has been in one before and looks real easy. And they might think that just because your in a gang people are gonna start to respect you but they cant just do that you have to earn it. Another possibility why a person would join a gang is because they might think they're life is already mest up. And have nothing to lose.
Most people stand up for themselves and for what's right. Mostly they don't they would rather do something thats not right, and be in the group then to be a loner. If your a loner they tease you and humiliate you, but it's going to happen sooner or later. Thats just part of growing up and they should just deal with it. Rather then to do whats wrong
ReplyDeletePeer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager
ReplyDeleteI think if you have enough pressure you will decide to join them.
Or sometimes they get forced into something.
Or they think its no big deal and join the gang.
They probably think it will be fun.
They want people to stop bothering him about it so he joins.
Peer pressure sometimes make you just say and join or something
It doesn't really mean there bad kids unless they continue doing bad things. Sometimes they want friends so they join
Manuel Harms
peer pressure is a big influence on teenagers thoughts and actions. A teenager can be forced to do something.you could get in big trouble for telling somebody to do something even tho it sounds fun to do.If Its something really bad you could get in big trouble with your parents and the police. I think it is a good thing when people get in trouble for there actions it gives them time to think about what they did and some times they change ,sometimes they just think its funny to get in trouble. If you have peer pressure you shouldn't let the people get in your way. Try to ignore it. Until you tell and adult about your situation.

It is more important to be part of the "group" than to be an individual.
ReplyDeleteTHis is not true because you are an individual. When you were born you were born an individual not as a group. So it is better to be different than to be the same as every body else. If you are a group you are not really your self you walk talk and look like them. So you should be an individual not have to be in a group. It is ok to be a group but you should be and individual not have to be a group. NOw you are your self you are not a group be and individual
if some one does something bad then that doesn't mean they are bad. it just means they made the wrong choice. its their choice if they want to change. some kids end up doing the right thing. others just stick with doing bad stuff. i think its wrong to bully and pressure people into doing things they don't want. some people just need a second chance. they are only bad if they keep on doing it.
ReplyDeletealex nevarez
-Once people do something really bad they are "labeled" as bad and won't ever do anything good.
ReplyDeleteThis statement is false!! Everyone should get a second chance. It also depends on the person who did something bad, if they want to straighten up or they might not.May be the person that did something bad had someone telling him to do it. He might of not wanted to be picked on by his friends for not doing what they told him. He might of also got peer pressure from then. Everyone has done something bad. No one is perfect. As much you think you are perfect you are not.
-Yazmin
I disagree with one you do something bad your marked for life.First of people can turn around.It might not have even been there fault they could have been pressured. People do things sometimes to cover up all the bad things that's happened in there life.Maybe they just made a huge mistake doesn't mean there bad. I don't know there's a tone of reasons why people do things.There people for heaven sakes.
ReplyDeletei agree with Lizi Tiffany 's statement
ReplyDeletelizi - I think the statement 'Once people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good.
i agree with her statement about what she said because people shouldn't be considered bad from one thing bad.
Its like saying if you got a detention your a bad student. So i agree that if you do one thing bad it doesn't mean your bad.
Some people stand up for them selfs.That is very true. People don't like to be bossed around. There their own person.They are independent. They don't follow the crowd people follow them. They don't take things from anyone when people tell them to stop screaming they just scream louder. Bless there hearts.
ReplyDeletePeer pressure is a huge influence on the thoughts and actions of a teenager- I agree with this. Most people get pressured into doing things they don't want to by friends.Some people get pressured into drugs or alcohol by their own friends. They thought that they were their friend and it turn out there just a bad person who wants you to do something your not ready for. If you get pressured into something just back out. Most people just go with it and if they get yelled at or caught they just deal with it. Sometimes peer pressure can be a big thing. Its not always something as alcohol sometimes its drugs. Peer pressure can be a bad thing so if they pressure you just forget it or leave it alone its not always a bad thing sometimes its good.
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not others agree with them
ReplyDeleteMost people don't stand up for them selfs because they are scared. They're scared of people disagreeing with them, and that it might be just them alone against a whole group. And that if they do disagree they think that they would be made fun of when no one is watching. Or that they could even get jumped by the people he disagreed with if it was something big. They could also have bad thoughts about them selfs for disagreeing. Like "wow I shouldn't have disagreed earlier with that group now they hate me". He/She could even think that the rest of the group or crowd would call him/her a "Hater" for disagreeing with them. And they will feel bad about them self and in the halls they might even be scared of confronting or seeing the other person or people.
Daniel Lopez
I agree with Maggie
ReplyDeletePeer Pressure is a big influence on most teens. When teens get in trouble for their actions. Hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes and won't do it again. When someone pressures you to do something just say no and walk away. Although it sounds fun and cool to do. In the your the one thats going to be paying for your actions. Not the person that told you too do it in the first place. So just ignore in the long run. You'll be glad you didn't do it
Peer pressure is a big thing now days its getting harder and harder to deny peer pressure. And I think peer pressure is getting to teenagers more since its they get it the most they usually give it out and bully other kids into it too.
ReplyDeletePeople are going to stand up for what they believe in and you may not like so you may want to stop it. Other people are scared of standing for a what they believe in and some people try make it harder for them by discouraging them.
Most people stand up for what they think is right,weather or not others agree with them.
ReplyDeleteI think people should. But most people don't. They just go with what others think. If people don't like you for who you really are then their not really your friends. I get why people just agree with others. But i think they should make their own statement to others.
Alex Peterson
I think,Teasing, humiliation, and harassment are a part of teenager's life and should be accepted as just a part of growing up.
ReplyDeleteThe reason someone joins a gang is to fit in.
Or have friends.
They don't want to get bullied so they join a gang.
They get tired of being made fun of so they join and make fun of other people. They like making fun of other people. Maybe they think its cool to join a gang. Or they like being in a group. Maybe they like embarrassing people.
Manuel Harms
most people are pressured into thing. they are pressured into gangs and doing drugs. peer pressure is being used by most people. its all about trying to get people to follow you. if people would listen to themselves then maybe stuff like this wouldn't happen. its just the fear of getting hurt or them doing something bad to you. people just have to make the right choice. that way they can stay out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteAlex Nevarez
I agree with Kendra when she said some people do these things for attention and stuff. I also disagree with Kendra because not all people are like that.Some people lead groups instead of following them. Some people are brighter than the rest.Some people not so bright.
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not others agree with them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this statement. That if you believe in some thing you stand up for it. There is no reason that you should not stand up for what u agree in.You would you not stand up for your belief or whats right.If you don't stand for it it will not be herd no one will now. If no one stands up no one will now your thoughts or feelings that you thin.If you don't stand up for your thoughts no one will. So stand up for your own thoughts.
I agree with Jordan.....
ReplyDelete- When you do something bad you cant take it back. She is right you can always make up for it by doing something good because you don't have to be labeled bad.
I agree with what alex peterson that you should stand up for what you say and do. This statement is true that you should stand up for your beliefs. If you don't stand for your beliefs they will not be herd.If you don't stand up no one will for your own opinion
ReplyDeleteI agree with Payton's first comment. People should stand up for what they believe in. But they do get frustrating when they wont't listen to you or change their mind about anything. They are very hard to negotiate with also
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maddi! Kids join because they think its cool and its not. I like how she said they join for attention. I don't think kids should join either.
ReplyDeleteBryan, I agree with you I think that people should let what they think known. If they didn't let people know and it is good it may never be found. Great topic to choose.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maggie.Don't give into per pressure. No made how hard it is.It's just going to get you into trouble. The more risky it is the more trouble you can get into.
ReplyDeleteI agree with mason. Most people should stand up for what they think is right whether or not that people like it or not. Some people may not understand but there is always a reason to what people try to stand up for. Their always someone to judge you or to criticize your work but sometimes we just have to ignore it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alex n.. People are pressured into drugs. The gangs around town. The achohol and all sorts of crud.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Bryan said.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe in something you should stand up for it. If you don't say what you believe or think no one will know what you think or believe. What if you think that you know the answer to a question in class. You may be the only one in the class that has the question right. So if you don't say the answer the class won't know it.
I agree with Melissa.
ReplyDeletePeople should stand up for themselves and not take stuff from other people. Some people don't they just hide and wait for other people to stand up for them. They don't like being harassed. Their not going to either. There their own person.
I agree with you Jason Hess People are usually hanging out with friends. He is right. It can cause you to do bad things like smoke or chew tobacco because other people are forcing you to do it, but i also disagree because they can also force you to do good things too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alex nevarez .That there is people that are pressured in to drugs and such. This is a result of there peers that pressure them in to it. Yes pressure dose exist and it dose happen
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Ben. People may do stuff wrong but that does not mean they are labeled bad forever. They will have chance to get back and be good. Teens do bad stuff but that don't mean that they are bad forever.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sydney. Most people don't join gains because there bad they join them because they have no where else to go. There are multiple reason people do the things they do. Some for fun some covering things up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex Nevarez! People should get a second chance. I like how he said they are only bad if they keep doing bad things. They just made a wrong choice. They also get peer pressured into doing wrong things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Morgan! I think that many people should stand up for what they believe, even though sometimes it is stupid. This is a free country. People need to say what they believe!
ReplyDeleteBryan I agree with you also. I think people need to stand up for what they believe in and do what they think is wright. People should also be able to think for themselves. But you have to know that whatever your standing up for is legal.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ben that when somebody dose something bad they are not bad all the time. Just because they did one thing dos't mean they are bad now. If you do something you are not automatically bad. You can still good things you will not be bad your hole life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Madison. Peer pressure is bad. Many teens fall into it and that's not good. Just try to keep away like she said.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dante. Peer pressure is growing in our world today. Many more teens are making poor decisions because of peer pressure. If they don't give in they get bullied, so they are just trying to fit in.
ReplyDeletei agree with Dante. Peer pressure is hard to deny. Also kids have peer pressuring there friends to do stuff. Kids need to know when to just say no though
ReplyDeleteI agree with manuel's story because a lot of kids that would join gangs might be the ones that want friends. Or they could also get pressured into one. And the people that are doing the pressuring wont stop. Even if the victim tells them to stop. So they could end up joining a gang because of the fault of others that pressured him. Or sometimes they would also get threatened, like the person doing the pressuring could threaten by saying something like "Hey kid if you don't join my gang then i'm gonna have to give you a beating". Or something mucho worse that'll get him to join. And do bad things.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Lopez
I agree with daniel people stand up to what they think is right.
ReplyDeleteGangs have different rules and things they do.
People join gangs sometimes because they think its right to do what ever they do. Or they see that it looks easy. Or there friends go in it so they join.
Manuel Harms
I agree with Morgan Hurd...
ReplyDeleteA lot of people do stand up for themselves and for what they believe, but others don't their too scared that people are going to judge them. Some people don't really care. People should stand up for what they believe and not care. Me personally I would stand up for what I believe. People shouldn't judge others. They have different opinions.
I disagree with Alex Peterson because most people don't think what others think to copy them. They think of something and then it turns out being what others are thinking. I also agree with you because some people copy what other people think also. I think that more people end up thinking the same stuff that other people are thinking, but people don't usually copy what others are thinking.
ReplyDeleteOnce people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with this. People may do bad things but that does not mean that they are bad for ever. Yes, they did bad stuff but that should get put behind them and let them have a fresh start. If they don't get a fresh start they may lash out. Then it causes them to get in even more trouble. Then they will get used to it and it will become a bad habit. That is why I disagree with that.
I think most people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not others agree with them. People stand up for their religion, their beliefs, their rules, and many other things. People that stand up for what they think is right may have people that agree with them but not always. I think that people who stand up for what they believe in are confident. People who stand up for what they think is right usually have good support of their decisions or beliefs. People who stand up for what they think is right comes from how they were raised. People who stand up for what they think is right usually don't change their minds about what they think is right very easily. People who stand up for what they think is right are known to the public.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maggie. You can always get into trouble by peer pressure. Some times peer pressure can make you try peer pressure on someone else. And the excuse, "My friends are doing it" is not a good one because your friends are dong it it is not always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteManuel I disagree with that. I believe that it is going to happen, but they can try to stop it if they really want to. They don't always have take that kind of stuff. They could just walk away.
ReplyDeleteNate Jesse
Some people take role and stand up for them self, and what they think is right.
ReplyDeletesome people are scared to be them self because of what other people think.
I think people should be them self it would bring out a lot of their personality and they way they feel about them self. I think the world would be different.. there would be a lot more peace. If you think you are anything close to this you better speak up if you don't you will make it harder on yourself. if u speak up it will get better if you don't it will get worse. If you don't want to tell the teacher tell somebody close to you like your friends
I agree with Ben: About if someone makes a mistake there labeled as bad that is false.
ReplyDeletePeople can get a label if people call him something.
If they do something over over again.
Then people will give him a label maybe.
I agree with Kendra. A lot of kids would rather stand with a group then them selfs. Because they are afraid of getting made fun. Or even getting bullied. And of course you would get humiliated for being by your self and not with the group.
ReplyDeleteTeasing, humiliation, and harassment are a part of teenager's life and should be accepted as just a part of growing up.
ReplyDeleteI agree that in a teenagers life there will be teasing, harassment. I disagree that they should accept it as a part of growing up. No one should be put through that. Someone that gets teased, harassed, and humiliated might feel that no one likes and and feels alone. The person causing her the pain but they won't know how she feels. She person thats being bullied could do something that she would regret later on. She might hurt herself and by the tell she gets help it could be too late. The point would be, yes we will grow up but no on should get harasses, humiliated, or teased.
-Yazmin
I agree with Yazmin. Maybe some people don't want to do something that people will call them bad. They can sometimes be pressured. It is not always there fault.
ReplyDeleteI agree with morgan.
ReplyDeletePeople should stand up for what they believe in. Do what they think is right not the other person .
Most people do go with the flow and deal with it. but some people get in trouble just going with the flow and following everybody around.
I agree with Dustin. People do need to be given a second chance. If not then it will just keep going on and they won't be able to stop it. People do bad things because theirs something wrong in their life. If nobody wants to help them then they think that they can't help themselves. They do need help and a second chance.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Maggie. People might not speak up because they are scared how the others will react. You also shouldn't be able to say what you think. It shouldn't matter to you what other people think because you are who your are.
ReplyDelete-Yazmin
per pressure is a huge influence on a teenagers thoughts and actions.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true. Most teenagers just give in when people try to get them to do something. But i think they should just say no and walk away. But they always end up doing whatever the others do. I think That it should change. Per pressure can change anything in your life. People can get you to do things that are illegal and you could lose your job, your house. You could get sent to jail.
Alex Peterson
i agree with dante
ReplyDeletePeer pressure is getting hard to deny. More and more teens are getting in trouble because of doing something your friends are doing. you don't always fallow those friends. you could follow different ones
I agree with Ben. People don't have to be labeled bad forever and they shouldn't be. Everybody does something bad in their life but just because they did one bad thing doesn't mean they are actually bad. Even people who have done a lot of bad things have the option to change. You shouldn't determine who a person is by one thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jensen. It is good for people that do bad stuff to get in trouble so they can stop and think about what they are doing. Maybe after getting in trouble a couple times it will help them learn doing bad things isn't good. They also might not change their ways of doing bad things. It's up to the person that does bad things to change their ways or they may never change.
ReplyDelete-Yazmin
People should stand up for what they believe in because if they don't everyone believes in different things. I think that in you believe if you believe strongly at something you should stand up for it. People otherwise get different ideas about things. Standing up for what you believe in is good to a certain extent. If you take it to the point where you are arrogant it isn't okay. If you are arrogant people have a hard time believe what you have to say. If you aren't arrogant, and are kind about it they will believe you. I think standing up for what you believe in is good.
ReplyDeleteMost people stand up for what they think is right, whether or not people agree with them. I think this is true in adults, but not in kids. Adults stand up for what they think is right. Adults aren't afraid to voice their opinion. Kids seem scared or something because usually what happens with kids is that they just say what their friends say so they aren't wrong. Kids follow what their friends pick so they can be cool. I think kids need to have their own opinion and not be laughed at for what they think. I think kids need to stick up for themselves better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Yazmin. Nobody should have to be harassed. If you are hanging with those kinds of people you need to get away fast. If you are bullying somebody you can hurt them mentally and physically. People need to stop the bullying and be nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with abby. If you believe in something you need to stand up for yourself. Everybody has different ideas, and other people need to understand that. Standing up for yourself is good. You also need to be nice about it.
ReplyDeleteI think that peer pressure does have an influence on kids. Kids get influenced to drink. They also get influenced to do drugs. People say it's cool to do this stuff. Some kids say no to these peer pressure incidents. Some other people say OK just this once. Then they keep doing the drugs. Peer pressure should stop.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ben. People don't have to be bad forever. People can change. Just because a person did bad things doesn't mean they are a bad person. You shouldn't judge a person by the things they have done they can still change.
ReplyDeletei agree with yazmin
ReplyDeletepeople would be scared to know how the others react. maybe the way they look, or smell. If you see that happening you should stop it.
I agree with melissa. Its good that they don't let other people boss them around. They stand up for themselves and thats a good thing. Another good thing if they stand up or themselves is that other kids might not bother them. If someone who bullies sees that they don't take anything from other kids, they might back down.
ReplyDelete-Yazmin
I do think that some people stand up for what is right. If no one stood up for what is right this world would be bad. If you believe in something you should stand up for it. You should not over believe though and get crazy about it. You shouldn't get crazy about it. If you start being annoying about it then it is bad. For the most part you should stand up for what is right.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Abby. I think that people should stand up for what they think is right, but their should be a limit to how far you take it to. It is good to let others know what you think is right because then people know what kind of person you are. If people don't stand up for what you think is right, then everybody would do the same thing as one another. You shouldn't be mean about it tho.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lizi Tiffany. Most people dont stand up. If they did it would be better.If people didnt stand up it wouldnt be the same. Lots of things would change.
ReplyDeleteI agree with yazmin. No one should have to go through that. No one should just be okay with being teased. No matter what people think they still should put up with it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zach. Its not just that they were bad kids. Something bad could have happened to them. Lots of different people have different things happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mallory. Some kids don't stand up in themselves. She is right adults aren't afraid to stand up for their opinions. She has a very good and true point that kids just agree with their friends.
ReplyDeleteI agree with maggie. She has a point that people don't stand up for their opinions because of other people. The world would probably be different if everyone stood up for themselves. People's personalities would be different.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dustin. A also disagree that when a person does a bad thing they never do a good thing. People should be given a fresh start when they mess up. I do not think that when one person does something bad they are bad forever.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Yazmin.
ReplyDeleteNo one should go through that stuff. It is not fun at all. People should accept others. Not bully and harass people.
I agree with Lizi
ReplyDeletePeople should stand up for what is right. It is true most people don't because they are scared about it. Some must believe they can change things if they stand up for their belief. If they think some one is wrong then they should confront them and stand up to them.
I agree with Abby. She is right. You can't go through life without going through peer pressure. Peer pressure influences a lot of thoughts and actions of different teens.
ReplyDeleteMorgan T. Hurd
I agree with Yazmin. I think that people should get a second chance. People can change after they do things wrong. I don't think that it is a fair statement to say if a person did something bad you should always call them bad. Everyone deserves a second chance.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dylan. He has a good point. If you want to be alone and an individual you will not have many friends. In a team sport you can't be an individual, you have to work together and be a team.
ReplyDeleteMorgan T. Hurd
I agree with Zach. Just because a person mad a bad choice it doesn't mean they are actually bad. They just could have been going through a rough time and that is the only way they new about how to handle the situation. Many people do bad things when they are going through a rough time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bryan. I think that it is okay to be in a group. You should also be your own individual. People should just go with what everyone else does because it could lead to some bad choices life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex P. He has a good point. If your friends think what you have to say and what you stand up for is stupid and they don't care, they aren't really your friends. I also think that people should balance out agreeing with people and making their own statements.
ReplyDeleteMorgan T. Hurd
I agree with Courtney. I think that teasing and humiliation is a big part of a teenagers life. I also agree with how she said no one has ever grown up with out it. Even though it is bad it is just a part of a teenagers life. You should also try to prevent it if possible.
ReplyDeletei agree with Lizi.
ReplyDeletePeople should stand up for what they believe. Not for what others believe. It doesn't really matter what others think.
alex p
I agree with bryan dicks People stand up for what they think is right.
ReplyDeleteBecause if you think thats right then you would do it.
So thats what they think thats why sometimes people join gangs.
Once people do something really bad they are labeled as "bad" and won't ever do anything good. I disagree because they may do something bad but they can still do something good in the future. everybody deserves a second chance. They could not mean to do it. people can change. They might be considered bad by some people, but other people may think it is good what they are doing. Many people dont know what to do in some situations.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Zach. Some kids are going though a rough time when they do something bad. Or they have decided to be bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree with mallory. It does depend on who the person is. I liked how you said how they are just trying to be cool, or they just make bad decisions.It does depend if they fix what they did or didn't.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sydney because people do think they are cool and join gangs. And sometimes maybe their friends make them join. Also sometimes something bad did happen in their life and they join because of that too.
ReplyDelete
