Think before you act. As high school students, we know that we are responsiblity to what we did. Bully someone is not cool because if you know the feeling of getting bully, you won't do it any more. Be friendly and nice, a person could be one of your friend or one of your enermy.How this relates to the Constitution is already stated in the first sentence. "Think before you act." Which also just happens to be the 1st rule in the ASTI Constitution, "Think before you speak or act." Way to go Peter. Now, back to the topic, we know we are bullying, I am pretty sure we think about what we do even before our mouths start moving. And Peter is somewhat right in his quote; we never know whether or not the person we are bullying could turn out to be one of our friends... or enemies. Like Dick Cheney and the guy he shot. That guy was his friend. FRIEND. And what happened? He shot him in the face. Not to go off topic, but this kind of does relate to the Constitution. Number 5. and 7. 5: Assume positive intent, and 7:Strive to understand where other people are coming from; be empathetic. It's like the 'used so much it's now a cliche' :"Don't judge a book by its cover," of we just judge a person by what we see/hear, then we would never get good friends. "Be friendly and nice." That does get us through high school, but it does not hurt to throw in a little spice in sometimes. And I do not mean bullying, just by adding a little flair and creativity.....

People we never notice on TV and Movies
Kevin G Schmidt.
Remember that fat kid on Cheaper By The Dozen(1 and 2)? Yeah, that was him.
And for those of you that have been keeping up with him(not me) he plays Henry Griffin on Unnatural History in Cartoon Network.
Ian Harding
Mr.Fitz. Enough said. He was alsoon the episode of NCIS: LA "The Bank Job" playing the banker guy that was in on the robbery. He was also on Adventureland (that movie with Kristen Stewart) as the guy with curly hair that made a comment about the banana he won.
Thomas Fiss
Don't know him? Youtube him. Facebook him. Google him. :D He's a singer.
He was on Titanic. TITANIC. As the little boy with the yo-yo.
He was also in a few Broadway plays. And played Chip in that one play (the one that Nick Jonas also played).
If you have watched The Middlemen, he was in the episode with his former boyband, Varsity Fanclub.
Bobby Edner
He's hecka talented. He can dance, sing, AND act. Triple Threat.
I'm pretty sure we have all watched Spy Kids 3: Game Over. Remember those 3 kids that was with Junie? The one with glasses, the cool kid, and the tough one. He was the one with glasses. AND he sang with Alexa Vega in a song on the soundtrack.
He was also on the episode of The Middlemen with his boyband, Varsity Fanclub.
BTW. His sister is Ashley Edner. And he sang the Taco Bell Rap with the roosevelts. And the wierd guy who sang with him. Who I sware looks like that guy on My Favorite Highway.
Scott Porter
He is AMAZING. I love Scott Porter. Really talented.
He was the original Rex Racer in Speed Racer, he was in Bandslam as Ben Wheatly. He was also the rumored Captain America for the 2011 movie, but NO it goes to Chris Evans. He better get the part of Flash though.
That's not all. he played Jason Street on Friday Night Lights, but he left after Season 2 because Street moved for therapy for his legs. He should come back and see what happened between Lyla and Tim.
So far, this is what I've got. I know there are more out there.

Pretty Little Liars vs Huge
Pretty Little Liars(PLL). There are no other words to state how addicted we all are. Now we have to wait until January for the second part of Season 1. Whose summer finale ended with a giant cliffhanger.
Will Hanna die? Who stands in front of a car when they are about to get hit?!?
Well, Hanna does and her eyes are like (O.O)
Huge. Not so popular. They only have about 117,000 fans on Facebook, whereas PLL hasalmost 2 million.
Fat camp. One word to describe the setting.
Similar to PLL, there is the forbidden relationship between an authorative figure and a mere student/camper.
It is Mr.Fitz/Aria and George/Amber.
I have to admit, George is kind of well, odd. he stutters a lot. His figure compared to Amber's, not so great. Amber's not that big, but still bigger than George. There's also an age difference like Mr. Fitz and Aria.
Mr. Fitz and George are around the 24 age zone. Amber and Aria are around the 16/17 zone. That's a pretty big age zone.
Back to the real topic:
Huge doesn't get a lot of fans because people think that they are making fun of fat people. They are not. I think. They show them exercising, and that Jillian Michaels-inspired character you should be scared of.
PLL is all about the drama/suspense/mystery thing. Everyone likes that. Unnatural History is the same genre only not involving the mysterious "A." But that's for another time.
The real answer to why PLL is above Huge? That I do not know, but you can figure it out yourselves. The answer is right in front of you. Or you can google it.

Odd Girl Out
A time that I was part of an alliane was a few years ago. Part of a group that was enemies with another group. There were a lot of hate words spread around. Mostly becausethe other group was composed of the typical group, the ones we hate, yet want to be at the same time, the popular kids.
My reaction, or 'feeling' to this was a 50/50 split. I knew that what we said about the other group was hurtful, but I and the other people with me knew when to stop for what we did. The other half was bad because we did say some hurtful things, and some of the sayings we did reached it's limit, if that means saying hurtful words in the language the target is used to.
I had two options for this situation. I could either have left the group or stayed, but I stayed.
People bully each other because it makes them feel powerful and strong. It also makes them somewhat popular because,say, Person A knows something about Person B that no one else knows about, then everyone will want to know.
What makes people want to bully each other is sort of the same as why people do it. To go up one more rung on that ladder and one more step higher than everyone else.
