Standing Up For People

People may not realize it, but bystanders play a huge role in bullying. By not stepping in or telling someone about it, they are making the problem worse. A bystander intervening could stop someone from getting hurt, and even prevent bullying from happening in the future. If a bystander does not say or do anything about it, they are contributing to the issue. There are more bystanders than there are bullies, so it is their choice to help or hurt the situation.

If you saw someone being attacked by another person, either physically or verbally, would you step in and help out and try to stop the bully or would you stand by and let it happen? Not many people stop and think about this. Sometimes people bully to fit in, fearing if they don’t do what the ‘cool’ kids are doing they will be an outsider and then be left in the shoes of the one who is getting bullied. Bullying effects people all around the world and it is a very serious issue, but sadly not many people take it seriously.

Taking a stand, and fighting for what you believe will make you the winner of your life and an example to others. It shows loyalty, honor and trustworthiness. It proves you are not an easy person to break, and it states the importance of saying what is on your mind in order to make a change. Taking Beowulf as an example, he swore he would defeat Grendel even if it meant dying and having few people believing in him. As a result he was rewarded and trusted by his men since he proved how important it is to stand for what is right, no matter what the outcome might be. Taking a stand shows intelligence and the ability to form your own opinions, without being biased by third persons. It does not matter if it is only you against the world, as long

When dealing with a mental disability, whether it be taking care of, diagnosing, or simply knowing how to act and react to the disabled; it can be very nerve racking wondering if what you're doing is respectful, helpful, and correct. There are hundreds of different symptoms that may or may not present themselves in hundreds of mental disabilities and a thousand more combinations of those. Knowing just what handicap you’re dealing with is normally just a shot in the dark and the hope that you got it right on the first try. My shot in the dark for Lennie is Autism.

Throughout America’s history and even less than 100 years ago, people with disabilities (which can include epilepsy, cerebral palsy, developmental delays and various physical and mental impairments) have been excluded from society by their families and in institutions because they were seen as useless and very dependent. Since it may take time for those with disabilities to understand and adjust in daily life, it can cause frustration and hatred by those who feel superior because they are not living with disabilities.

When people see others getting bullied some go to their help, but others just watch. Running to the defense of someone or defending yourself is an act of justifiable force. I been bullied before and I know that it’s no laughing matter. I even helped some people getting bullied even though those people getting bullied were also bullying others I still helped them because it was the right thing to do. If people could learn to

Everybody is different. Must of us have our own personal beliefs and opinions. It is our beliefs that make us who we are and differentiate us from everybody else. However, we often step aside when it comes to standing up for what we believe in.

Imagine being at your locker and a kid across the hall was being pushed around by a group of big guys, would you just stand there and watch an innocent person being bullied or would you step in and stand up for him? Most teens are bystanders who witness bullying and don’t think to step in and break it up. Some people are too scared or just don’t care about what is happening and what they could have done to stop it. Being a bystander can be either good or bad depending on what they do. Most teens are bystanders who don’t do anything because they don’t want to get hurt or judged for it. Some teens do something because it is the right thing to do and they want to help. " In truth, as many as 25 percent of American schoolchildren continue to be

My cousin Lizzie was adopted as an infant and is just a year younger than me. Growing up together, I have noticed that when we go places people stare at her and treat her differently because of her Down Syndrome. Even some of the members of our own extended family are not accepting of her and she has been excluded from attending more formal family events due to her short stature, younger looking age, and sensitivity to noise and crowds. However, socially I know that she is not that different than me. Just like any teenage girl, she loves to get her hair and nails done, hang out with friends, and use technology to stay connected. I have fond childhood memories of Lizzie coming to my house in the summer and going to the park or hanging at the pool with me. Just like me, she has activities she is passionate about, such as theater and singing, and excels at these activities.

77% of children have been bullied making it very integral to terminate. My friend and I were sitting in our classroom at church when a few boys sitting behind us started making fun of my friend’s little brother. Not long after, the boy we least thought to, stood up for him. I know now that my friend has a

Many people get bullied theses days in school, and let's just say that it is not very healthy for the victim. Bullying could result in many bad things. The victim could think about slitting their wrists or killing themselves. This is why I would help Martha, because it could change their life.

“Fight for what you believe in.” It is important to stand up for yourself and other people because everyone in this world has a voice.

Why is it important to stand up for what is right? Improving the lives of all people is a goal everyone should strive for. Advocating for what is right is important, because it sets precedent for the future, expands and develops worldview, and give confidence to the vulnerable.

The message that author conveyed in the book is that to be brave enough to stand up for yourself and others . To be equal. skeeter was the first one in her town to acknowledge how bad things really were, and she was motivated to do something about using her passion for writing. It’s implied that the book changed some people's attitude in the town. I think that, just from examining skeeter, one message in the book was to take action in whatever way you can when you realize injustice. No matter how people are treated , or how dark the person life seem, there is hope and have faith and stand up for what’s what's important and to have courage to be a voice . Stand up as an individual can make a difference. One of the quote that i found in

My cousin has always been different. She and I have never physically been alike. I walk on two legs while she rolls on four wheels. I can turn the page of a book with my own fingers, she makes a noise and someone turns the page for her. I started to put these observations together when I was really little, around eight. I realized most people were more like me rather than Amanda. I had started to question why my cousin couldn’t do what I could do. I recently asked my mother why Amanda couldn’t walk. She told me Amanda has a few things that cause her condition. BLAH, Muscular Dystrophy, and Cerebral Palsy. Out of those three I had only heard about Cerebral Palsy.
