Blog Response #1:"It was either shun or be shunned.The meaner you were to the "rejects" the more popular you became with the members of your clique."

This quote says to either pick on others or be picked on.It seems like sometimes the only way to be accepted into the "cool" group is to shun people.To be excluded from them is like being punched in the stomach twenty thousand times or falling off the highest cliff.It hurts but if there like that why would you want to be friends with them anyway?

I don't understand why people want to be friends with bullies.They know its wrong to pick on people who can't help what has happened to them.I think its wrong to shun people just for stupid things like what they look like on the outside.Its what that matters on the inside,thats what really matters.And when the bullies pick on the "outcasts",it sometimes leads to violence even physically.

I've this happen to my friend one time except it was only done with actions.So we were in class one day and we had some extra time and the so called "cool people" had already formed a group just talking.And when she went over there they would quiet down and then they would just move the group away and then it kept on basically the whole rest of the year.So we would just form a different group and talk.
