Quote that i found from another person and how it relates with the ASTI constitution

I found this quote from Vincent Liu's blog and I thought about how much it relates to one of the major rules of the ASTI constitution:
A time when I have been made harassed by a larger group was the time when I got a bad grade on a test while most of the people in my class got a good grade. The people that got a good grade went to me and start laughing at me because I got a bad grade while they did well.
                                                                                                            -Vincent Liu
This action of teasing a fellow classmate violates the rule of accepting others for who they are. Just because a person received one single bad grade on a test doesn't mean that the next test that he or she would fail again. Think about this: If the group of people that laughed at Vincent received terrible grades, would they would have wanted someone to laugh that them? Almost everyone would say no because it makes them feel bad. It is impolite to do such a thing. I said almost because some people don't care that they received it and let it fly bye. Instead I would sometimes say that someone laughing at someone else can inspire others and the victim to become better so that they are able to avoid the teasing next time. Accepting others for who they are is one of the rules in the ASTI Constitution as mentioned above but I think that accepting people for who they are should be followed everywhere. No one is ever the same in personality because everyone's culture is different. Especially in America, many immigrants come from all over the world. They have different religion, social class and even different manners. Just because people are different, doesn't mean that you are above the law so that you can tease them. Respect others and they will respect you.
