Consent and Respect Firstly, in mi opinion, people are not conscious about many situations that happen nowadays. In some cases, they don´t realize that they are bullied and forced to do something. They also participate in violent situations. They say unkind things and they defend other people. People don’t have the same interest so they shouldn’t be force to do anything if they don’t want to. If you are forced to do something they are being abused. Nobody can force you to do anything. But, some people don’t say “no” because they will look like fools or they will be excluded. This means that you don’t belong. In some cases, people don’t understand other people´s feelings and decisions and they should respect them. In addition, they have to ask you before doing something and they need your consent. If a person always says “yes” it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t ask first. Some people are victims of bullying for their physical appearance or their way of being. Even for their opinions or their thoughts. People who are bullied are unkind and aggressive. I consider that they should say their opinions in a good way and treat them in a kind way. Finally, when a person is unconscious you must help her or him. Be generous. To sum up, people have to respect each other. The way you treat other people shows a lot about you. You agree or you don’t with their way. Be kind, be respectful and be helpful! Martina Baliz, 5to A
