Have you ever been part of a group of people who were unkind to one or some individuals? what was the circumstance? How did you act? What did you feel?
i have been a part of this kind of group before, and it was a few years back acually, when i was still in primary school.The class was split up into many groups of 4 as part of a group assignment we were supposed to do. For me, i was quite lucky to get 2 of my good friends in my group, but the last group member was someone who one of my friends had a slight dislike to. This guy was quite obese, and so whenever we needed to come together as a group to discuss the assignment, we would tease him about his size and not include him in some discussions. I was actually part of the group that was teasing him, but after a while of thinking i realized my mistakes and stopped.
I felt that it wasn't really right of us to tease him about his size, and so i decided to get my friends to stop too. Only after much reluctancy did my friends also agree to stop teasing him. I thought to myself that if we didn't constantly tease him, not only would he be less affected, we might even be able to get more things done with him for the assignment.
In the end, we worked together as a group, and we did excellent for the assignment, and that guy came to be one of my good friends.
