If there were no rules, da whole world would be a mess. everyone would try to do whatever they wanted to do an people wouldnt probably respect each others. For one thing rules tells people how to do basic stuffs in the world, like how to drive right, and without rules for somethin like driving, there would be wrecks and people would drive in yards and stuff. Rules also tells people what they can an cannot do like dont steal an dont hit people. Finaly, rules tells us how to treat other people, like show respect an stuff, an if we dont follow those rules, peoples feelins get hurt and stuff. So really, because rules tells us how to do stuff, what we cant do, an how to treat other peoples, if we didnt have them the world wouldnt be as good as it is now.

When someone picks on someone else i usual feel really bad for da person bein picked on an i tries to make the people who is pickin on someone (da bullies) stop pickin on that person. When somebody picks on sombody else, it usual just mean they feels bad bout theyselfs...they has low self esteems...so when they picks on someone else, they just tryin to make themselfs feel better by makin someone else feel bad. What they doesnt realize though is they dont looks like a better person by bein a bully. Really they just looks like a worser person. Pickin on someone else makes them look mean an hartless. I mostly feels bad for the person bein picked on because i has been picked on before an it really herted my feelings an made me feel like i was not worth a whole lot. Thats why when i sees someone bein picked one, i tries to make the bullies stop pickin on them. If the bullies wont stop pickin on the person, then i tries to step in an tells the perosn who is bein picked on that they shouldnt lissen to the bullies and that they is really a good person. If nothin else, even though i knows i shouldnt pick on peoples, i sometimes will pick on the bullies back so they knows what it feels like when someone bullies them...even though i;m not a bully.

my advice to a new student in our class would be to pay tention in class, take care of alla your works, and follow the six pillars of good character that we learns in class. it's important to pay tention in class because while we talks in class and while ms sehra talks, we learns what we spose to do for our work and we learn from each others. its also important to make sure you takes care of alla your works an assignments for class to shows teacher what you has learned in class. finaly its very very portant to live in class (an outside to really) by the six pillars of character because thats what our class is all about and livin by the six pillars will not only show peoples what kind of person you is but also be a good reflection to evryone else of what OSE is all about...bildin kids with good character. so, if a student is new in our class, i would tell them to pay tention in class, take care of alla yer work an follow the six pillars of good character is the best ways to be happy and makes good grades in our class.

When people are mean to other peoples on purpose, that makes me really angry. I think it's childish, rude and bad manners to be mean to someone else on purpose. There is always a nice way to deal with someone no matter whats wrong, an only mature people can figure out the way ta deal with other people without bein mean no matter what. I think its also rude to be mean to another person on purpose an instead of bein mean, people should try to find a kind way to deal with other peoples. Also, its very bad manners to be mean to someone on purpose an there is always a polite way to deal wif other people. So really, bein childish, rude an usin bad manners by bein mean to other people on purpose is just rotten an really makes me angry.

When people treats other peoples with kindness, respect an thoughtfulness, that makes me really happy an content. I loves to see peoples being kind to other peoples -- it really makes me smile, especially if the peoples is starngers to each other. It also makes me really happy when peoples treats other peoples with respect. There's nothin like seein people bein thoughtful for other people an doin somethin like sendin them a note if they feeling bad or givin them a special gift for no reason. And even though lots of things makes me happy an content, nothin quite is the same as when people treats other peoples with kindness, respect and thoughtfulness.


What is something that makes you angery? What is something that makes you really happy and content?

I wish everyone would learn to be kind and loving to each other. Then everyone would get along better and not fight as much. More kindness toward one another would help people learn how to make up with each other when they had a fight or disagreement. People would also be more giving to each other in big an little ways, from a parking space in the parking lot to food if they're hungry or money if they're in need. More kindness in the world would mean there would be less wars and fighting and more peacefulness. I think people would also feel better about themselves if other people was more kind to them. It would make them feel like they were valued and cared for. I really think if everyone would learn to be kind and loving to each other, then we'd all get along better and the world would be a happier place.

If a bully was botherin me, i would try to talk to them one-on one, then if that didnt work i would tell my mommy about it and i would tell her that someone is pickin on me and they wont stop even though i talked to them bout it. I would want to try talkin to someone who was bullyin me before i told any grown ups, just because that kid may think they're just pickin on me in fun an not realizin that its hurtin my feelings. Maybe if i tell them that what they doin hurts my feelins, they would stop. But if that didnt work, i would go to my mommy and tell her that someone is bullyin me. i would make sure to tell her ezactly what happened with this kid, an be as detail as i can, but as honest as i can. i would let my mommy know that i tried to talk to the bully myself but that that didnt help and they is still pickin on me. i would also tell her when they picked on me (like how many times) so she would be able to tell if it is a serious problem or not. i think then my mommy would either go to that kid's parents an talk to them, but if that didnt help and like the kid is being a bully at school, she would probably tell the principal about it. i would hope that if i talked to a bully bout how thme pickin on me made me feel they would stop, but if they didnt, i would tell my mommy that somebody is pickin on me an tell her as many details about it as i could.

I really dont like that i am a insecure girl most of the time, an i am workin on changing that, because i think if i dids i would be able to be more outgoing so touch more peoples lives, i would be hapier because i wouldnt worry bout what other people think of me as much, and i would not feel like sometimes people leaves me out of things because im not "cool". If i was more secure an outgoing, i would likely talk to more people easily. If i could talk to more people, i could help more people an witness to more people about Christianity. i would also be happier because i wouldnt worry about what other people think of me an i could just be me without wondering if im good enough. And finally i think if i was more secure in myself i wouldnt feel like poeple leaves me out of stuff because i am not cool or not good enough. i would know that i am fine exactly as i am, and that if people leabes me out of something that means it wasnt meant to be and something better for me will come along. I am hoping this class will help me not worry so much if people leaves me out of things. help me not worry abiyut what other people think of me as much as i do now, and i would be more outgoing so able to touch more people and help them. i think if i can do all of those i will be a more secure girl.

** Footnote: i pologize that the psellin an typing in this post is worse than usual. i am takin a strong coff medicine that is makin me feel very weird lol.

If i loved my neighbor like i loved mysef, i would be a more generus person, i would try ta get ta know my naybor more than i already does, and i would look out for my neighbor better than i already does. If i truly loved my neighbor as much as i loved myself, i would be more willin to give my neighbor whatever they needed or even wanted, whether it was big or small, a necessarie thing or just a desire. I would also make more of a effort to get ta know my neigbor more than i already does; instead of jus wavin at each other in the driveway, i would stop an intraduce myself an get ta know them like friends. Also i would be more carefuls to look out for my naybors more than i does know, like watchin there house to see if strangers is around, and i would take them lil gifts for holidays and stuff. So really, i think i should really for true love my naybors like i does myself an show i does by being more generus with them, get ta know them more better, an look out for them better than i does.

i think if everyone in the world love they naybors as much as they love theyselves, we would all be more kind and caring, our world would be a friendlier, nicer place to live, an fewer people would go without being taked care of. For one thing, if everyone loved each other as much as they loves theyselves, we would all be friendly to each other and say nice, kind words to each other an be conserned about each other. Everyone would be more friendly to each other an instead of ignorin somebody on the street we would all stop an say hi an show how much we cares by talkin to each other an lissenin to each other, and even doin other stuffs like holdin the door for each other. Also more people would be taked care of if we loved each other like we loved ourselves, because we wouldnt let poor people go without food or medisine, and we wouldnt let people whos hearts was hurting to be by theyselves to hurt alone. I really wishes everyone in the world loved everyone else as much as they love theyselfs because then everyone would be more nice to each other, we would be more friendly to each other, and we would also make sure none of us goed without stuffs we needs.

What would happen if people never co-operated? Why do you think it is important to co-operate?

If people never co-operated, we wouldn't have any of the things we're use to like schools an stuff, people would just fite all the time, an there would be nothin but messes all over. Schools, our govurnmint, hospituls an other things like this takes organization to works right, an organization takes people co-operatin, so if people didn't co-operate, these things wouldn't work rite. People would just fite all the time, too, because people wouldn't wanna do anythin to get along. And there would be messes all over because stuff like laws and good driving on the roads an even keepin a house clean takes people co-operating an all helpin. So if people didn't co-operate, things we're use to like schools an govurnmint wouldn't work rite, people would fite all the time, and there would be messes all over.

When talking with other people, I show respect by listening to dem close, looking into they eyes, an sayin stuff back to them when they talks. I listens to people really close when i talk with them so they can tell i'm intrested in what they has to say. I also looks into they eyes when they talks to me so they know i'm payin attention to dem. I also likes to answer them back when they talks, or nod my head or say "Yap!" so they know i listenin. So, by listenin to peoples really close, lookin into they eyes an sayin stuff back to them when they talks, i shows respect to other peoples when i talk wif them.

I know my sissy Payton loves me because she always says hi to me when she sees me on, she never forgets to send me presents on special days, and even though we don't have the same parents no more she is still as close to me as ever before. Payton an me have known each other since I first started sl as a kid, and everytime she sees me on, she makes sure to stop an say hello to me an ask how i'm doin. Everytime a holiday or a special day, like my rez day, comes around, i know Payton will send me a present or a note or somethin to let me know she's thinkin of me. And even though we don't have the same parents no more, whenever we talk it's like that doesnt even matter and we're as close as we ever was. So because she always says hi to me, remembers me on special days, and we're as close as we ever was, i know my sissy Payton loves me.
