An ethical dilemma (#4)
September 27, 2006What do you think Mary should do? I think that she should ignore them for some time, but it they keep on saying bad words and things like that, go tell the teacher that someone bad is sending inapropiate notes. But if the teacher says something like, “Oh, don’t worry about it. I’m sure it was an accident. Just ignore it. Maybe they will stop it.” Then you go to the principal’s office and confirm that they are doing weird things to her. The principal or the headmaster should have something to do about it or something, like if they find out who is the mean notetaker, the principal or the headmaster should have a reward…
Would you do the same thing? Nope. I would go straight up to my teacher and say positive that someone was giving inapropiate notes to me. If the teacher said something ridiculous, then, I’d show her my notes and claim that they were doing something bad. I wouldn’t wait for another wrong note.
Go and tell the truth!
What do you think would happen to someone in your school who was in Mary’s situation? (I.e. would she get backlash for hooking up with older guys? Would people gossip about her?) If it was someone I knew, and was friends with, I would get thier back and stand up for them nomatter what. If they didn’t believe me, my jaw would drop down like this:
But I would also get really sad… because I didn’t stand up for my friend so much…
I would rather go to my room and pound my fists on a table and w-a-i-l…
just like this little… blob… of thingymabobers…
How does gossip play a role in your school, in your community? Yes, it plays big time on our school. Everybody has people they hate. Every once in a while, you should gossip, but not like 50 million times a minute… just kidding. Many people like gossiping. It’s like a habit. I gossip. My friends do, my classmates do to. But we don’t just talk about everybody in the school we hate. We talk about why we hate them and what they are doing to us. If you just gossip about no reason, then don’t!
This sticky notes are are for the notes that you past..
Have you ever been in a situation similar to Mary’s? How was it resolved? Yes, I have been in a situation like Mary before. I was mad at my friend, and wanted to do something that I kept to myself, but I ended up spilling it. I had backstabbed my fried. I thought it wasn’t going to get out, but it did, and I had let my friend down. i could never forgive myself to that. And during the summer, that was the only thing i thought about during the nights. I wondered if she was going to forgive me. I had gotten many emails from her, but I was still scared. But when I invited her to my b-day party, she was all nice and that, so it was like a 50-50 chance of her forgiving me. And after school went by, something happed to my other friend and we had a meeting. And my first friend that i talked about siad that she should trust me or not. but then later, she said that I had given her proof and she forgave me… That was one of my most hapiest moments in my life.
She is my almost best friend now. We spend lots and lots of time together.![]()
Why do you think people gossip? Have you ever gossiped about someone? Why do you think you did? People gossip because it is a habit, i guess… I have gossiped about someone a million times…
I know, it is kind of hard to believe. But it is a habit to each and every one of us. We gossip like we don’t care. But me and my friends have a different kind of gossip, we tell why we hate them and for what reson we hate them. Other wise then that, we don’t gossip! ![]()
