Howl #3: Bullying and Inferiority

Around Jamaa, some Members (only the bad ones!) are bullying Non-Members, or even other Members depending on what clothing they have or are wearing, what they say, or how they act. Which isn't nice!
Remember, Members are, what you can call, "upgraded" versions of Non-Members. They only get the better of what Non-Members have. But that doesn't make them any better than Non-Members!
A Member (or even another Non-Member) might go up to a Non-Member and say something rude, such as "I have better clothes than you!" or "Your outfit is lame!". If somebody said that to me I would say "Well I'm not a Member so I can't have clothes like you" or something. 
I even once saw these 2 Members making fun of a Non-Member because she had a lot of different colors. They said that it looked like someone had puked a rainbow on her! She kept telling them to stop, because she liked her colors. I helped her, but they wouldn't stop! I finally told the Non-Member that she shouldn't care what the bullies think about her, and that she looked awesome just the way her colors were! :)
This is what you should do, Member or Non-Member. If you're being bullied about the clothes you're wearing, or colors, or anything, just ignore them, and don't care about the mean things they say! You can also step up and say that you like your colors, and you don't care if they dislike them or not!
Every Jammer is unique and awesome! Unfortunately, some Jammers are bullies, and think that making fun of other Jammers is "cool".
Members also think that just because they're Members, they're superior to the Non-Members, because they have access to all the things that Non-Member don't have. This isn't true! We may be separated by our Jammer status, but that doesn't mean that Members are better than Non-Members, or vice versa. Every Jammer is great, and you should be proud of the Jammer you are!
