Take an example you're eating an ice cream cone then someone slaps it out of your hand. It's the persons fault you think but you don't know if the person was unaware of the surroundings same to you. But no its never ok to blame it on someone because there are many excuses on each matter to bulling someone or randomly bumping into them.]]> 2019-10-04 15:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393634677 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393634910 It depends on what happened. If the person acted out negatively, then it is not okay to blame those actions on somebody else. But if the person acted positively, then it shouldn't matter but it is not okay to take responsibility for someones actions without permission. Say you helped the sub with organizing papers or something but the sub didn't put your name down, and someone else took responsibility for that, that's not okay. ]]> 2019-10-04 15:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393634910 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393635012 Depending on the situation, blaming others for your actions can be justified. But not always. If for example, you were forced into doing something, then blaming the person who forced you into it is justified. For example if someone was forced into harming another person then that would be justified to blame someone other than yourself.
But in most cases it is not okay to blame others for your actions. If for example, you yourself harmed someone, not forced into it, then you shouldn't blame others for that action. ]]> 2019-10-04 15:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393635012 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393635089 No, unless that person cut of your legs and arms, killed your dog and or cat, said your grandma's cooking was bad when it is clearly not, then maybe you can blame them.]]> 2019-10-04 15:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393635089 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636089 No its never okay to blame someone else for our problems. If you blame someone else it can get the person you blamed in trouble ]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636089 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636214 No, it is not okay to blame others for your problems because it is not their fault for whatever problems you have. An example is that if you got in trouble at school because you had made a decision that got you in trouble, that would not be anyone else's fault except yours.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636214 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636264 I don't think it's okay to blame other people for your own problems because there's prolly something you can do to help yourself. Like if you struggle in math, you can't just blame your teacher because you didn't understand what they were teaching during class. You could instead get more practice or get tutoring. There's something you can do to help fix the problem.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636264 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636281 It's not okay to blame others for your problems in life because there is almost always something you can do to fix that problem. You should take responsibility over your actions and your life.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636281 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636300 I believe that it is NEVER okay to blame others for your personal problems and/or mistakes. For example if you cut your hair with a safety scissor for fun and it turned out badly, you can't blame anyone for that. Although they may have pressured you to do it, you still had the choice to do it or to not do it and you did. So it is nobodies fault but your own.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636300 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636309 Personally I dont think its ever okay to blame someone for your problems. When you blame someone else for your problems its only going to hurt you. You will never be able to overcome your problem because you aren't accepting that it is actually your problem. Many people like to bully others. In a way thats blaming others for your problems. The bully has problems, so they take it out on someone else, just like how a person blames someone.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636309 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636399 Blame others for our problems is okay in some situations, but NOT all. For example when Cole blames Peter for sending him to the detention center, that is not okay. That is Cole's fault because he did not have to rob a store or beat Peter up for telling on him. In this way it is not okay to blame others. In other situations it is okay. Blaming someone else for your problems would be in the book TSB how Cole's father would beat him and how Cole's dad would also get beat. In this situation blaming others would be okay because violence what he has been taught to do if someone does something wrong or something he disliked. ]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636399 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636419 No, I don't think is right to blame someone else for your actions because it was you who decided to do it, not them. As an example if you stole something and you try to blame it on your friend who was with you and dared you to do it, it wouldn't be right. Why? because you decided to listen to your friend and steel it, but the thing is that you stole it, not your friend.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636419 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636438 It is not okay to blame other people for your problems. If it is YOUR problem it is not somebody else's fault. For example, if YOU make a mistake during a soccer game you can't get mad at other people that THEY DIDN'T do anything right.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636438 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636440 It is never okay to blame others for what happens in our lives. It is not okay wen you blame your parents for beating you up as a kid and you say that is why you are not a good person. Kevin Bracey is a huge example of this, he chose to not be like his father. He now is a very successful motivational speaker. When he was younger, I bet that he would have never thought he would be speaking to others on how to become a better person. If you stop blaming people for your past you will become a better person in the future.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636440 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636444 It is never okay to blame others for our problems. An example of that from TSB is when Cole blames Peter for Cole for him being on the island because he should never have told on him. Its his mistake for doing it in the first place so he can't blame him for his own mistakes.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636444 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636521 The only time it would be okay to blame someone else for your problems is when its directly that persons fault. For example if a criminal attacked and killed your parents and due to that you are placed in an orphanage and your life after that is very hard it would be okay to blame that criminal for the problems that come out of those actions. But in Cole's situation it is mostly Cole's fault when he causes issues.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636521 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636711 I don't think it's okay to blame others for our problems in life. I think this because if you start blaming people for our life problems you won't  be able to see what you did to cause this problem or see what you need to do to make the problem go away. For example , Cole always blamed Cole for snitching and getting him in trouble ,but really Cole was the reason why he is in the position he is in right now. This is why I think you shouldn't blame others for your like problems.]]> 2019-10-04 15:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636711 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636727 No, it is never okay to blame others for something you did. You need to take the responsibility for your actions and take the blame for what you did. ]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636727 99743048 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636752  If you blame others for actions you will never learn how to take responsibility for your self. I have learned that when you lie it is like a gate way and you keep lying. For example Coles mother blames her husband parents as the reason why Cole gets abused. But i don't agree with that because i can't imagine Coles father enjoying getting hit by his parents. So therefore Coles father is the one that should get blamed.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636752 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636768 In my opinion it is never okay to blame others for the problems because its not their fault whats going on in your life so blaming them for something in your life that has nothing to do with them is never acceptable for instance if your parents are always really rude to you and abuse you its not right to take it out on someone else because they cant do anything to help and they should not get that treatment from something they didn't even do they may even have their own problems and you could make it worse.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636768 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636782 I don't think it's OK to blame other about your problems but it really depends on the situation you are in like Cole I feel that most of his anger comes from his dad when he would beat him until out of breath and that his mom wouldn't try to stop his father from beating him ]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636782 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636784 No it is not okay to blame others for your problems because you are responsible for yourself and your actions and nobody can make you do anything.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636784 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636802 its not okay because if you blame others that is just putting down someone for your problem or mistake. Unless when your parents influence you to do bad things or if they abuse you, or get you addicted to bad things.

If you have like Depression because loved ones around you are abusing you, blaming them would be the best choice because YOU didn't chose for them to be like that its not your fault. But you have a choice to blame it on others or not.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636857 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636858 In my Opinion it is NEVER okay to blame someone for what you've done. That person can be going through a lot, and you blaming them for something you did can add more pressure on them. One time someone blamed me for what cruel, and bad things they have done. I felt sorry for the person for lying, but I was also sad because I had almost gotten in trouble.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636858 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636884 No, its not okay to blame others for our own problems. Even though other people can be the cause of our anger, the way we handle them is on us. For example, someone from school can spread rumors about you. If you decide to take out your anger using violence or you go and spread more rumors about them, then its on you. Instead of holding grudges against them, you can tell a trusted adult who can handle the situation appropriately. That way, no harm is done.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636884 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636891 In my opinion, it really depends on the situation if you could blame a person or not. Let's say the situation is that a person purposely did something to you, like talking badly against you, or trying to even hurt you physically or emotionally. In that case, I think you could blame that person if they were the one who started it and you did nothing wrong. But if the situation is you and another person both did something to each other, I think that you can't really blame that person because you also did something to them that they didn't like. So for me, I guess it really just depends on the situation.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636891 99734498 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636913 No, it is never okay to blame anything to others, because it is not their problem and its only yours. Also, it will mainly just hurt you for blaming someone else, because if they find out you would, get in trouble and have consequences. ]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636913 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636946 No I do not believe it is ever okay to blame others for your own personal problems. I believe this because blaming others is not a way to get rid of those problems, it just harms others in mental ways. For instance, when I was young, I had issues controlling my anger. I still do to this day, but it is more controlled. When I was about 7, I blamed my mom for something I did, and ended up punching her in the gut. It didn't help me or her, or my dad. In fact, my dad grounded me for a whole year, and talked to me very angrily, which is quite terrifying in the mind of a 7 yr old, especially if my dad yells. Another time was when I was 10, and I started blaming my teammates, on an online game for all of my losses. It didn't help our friendship, and it didn't help me not loss. Eventually, we stopped playing together, and nothing good came out of our interactions.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393636946 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637108 I don't think it's okay to blame others for your problems in life. It might no be 100% your fault but they are most likely going through something as well if they are hurting others. An example of this is when Cole was making all those bad decisions because of the anger that was caused by his dad. Yes, it was not fully Cole's fault but his father went through the same thing as a child and Cole had the decision to make something good out of it or instead not be like his dad.]]> 2019-10-04 15:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637108 amclaugh1 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637610 That's a tough one. I think there are time when he problems in your life really ARE someone else's fault. Like if you are a child and your parents are addicts or abusive. You CAN blame them because you didn't ask for that to be a part of your life. I think you shouldn't dwell on it, but sometimes things happen that really aren't your fault.]]> 2019-10-04 15:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637610 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637658 i dont think it is okay to blame others for OUR problems . you made the mistake or the decision to do whatever you did nobody MADE you do it.they might have told you to but they did not physically make you do it.so you cant blame anyone for what you did]]> 2019-10-04 15:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637658 https://padlet.com/amclaugh1/hoqk74muedbx/wish/393637659 It  is never okay to blame others for your problems in life because its not there fault for what you've done.
