Why does a stick bend?
Because its part of a bigger orginism that also had to bend to survive. If a tree were rigid and not able to bend, a strong wind or ice storm would injure or kill it. Having the ability to bend or be flexible allows it to sway with the wind. Its also another reason why some trees drop their leaves during the fall and winter. To protect the tree from wind damage.
How can black holes bend light?
Imagine a big sheet. If you place a large object on it, it will bend. Imagine that the sheet is the space-time continuum, and the large object is a star. If, with our sheet model, you try to roll a marble past the object, it will at least curve its path, if not fall into the large object. The same applies to any object in space, even the photons of light. As they go past a star or other large object, they bend. I hope this helped.
Why doesn't light bend?
It can be "bent" by passing through a medium of varying density, such as the image of a bent stick placed in a glass of water. This is known as refraction, where the speed of light is slightly lower through water, tricking our eyes into seeing a bent stick. However, in very precise technical terms, light can actually be bent, as it is only radiation. Black holes bend light, which is literally why they are black. The light cannot escape the black holes super strong gravitational pull (If passing by, it may just bent.). The sun for instance, can bend light by 1/1000th of a degree, so tiny that when earth bends light, we may as well say it does not at all. That is why this question asks "Why doesn't light bend?".
