A teacher in New York was teaching her
class about bullying
and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the
children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it
up,
stomp on it and really mess it up, but do not rip it. Then
she
had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how
scarred and dirty it was. She then told them to tell it
they’re
sorry. Now even though they said
they were sorry and tried
to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left
behind.
And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard
they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child
bully's
another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars
are
there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the
classroom told her the message hit
home.
Copy and paste this if you are
against bullying.
