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, stamp 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 is 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.
