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 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 you try to fix it. That is was happens when a child bully's another child, they may say they're sorry but the scars are there forever.

At age 8, your dad buys you ice cream. You thanked him by dripping it all over his lap.
At 9, he paid for piano lessons. You thanked him by never practicing.
At 10, he drove you all day, from soccer to one birthday party after another. You thanked him by jumping out of the car & never looking back.
At 11, he took you & your friends to the movies. You thanked him by asking to sit in a different row.
At 12, he warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked him by not listening.
At 13, he suggested a haircut. You thanked him by telling him he had no taste.
At 14, he paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked him by never writing him.
At 15, he came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked him by ignoring him.
At 16, he taught you how to drive his car. You thanked him by sneaking out with it.
At 17, he was expecting an important call. You thanked him by being on it all night.
At 18, he cried at your graduation. You thanked him by staying out partying.
At 19, he paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus & carried your bags. You thanked him by saying bye outside the dorm so you wouldn’t get embarrassed.
At 25, he helped to pay for your wedding,& told you how much he loved you. You thanked him by moving far away.
At 50, he fell ill & needed you to take care of him. You thanked him by reading about the burden parents become to their kids.
& one day, he quietly died. & everything bad you did came down on YOUR HEART.
If you love your dad, favorite.

1) take your shoe size
2) muliply it by 5
3) add 50
4) multiply by 20
5) add 1012
6) subtract the year you were born
the 1st digit is your shoe size, while the last digits is your age.

Hello. Welcome To "School"
What you will need:
• About 50,000 pen and pencils, because they'll probably get stolen or lost the first month.
• About 20 notebooks, for doodling when the teacher bores you and for all those people that never remember paper.
•A $150 calculator that you will probably only use once
• A giant backpack to hold the 50 pounds of books we give you.
Steps to getting through day of said school:
1. Wake up at 6 a.m.
2. Allow about 10 minutes of getting ready before you run out the door to catch the bus.
*note: when on said bus, watch for flying pens, pencils, paper, erasers, and other unidentified flying objects*
3. Get into school.
*note: while walking to locker, watch out for running people, and flying objects*
4. Get to class
*note: watch for random groups of people standing in the middle of the hallway. They create traffic. DO NOT BE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE. You will be hated and possibly pushed out of the way*
5. Get through all classes.
6. Get back on bus.
*note: see note for step two *
7. Do all 500 pages of homework that are due the next day.
*note: this could take well into the night. You may want to break out the coffee or energy drink*
8. Repeat for about nine months until summer comes.
Additional Notes:
• 8 hours of school just isn't enough. We find it necessary to give you another 3 hours of homework. Apparently, we think you have no social lives.
•We give you books that weigh about 50 pounds. You have to carry them everywhere, even though we almost never use them.
•You will have to basically teach yourselves everything, because your teachers think it "makes you a better student". They do almost nothing the whole class period except bore you.
• Beware of the people in gym class. soe believe they are in the Olympics and may run you over if you get in their way.
•Learn how to get out of the way fast. You will need this skill when walking through the hallway.
•We don't teach you good skills, like what to do if your car breaks down or how to balance a checkbook. But we do find it necessary to teach you the Pythagorean Theorem, which you will most likely never use in your life.
Thank you,
and welcome to school.
