I got this from Mel Forbes status on face book (October 28, 2011) (Thanks Mel :) )
What a great explanation of BULLYING
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 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. Pass it on or better
yet, if you're a parent or a teacher, do it with your child/children, I
will be.
Just thought I'd share it, that's all :)
Thanks for stopping by
