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 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.

That was such a great read :)
That's awesome!
I think I'll use that in the future.l
Thanks!
Ahhh, wimpy kids these days! Don't they know that scars are the currency of childhood? That which does not kill you makes you stronger and your scars are what make you a beautiful adult!
What is it with all this sensitivity crap they teach in school these days? In my day it was eat or be eaten!
It's still that way. We just cover it up with pretty words and look to the kids like we are out of touch.
the mean kids said, "so, it scars them for life? Cool!"
So that is the kid that the rest of the kids beat the serial killer out of during every recess that week.
I saw a group of about 30 little kids take down their Jr High bullier once. Funniest and most vicious thing I ever saw. That kid was worthless so no one stepped into help him once the third and fourth graders organized.
That's awesome. Would have loved to have seen an organized raid on a bully. Good for them lol.
Where did you find this? Very inspiring!
