Wisdom story: The lesson about bullying from a crumpled piece of paper
A teacher wanted to teach her class about bullying so she 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 to be careful not to 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 look on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home.
Moral of the story:
- Be mindful of what you say and do. Once a word is said or a deed is done there are consequences.
