Brilliant
 teacher! 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 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.

							| It �s interesting. I �m responsable at my school of the project: Culture of peace, human rights and prevention of violence. During this year we have carried out many activities to say STOP BULLYING.
 All ideas to face this problem are welcome.
 Thanks a lot.
