Off topic.... but applicable for all of US!
- 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 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.
I thought this was appropriate as this is how obese people are treated as well,

WOW! that is a very powerful excersize...especially cause i have children..They should do that in all schools!! I remember back in school i was teased and no one gave me a fair chance cause i wasn't skinny and wore name brand clothing! I would love to copy this and post it on my facebook if that's ok with you.
thank you so much for sharing this

WOW!!! I just shared this with my kids..they were stunned! I was ttreated poorly in school, for lots of different reasons, so I have this type of convo with my kids a few times a year. Now that I am not obese I sure do get treated differently. I even get picked up by women now..LOL
