My hpe teacher made this speech. She got us to write a description of the paper. Mine: "Blank, flat, rectangular" Then, she got us to write, A family members name, a hobby and a friends name on the paper. Then she said to scrunch it up. When we unfolded it, she proceeded to tell us, to go over our descriptions. By scrunching it up, we had taken away everything about it. By writing on it, it was no longer blank. By scrunching it up, it was no longer flat or rectangular. She told us, that, no matter how many times you try to flatten the paper, you will NEVER get the creases out. And that's what bullying did. She said that every time you bully someone, it puts a crease in their life. It made me cry... Bullies, just stop.. #stopbullying ❤
