A teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth,UK.used two apples to show her students the damaging and often unseen
consequences of bullying ()And her post about the powerful lesson has spread widely.
Roise Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced the children to two red apples.What the kids
didn't know was that in the office,Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor.And yet,on the outside
at least.both apples looked perfect."I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I
disliked this apple,and I thought it was disgusting.it was a horrible color and the stem (was just too short."Dutton
wrote.
She then encouraged the students to do the same.Some of the children looked at her like she was "crazy".but the
students passed the apple around the circle,calling its names.
Continuing the exercise,the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle.This apple,however.was
showed with comments like:"Your skin is beautiful."and "What a beautiful color you are!"
Dutton then showed the students both apples once again.highlighting that"there was no change:both apples still
W
looked the same.”

That is,until she cut them open."The apple we'd said unkind words to was bruised(擦伤and all mushy(侧状t的
inside.”she said.
There was,she said,an immediate"light bulb"moment for her students."They really got it.What we saw inside
that apple,the bruises.the mush and the broken bits is what is happening inside every one of us when someone mistreats
us with their words or actions."
Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another and to stop any form of bullying.

"Let's create a generation of kind caring children,"the teacher wrote."The tongue has no heart,but strong enough

to break a heart.So be careful with your words."
