0 Kai in Perth teased a boy because his clothes were old, to make the others laugh. 1 The boy stopped coming out at playtime, and his mum told the teacher. 2 Kai said sorry, and the next time someone teased the boy he stood up for him. 3 Money and clothes don't decide who someone is. 4 Kai felt good about changing — and a few weeks later slipped. 5 His friend got a wrong answer in maths and Kai laughed out loud. 6 She stopped putting her hand up. 7 When the teacher asked why she was so quiet, Kai's face went hot. 8 He said sorry and cheered her right answers from then on. 9 Everyone slips; what matters is putting it right each time. 10 Some words are worse than they sound. 11 A girl told a classmate she couldn't be the princess because of her skin colour — something she had heard somewhere and copied. 12 Her classmate cried; the head teacher and her parents talked with her about why it was wrong. 13 She said sorry, and in the next game her classmate was the princess and she was the guard. 14 Anyone can be anything in a game. 15 Telling everyone a friend's secret (that he still sleeps with a teddy) got the whole class teasing him, and he stopped trusting Kai. 16 Kai said sorry and told the class that lots of people have teddies — even him. 17 Teasing someone about old clothes or having less money is unfair; it says nothing about who they are. 18 Saying someone can't be or do something because of their skin colour is wrong and hurtful. 19 Saying a girl can't play football because she is a girl is wrong; girls play football at every level. 20 Laughing at someone's wrong answer stops them trying. 21 Words about someone's body can hurt deeply and for a long time. 24 Telling a friend's private secret to others breaks trust. 25 Sharing with the person next to you is a small kindness that makes everyone's work better. 26 A girl who wouldn't share her crayons felt mean when her neighbour's grey picture went up on the wall. 27 After you stop teasing, you may slip again; the fix is to say sorry and put it right each time. 28 Standing up for someone who is teased is a strong way to make amends. ← previous Teasing and laughing at othersnext → Staying up, screens and coming home late↑ back to Everyday This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/347-leaving-someone-out/
