Things To Think About 3

Complaint : Karla would like to know why her younger sister Bonnie has such
                   low self-esteem.


Statements and comments made by Karla and others:



     1. " Bonnie you eat like an elephant."
     2. "Your clothes make you look like a clown."
     3. " Who would pick you to be on their team?"
     4. " Can't you do anything right?"
     5. " Are you stupid?"
     6. "You are always the last person picked to be on a team."
     7. "You talk funny."
     8. " Your legs look like string beans."
     9. " You don't fit in."
     10. " Your so ugly even the dog won't play with you!"
     11. " I bet you have an IQ of a rock!"




What do you think? Would you feel very good about yourself if you were Bonnie???

No, I would feel good about myself if I were Bonnie, or Karla either, for that matter. Thank you for raising the question. It gets people to think how they treat others.
