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??? P.R. Deremer

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.
