Kids helping kids who are<br />
teased for being different<br />
By: Yisrael Rosenfeld<br />
Yeshivah Chaim Berlin<br />
There was once a boy named Yehuda.<br />
Let’s just say he was not the<br />
most popular kid in the class. He was<br />
always being<br />
made fun of.<br />
Kids were calling<br />
him names<br />
like, “monkey”,<br />
“munch<br />
milk”. You<br />
might think it’s<br />
funny but it really<br />
hurt him.<br />
Then, one day,<br />
a kid named<br />
Shmuel called<br />
over Yitzi, the<br />
most popular<br />
kid who made<br />
fun of Yehuda<br />
the most.<br />
by: M.d.y. students<br />
Shmuel said,<br />
“I think you are hurting Yehuda’s<br />
feelings.” “I know,” replied Yitzi.<br />
“Then why do you do it?” said Shmuel.<br />
“Because it’s fun,” said Yitzi.<br />
“Well, if you were in Yehuda’s place<br />
would you also find it funny? You<br />
would feel bad.” “I guess so. I will<br />
stop,” said Yitzi. “Thank you,” said<br />
Shmuel. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5<br />

Being different<br />
By: Yaakov Mermelstein<br />
Yeshivah Chaim Berlin<br />
There was once a new boy in my<br />
class. He was short, fat, had an accent.<br />
Nobody in my class likes him.<br />
You can make<br />
people laugh<br />
without hurting<br />
someone<br />
He didn’t understand English. One<br />
time, the Rabbi called on him and<br />
he answered the questions with a<br />
dumb answer. My friend started<br />
laughing and that boy turned red.<br />
Later that day, I went over to the kid<br />
who laughed and asked him, “How<br />
would you have felt if you were that<br />
new kid?” He understood what I<br />
meant and went over to the new kid<br />
and apologized. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5<br />

It was the first day of school and<br />
there was a new girl from England<br />
and she was shy and didn’t know<br />
anyone. Her name was<br />
Linda. There was club<br />
and everyone was making<br />
fun of her because<br />
she had a little problem<br />
when she talks. Linda<br />
also has an accent and<br />
looks different because<br />
she is from England.<br />
I was watching and<br />
she was about to cry.<br />
I couldn’t take it anymore<br />
so I said, “Guys,<br />
it’s really not nice.”<br />
They all laughed at me.<br />
The next day, I invited<br />
her over and then I told<br />
the other girls, “You<br />
know Linda is very nice and I don’t<br />
know how you are not her friend.”<br />
They believed me and we are all best<br />
friends now. Vote: 1 2 3 4 5<br />

If someone wore two different<br />
kinds of socks and people made<br />
fun of him, I would say, “Stop!<br />
Just think if you made that same<br />
mistake?” Vote: 1 2 3 4 5<br />
