What is in your mind when you read or heard word 'apple'?
This tasty and fresh apple?
Red, perfect shape, and delicious apple?
or maybe as simple as a brand name of a company (you know what I mean)?
Now, please look at the next picture, there are a lot of apples!
Aren't they gorgeous? When we see a lot of apple like this, we'll really happy and glad (at least I do). Fresh apples! The head of my school told all teachers one day that if you drop the apple to the ground many times it will (still) looks good from outside. The same delicious apple. But then, if you cut the apple into two parts, you will see the inside of the apple looks terribly bad because it has dropped.
She compare the dropped apple with the children and or people around us and the cause of the drop as the bullying action (verbal or nonverbal). Bullying is an action that hurt somebody feeling, mental or physically. Maybe what we say or do means nothing for us, but for those children or people, it will be a big hole that become bigger and bigger. What she was trying to say is the target of bullying will looks okay and fine from outside. But the inside?
That's why we have to be careful in saying anything. Kidding is only happened if both side (the one who throw the joke and the one who become the joke) are laugh together. If one of them feel bad about that, it's not a joke anymore.
What I have learned that I have to mind my words, because wrong words can be a really sharp knife that can kill somebody. I want my students and people around me as fresh as the apples on the tree. No scars inside them. So we can be happy together.
