We have a responsibility to show respect to everyone!!!...no matter how old we are or what authority we hold... Respect means to recognize the value of people, animals, property and the environment - and treat them with consideration, care and concern. A respectful person is willing to go the extra mile in order to be courteous and caring to everyone. The important thing to remember is that becoming respectful takes time, effort and commitment on our part and on the part of others. Each person must be willing to care about the feelings and needs of others. Have you ever heard the expression, Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me? Well - guess what, ITS A LIE!!! Words can hurt. They can be a form of emotional abuse. Bones that get broken heal, but emotional hurt from spiteful, mean, and uncaring words can have a life long effect. People name-call and tease for different reasons. The two most common reasons are to put someone down, and to make them feel bad about themselves. Another reason is that you might just be joking around. Keep in mind that if you are the only one who thinks your joke is funny, then your name-calling and teasing is not a joke to the other person. An uncontrolled tongue is like deadly poison. It can kill. - The Peaceful Solution
