  3. What does it mean to be unique? -We may forget this and that could lead us to think that everyone will think/act/be the same as us, but that is not true and diversity is not a bad thing. -Unique: There is nobody exactly like you, you are your own person, incomparable to others. Stand out in your own way! -I’m unique because: I play baseball, I’m a trumpet player, I’m really silly, I love cooking.

  4. Why is uniqueness important? - It shows us that not everyone is exactly alike. -Everyone has different interests/features that make us who we are. -This lets us learn from each other and see things differently.

  5. Understanding and Respecting -Understanding Differences -This is the ability to acknowledge and allow other opinions and ways of life even though they are not like yours -Having an open mind to new things. -Acceptance: No matter what, I respect you and I will treat you kindly

  6. Bullying -Opposite of acceptance -Taking what make’s others unique and using it to put them down (physically or mentally) -Refusing to have an open mind -Thinking that their opinion/way of life is better and that people who are different are wrong

  7. Different Kinds of Bullying Physical -Actually hurting the other person Mental -Use words to make others feel worthless, although it doesn’t seem like it Cyber -Sending hateful messages about someone online Accidental -Jokes/insults are taken the wrong way

  8. It was just a joke -You never know how people will react to your words and cruelty is not a joke -Why is it not OK to say these things? -How can I stop these negative words?

  9. Bullying can lead to: -Feeling like you aren’t good enough -Feeling like everyone is against you -Wanting to hide what makes you different -Feeling isolated and alone -Feeling like you will never belong

  10. And... These thoughts can affect a person for their whole life.
