' alk About' easing
Why do kids tease? Some teasing
starts out to be fun, but then it
goes too far and turns negative
and hurtful. Some kids tease
because they feel bad about
themselves, or they are sad or
scared. Some kids tease to go
along with the crowd. They think
teasing other children will make
them look cool.

TALK) When is teasing fun and
ABOUT IT / when is it painful?
Look at the examples of teasing below.
Cross out the examples that you think are hurtful.
Circle the ones you think are funny. Not everyone will
circle and cross out the same pictures. Why is that?
Lydia is teasing Julie about her messy hair. Circle what Julie
s thinking. Why did you choose the thought you selected?
m going to tease
her back the next time
she has a bad
hair day!
"his really
hurts my
feelings.
Funny is not the same for everyone. One person may think
getting teased about their hair is funny. Another person might
find getting teased about their hair painful.

ABOUT IT someone in the past?

ips to handle teasing:
1. Ignore the teaser or walk away and
go somewhere else to play. Some
people tease to get attention and if
they don't get it, they will stop.
2. Tell the person teasing you that you
would like them to stop. Say things
like, "When you say that, it hurts
my feelings, and I want you to
stop." or, "Please stop teasing me
now."
3. Make a joke or say something
bizarre like, "Hey!r here is
spaghetti falling off the tree!"
4. If none of the above works, seek
help from a trusted teacher, parent
or other adult.
What are some good ways to deal with being teased?
