To This Day Video

Today our class discussed the topics of self-esteem and body image. We talked about the importance of helping each other through the next phase of their lives - middle school and the changes that come with puberty - not making things harder on each other. We discussed how wrong the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," is, words stick with you and may never be forgotten. The following video supported our discussion and I encouraged the students to watch it again with their family and to discuss their feelings in response to the video at home.
