Here is a story scenario you can use to help teach about the importance of the Character Education traits of Self Control, Valuing & Respecting Self, Valuing & Respecting Others, and Tolerance & Allowing. Some kids start making fun of basketball player Jason just because he is short. In the first part of the story, seventh-grader Jason reacts badly to their ridicule. He ends up getting beat up. The last part of the story shows how much better the situation can be when Jason demonstrates enough self control to talk reasonably with his tormentors. As a result, they react in a more tolerant fashion as well. The story is called “Accept Me for Who I Am.” This Conflict Resolution story is based on an idea shared with me by one of my past seventh-grade students who struggled with being a lot shorter than the other 7th-grade guys.
