As most of you noticed, the banners in the Square were removed back on
January the 18th. The banners were changed to say, "All banners have been removed until
Whyvillians stop fighting."
Wow! How harsh! But this teaches us a little lesson. It's not the end of the world,
but it is one of our privileges
taken away, and for good reason. I see fighting everywhere, newbies being made fun of, people
being mean to each other for revenge, password stealers, and in real
life, it's everywhere! The other day I was going home from school
when my friend unzipped a boy's back-pack as he was leaving and all his
books fell out. Everyone makes fun of that boy, and that didn't make it
any better.
It's okay to tease people as long as they know it is all in
good fun, like when I pretend I am mad at my friends, because they know I'm only
joking. But when it gets out of control, like people threatening to beat
people up, or in Whyville, people threatening to take passwords, that's bad.
I think that we should all team up and if we see anyone being made fun of, we
stop it from going too far.
Think before you talk! I know sometimes that is
hard to do because someone will get us really mad and we can't quite control
our anger. But try!
Don't be mean to people who already get made fun of, how
would you like it if someone did that to you? I know how they feel,
people make fun of me sometimes and I hate it.
Please don't be mean to
people if you can and help us stop those people who just can't get
enough of making fun of others. It's just not nice!
Remember the golden rule:
Treat others as you would like to be treated and if you make fun of
people it will come back to you ten times worse!
