   PEER MEDIATION IS GOOD!! ^_^v
Well today was a busy day for me. At school, my 5th period English class was to do a presentation on peer mediation for a freshman class. It was very interesting. they played a game called "peanut", which was basically a game that shelled peanuts were pased out and they were todescribe what the peanut looks like from the outside, and from the inside without opening it. This game came from a story about the issues of conflict between peers. The nameless character from the story said,

" Why should I care what this peanut looks like from the inside, a peanut is a peanut."

The moral of this game was if we were not to care about what peanuts look like in the inside, then why can't we look at our peers, and people in general, the same way?

Then we all played a game called THE LINE GAME. The class was given index cards and they were to write anything that they wanted to know about their peers, but did not have the courage to ask. Then a long line of white tape was put on the floor vertically, and if the statement applied to anyone, the would take a step forward on the line. There were alot of interesting things subjects called such as; I have went to jail, I know someone is is battling an addiction, I not living to my full potential, and the subject of abuse. Someone even wrote " THIS IS BORING" on a card. It was a very interesting game, and I was not bored one bit. ^_^

And finally, we took the woed, " RESPECT" and found words that represented the term respect.
