14The Canadian Statesman, Bowmavnille, November 1, 1978 Section Two Region Chai rman Helps Lay Cornersto'ne their defense- against encouraeing more. Sophisticated leasing requires a degree of itellect. Restricted teasing requires a considerable degree of sensi- tivity. Both must be combined if any good is to corne from teasing. I say this because any other method will focus on diminishing the person being teased. Good, honest teasing need flot be harrnful. ut is virtually part of the romance ritual of our society for fellows to tease their girl friends and vise versa. Good friends often tease each other about some past event that one or the other finds a'- little bit embarra sing. 'Remember that day you felI off your chair in the Home and Scbool meeting" or "tell us again how corne you missed that deer on the hunt" are the type of one liners with which people tease others. However in these situations the teaser knows in advance that it really isn't too sensitfive an issue and of course doesn't keep it up very long. The type of teasing which is really harmful is the thoughtý less, continuous or malicious approach that is focused on hurting someone. Sometimes it's done in revenge. Some- times it's done to verbally attack someone who is acting superior. Sometimes it's done as the only solution a, person can think of to deal with their own shortcomings in a situa- tion. And sometimes it's done because the person is just a "teaser" who doesn't realize the potential harm and pain he can bring to others. None of these uses are valid. They are poor alternatives to solving a problem. Invariably it leads to greater problems. How does one deal with teasing? It's one of the few things in this world that if you ignore it, it will go away. This isn't always true but if one doesn't react, then what's the point of teasing them. This is hard for a young person to understand but it's part of their education. if this ignor- ing the problem doesn'tý solve it then the only thing left is to bring all parties concerned together and talk about the problem candîdly. A better understanding by aIl concern- ed usually results in a solution. 1 have even seen peopole become good friends, afterwards. It is necessary to learn how to handle teasing because it does happen and generally it need not be an unhappy event. One's reaction often dictates what happens next. Sophisticated teasings is so difficult todo that most people shouldn't even try it. Leave it to the T.V. programs where in fact it can be funny and those being teased are being well paid to take it.

E--ducation with Tù erry Hraw«ld*ns Teasing has just got to be one of the -most troublesome annoyances faced by many of the people ini the world. Kids come home from sehool cry- ing because they have been teased. Parents become exasperated when they see' one of their children teasing a brother or sister to despair. Teasing, somietimes at, quite a cruel or at least unthinking level, takes place at times among aduits. It almost seems to be a fact of our culture that teasing will take place. Teasing is in many ways, a type of humour. Invariably here is considerable laughter involved. At its rnost sophisti- Cated level it creates little pain for anyone and humour for rnany. It tends to be most hurnorous for those who wit- ness'the actions as comparea to those who are the victims, but not necessarily so. Of ten a clever retort by the "victim" reverses the situation and he bas the last laugh. However the line between pain and laughiter is rather fine and this is even more confused by the tact that many people who resent or are hurt by some teasing, laugh it off as part of ELEOT WEST Board of Education Ward I A Cou rtice Resident for 8 years.
