Friends and Foes



Just today, one boy, my student cried in the dining room.

I was in the music room (which was next to the dining room of coz) when it happened so i was clueless.

As usual, my very kepo kepo students barged into the music room and said, "Teacher Diyana, M is crying."

I asked them why he is crying and they said something about M looking at a girl panties and what not.

Like seriously. Kids nowadays. Tsk tsk!

I called M into the music room and shooed the rest out and had a talk with him.

He was still sobbing btw.

Here's an excerpt of our conversation.

TD: Why are u crying M?

M: They never friend me.

TD: Who?

M: All of them.

TD: What actually happened?

M: I dunno.

TD: What is it that i heard about u looking at Z panties and all..?

M: I never.

I went out from the music room and called Z in the music room.

TD: Z, did M look at ur panties?

Z: No.

(My students very mcm2 ok. Mana ntah dorang suddenly came out with this pun, i tak tau)

TD: M, what actually happened?

M: G told everyone not to friend me.

(G is Z twin brother btw)

TD: Ok, stop crying. It wont solve any problem. Go outside and eat your bread.

I went out and called G into the music room to have a private chat with him.

TD: G, why did u say that to M?

G kept quiet.

TD: Look, you wouldnt like it if someone said that to you right?

G kept quiet again.

TD: Ok, what if, i went out right now and tell everyone to not talk to you and dont be your friend anymore. How would you feel?

G: Sad.

TD: There you go. You'd feel miserable. That's exactly how M is feeling right now when you said that to him. I dont ever want you to say that to him or anyone ever again ok.

G nodded.

G went out and from what i saw he went over and apologised to M.

Smart boy!

*TD is short for TEACHER DIYANA*
*The alphabets are my students initial*

Still in the topic of friends, yes ive said bad and hurtful things. You can call me a hypocrite for all i care. But my conscience is clear. Ive apologised to the other party.

Can you ever do that?

Of coz u cant.

Can you ever forgive and forget?

Of coz u cant.

Now, im thinking.

What can you do?
