Reflect

In this episode, Scooter is upset that he isn’t part of the gang, so he gets back at everyone by teasing. Very soon, things get out of hand.

You and your friends probably have fun teasing each other. Most of the time, nothing bad comes from it. But teasing can quickly get out of hand and feelings can be hurt. The Bible says that should love people and treat them as we would want to be treated. It even says we should treat others as if they are more important than us (Philippians 2:3).

If you met a king or queen or president, you wouldn’t make fun of him or her. You’d be very polite and careful what you said. You’d want them to think well of you. And you certainly wouldn’t want to say anything that might make them angry or sad. We should treat everyone the same way we would treat a king or queen.

Want to dig deeper and learn more about how we should treat others? Check out Colossians 3:12, Colossians 4:6, and James 3:5-6.

Challenge

Think of the people you see everyday—family, friends, kids at school. Are there some that you tease a lot? Have you ever hurt their feelings? Before you see them next, think of something you can say to them that will make them feel good about themselves and you. When you see them, say that nice thing instead of teasing.
