Peacemakers avoid conflicts
Peacemaker program at Usborne school helps regolve peer conflicts
By Heather Vincent
T -A stat[
EXETER - Usborne School in
Exeter is implementing a peace-
makers program to help children re-
solve conflict in a peaceful manner.
To kick off the program the play,
Beating Bully O'Brien, was pre-
sented by grade five and six stu-
dents on Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday evening. The play dem-
onstrates the effectiveness of peace-
able solutions.
Beating Bully O'Brien examines
the inner conflicts of a young boy
who is having difficulty dealing,
with a bully at school who happens
to be a girl. Rocky is a pacifist at
'heart but feels pressure from his fa-
ther and peer to deal with the bully
by hitting back. "I'm a pacifist,
please don't hate me," said Rocky.
Rocky tries everything from pay-
ing his body-building sister to beat
up the bully to skipping school. He
is embarrassed about his un-
willingness to use violence as a so-
lution to his problem. Rocky's
friend Daniel Lu acts tough but also
is really a pacifist at heart, " 1 just
thought that was the way Canadian
boys are supposed to act."
In the end, Rocky and the bully,
Catherine O'Brien (Tink) forge a
close friendship when he helps save
her from her older brother who uses
her as a punching bag.
The play deals effectively with
the issues violence and peer pre -
sure. It left the audience with a pos-
itive outlook in an increasingly vi-
olent world. The program at
Usborne will help students develop
skills to resolve conflict peacefully.
Grade five and six students have re-
ceived training to help their young-
er peers deal with conflicts at
school.
