Fighting at School?

      A lot of students at school believe that fighting is the way to solve problems or that fighting makes them look tough and cool. If we could solve our problems with a fight I would have already solved all mines.

       Although fighting does not solve any problems it seems like everyone wants to start a fight. Some students fight because they want to look big and bad, others fight just because somebody is going around telling lies about them and others fight because they feel they are being bullied. But what everyone fails to realize is that fighting does not solve problems, if anything it brings you more problems and some of those problems can end up facing a couple or more years in jail, depending on the seriousness of the fight.

       For example, my friend Ernesto, he got in a fight the other day with Jesus Rodriguez because Jesus was going around talking bad about Ernesto, so then one day they ended up fighting and Jesus ended up getting suspended from school for 5 days meanwhile Ernesto walked away free of problems because he did not start the fight. Ernesto learned that fighting does not solve any problems, just makes your problems worst. Therefore he does no longer associate with Jesus because he does not believe fighting is going to solve anything.

       All in all, mostly all students and all people around the world believe that fighting solves their problems but lets face it people, the only reason we fight is because we want to look big and bad. We all are aware that fighting is nothing but a waste of time and we shouldn’t go around looking for trouble.
