A Fight!

People are different, everyone thinks differently, has different

characteristics people act differently, no one is the same in this world. This

is good, but some of the time young people do things they regret later,

sometimes they cant control what they do, other times they do things to get

respect from other people. One of these things I am talking about is fighting

between other fellow peoples. When I was at the age of 9, I saw my first fight

between two of my best friends. It all started approximately 3 weeks before the

actual fight with a silly name calling game which turned very bad. One day both

of these very close friends were in a classroom together with a group of other

students in the same room, one person started to call another a name to get

recognised by other students as being ?big’ and win respect from them. The two

friends were the same age, and strength and didn’t want to look bad in front of

the other students, so the two friends said a comment back to each other in

defence. It started of as a small game, but by the end of the class, it was

getting serious. This continued for about 3 weeks, then one day they were in the

same class as each other, again throwing comments at each other when one said to

the other; “lets take this out side”. Everyone around them urged them to fight

so after the class that’s exactly what they did. Arms were flying everywhere,

the other students were shouting anger at them to hurt each other more, and more.

I remember standing there helplessly wanting to stop them, but knew if I got

involved I would most probably be suspended for interfering. This made me sad,

for I didn’t have any control of any of my good friends.
