revenge

Back in seventh grade always used to hurt peoples feelings because i was always the easy target in 6th grade. So pretty much i was getting even with everyone that hurt me. In the 6th grade i had people tripping me and calling me names and even beating me up, until i hit a huge growing spree. Then i was the one getting the satisfaction of hitting some one. I was on a roll but not in a good way i hurt people even more then they hurt me.

This quote shows the opposite of building mutual trust and respect. beating someone really bad is a total disrespect. I also understand how it feels to be on the side where ecery kid is insulted or has been beat up. That can be for any stupid reason. It can be for how they talk, how they look, or because of their afnisity. I'm not going to lie. I've my self have gone through all that. I also did the same thing as what Bassam did, Igot even with the people who bullied me. I actally started to grow more and started to work out. i got stronger, and realized that i have knockout power behind my fists. i took adventege of it.
And finally, this is the opposite of  resolving conflict peacfully. This is resolving your problems with violence which is not the right thing to do.

There was one time where I was with my friends. One of them was hit in the face by another kid who was considered a bully in school. So then me and the others went to the kid and faced him for what he did. He was being so unreasonable that my friend was so tired of it that he told me to hit him really hard in the face. That bully was so small that he was scared of us because we were much taller than him. I did hit him, but was not proud of it. First of all, it wasn’t even my business. So then I left.

My options were, do it and stand up for him. But this is not the best way to do it. Second, is that if I didn’t do it, I would be called a punk. I did the first one, which I should have never done. Many people bully others to get attention, which is not right. Or maybe, people bully others to show that they are tuff. Sometimes even because of the way that other people’s appearances even though they don’t know them very well. I will never bully.
