The truth of the matter is that there hasn't really been all that much violence in my life so far. I mean where I grew up, and in my community there was virtually no harsh domestic violence. Of course growing up I have seen all different sorts of violence. However these acts of violence were not that serious. .
I have been involved in a couple of cases of school violence myself. In highschool I was involved in a verbal argument with another kid, in the middle of the hallway. However this act of verbal violence ended up with a consequence. I had to serve a Saturday detention from eight to twelve in the morning. Another case in which I was involved in an act of violence was a fight at school. I got into a little fight with another kid in my highschool over some girl. Now I look back at the situation and realize how stupid and ignorant the whole ordeal was. However at the time I thought that it was the only thing, and the right thing to do. This act of violence ended up in another consequence, imagine that. For fighting at school I had to go through with a three day suspension. I regret ever fighting in school, for the simple fact of the suspension that I was given. Through this experience I have learned not to fight in school, and that fighting anybody is a stupid decision.!.
I have learned for the most part, to be passive in the acts of a fight.
Another example in which I was apart of some kind of violence, happened a couple of years ago. Up till now I have played soccer and baseball my whole life. This incident happened while I was playing soccer. It was winter and we were indoors. The game was knotted up with a score of four to four. I must admit that when I am involved in a very competitive situation I can get violent. Anyways the game was tied and the other team had the ball. This game was a very important game in a national tournament and determined who would go on to the next round.
