Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. Growing up, even as a kid, I was always stubborn but never let myself get into a fight because of how I have seen people get disfigured all in the name of trying to prove how strong they are. Fighting was not really my thing, but as kids, it was quite inevitable, as you will always have kids who believe that because you avoid a fight, it simply means you are scared of the other person or a lazy person and you are forced to go into battle to prove them wrong. Sometimes you come out victorious, and sometimes you end up proving them right. I learned to just leave people wondering if I am scared of the other person or not strong enough to fight them by avoiding fights.
From childhood till date, I can actually count how many times I have been involved in a fight aside from those interclass fights where probably primary 3A is fighting primary 3B. Aside from these fights, I always try to avoid one-on-one fights until they become inevitable and I just have to. You know one thing with humans is that they always try to push you over the edge to see how you would react, and if you react cold, they would do it again, but in cases where you serve it as hot, they get to behave and stop moving funny.
I do have friends who fought more than wrestlers and boxers while we were growing up; the part other kids played whenever they were at it was to either stop them from fighting or make them fight more. Sometimes making them fight more is an option we choose when we have done everything to get them to stop fighting, but they choose not to because one of them feels the need to clear the other person's doubt or have other kids convinced of how powerful they can be.
Trust me, fighting is not always the best thing to do. I am now a grownup and I even understand it better. I have seen fighting end up bad. Sometimes things you do not even intend to do end up happening, and at that point you are only left wallow in regrets. The best thing to do is avoid fights, as after the ugly situation nobody would even want to hear what you have to say. I will not say I am a fighter, but that does not mean I am not capable of fighting if the need arises; I avoid it because violence is not always the answer bro until it is.
The last time I was in a fight was during my high school days. I did not cut my hair to school, and the discipline master used scissors on my hair to get me to cut it since I was warned the previous week, but I did not listen. Since scissors were used on it, I was forced to clear my hair completely after school that day, making my head very shiny. I knew I was in danger for taking such a step as I have very crazy friends, and getting to school the following day it was like I expected, my friends rubbing my head, and all of a sudden a classmate I don't even talk to on a normal day just stood up and gave a very dirty slap on my head, saying it was a joke. Without asking any questions, I went to battle, and you will want to know if I came out victorious. Of course yes, I did, and since that day we became friends.
