Most everyone has bin bullied at some time in his/her life, and most people will admit to bulling some one else or some people have witnessed others being bullied and will live to tell about it for years. Most of the people who were the bullies or the bullied will have regrets on what they did or did not do. Everyone has regrets and learns from their regrets that they have made. I no a regret that I have had was when I witnessed a fight at the movies between my friends from Smithtown and another group of friends from Ward Melville. This was a time that I witnessed a fight and I did nothing about it, also because there was nothing I could have done about it.
My friend Jill and I were at the movie one night over the summer and we were going to hang out with our friends there. We were in the back of the movies when we found out that some one from Ward Melville wanted to fight one of my friends from Smithtown. Now something you have to understand is that the kids I hang out with, have no feelings. They don’t care at all whom their going to fight as long as they fight to prove that there “tough” and so they can gain “respect”. I have always bin agents fighting and I hate it whe
After the “fight” was over, my friend who fought came up to me and asked me why I wasn’t there for him as support. What nerve he had to come up to me and ask me that. I just blew up in his face. “You know I don’t like it when you fight…and you know I am always here for you when you need me and I am always here for your support but one thing I won’t support you in is when you fight for NO REASON. Maybe if u had a reason and it was a really good one which I doubt there is a good reason for fighting I might have supported you. Fighting is not the answer and I’m sure there is another way to solve whatever problem you were having with that other person.” He just looked at me with hurtful eyes and the sorriest look on his face that you have ever seen. At that moment I knew he was the only one out of the whole group of “gangsters” who has feelings. Since I had him right were I wanted him, I grabbed him by the arm and I dragged him over to the kid he had beaten up and made him apologize to him.
Till this day I still wish that there were some way that I could have prevented the fight from actually happening. There was really nothing I could have done but I think I did what was right to make the situation a little bit better. Who knows…that kid that my friend beat up is probably a better person because of a simply apology. I leaned for
