Guilty. I felt so guilty that day. The day I was embarrassed in front of my class. That day made me feel so guilty about what I did to her. Her name was June, the same name as mine. And what I did, I wish I could take back….forever. It was when I bullied her. I had made her feel the pain and sorrow I had felt. My life isn’t perfect, and me putting all the pain onto her made me feel gloomy. I felt like my family...rough and not caring about anyone. So now, I plan to make things right. In school today, I hoped to go to June T and apologize to her for how I acted. Things looked fine and I could see June T in her desk, ready for the school day. I was walking up to her until I was stopped by 3 kids. The shortest of the 3 had come up to me and sneered, “Well, if it isn’t June the fool.” The other …show more content…
I wasn’t going to let them get to me, but of course, I couldn’t hold my anger in. “AND!?” I yelled at them. Anger rushed all over me as I began to stomp towards them. The 3 kids started to feel afraid, so they quickly ran back to their desks like cowards. I was done for the rest of that day and thought the apology can wait. The next day was the same, me feeling angry and guilty. I thought it would be better if I apologized to June T on the phone without any distractions from the kids at school. I had seen June’s address when I was tormenting her, so I checked the phone book for her phone number. I had found it and was about to call her in my room until my parents started yelling at eachother. I dropped the phone and ran downstairs. I decided to go downstairs and make it stop, but my dad only yelled at me and told me to go to my room. Once again, I couldn’t hold my anger in, so I stomped off upstairs for the rest of night. Another chance blown. I was getting sick of it, there’s always something interrupting
I didn’t answer. I could hear his deep concern in his voice. I felt bad however, I didn't want to deal with all of them right now. I turned over to face the wall so that they hopefully got the message.
After the situation, I didn't know how to react. There was many ways I could have handled the situation, but anger took over. I wanted to know what would hurt them the most. I didn't want a "I'm sorry" or any explanation, really I just wanted them to cry. I know if he would have seen me with someone else it
I felt embarrassed. I wasn’t doing anything out of the blue, I was doing what I had done everyday. At this point, I had knew things were getting pretty bad. My parents continued arguing everyday over financial issues and as to why the house was dirty, and everyday it got worse.
I immediately became still. She continued on as I tried to shut it out. My blood was beginning to boil. I contained myself, I was known for being able to control my "slowfuse" temper and myself.
I stood up slowly, not daring to make any noise that would alert them of my presence. I walked quietly over to where I thought I heard their voices coming from. The youngest one was wearing some kind of ridiculous costume that shone in what little amount of moonlight there was, so they
Robby yelled to the entire class that I called Dana a whale. Robby laughed, but she cried and ran to the bathroom so she could be alone, and the rest of the class gasped because they were surprised. Once we got called into the hallway, after talking for like 20 minutes, she told us we were getting a detention. I did not admit to it because I did not want to get in trouble, although I did call her it. She gave us a paper to write to apologize to her but I did not admit to saying it, so I had extra work to do. She gave me an entire extra paper to do, which wasn't hard but was still more work, so i didn't like it. Calling Dana a whale was a mean thing to do, so I wish i wouldn't of done it. But, Robby does not feel the same way. He still calls
I made it my obligation to undo my wrong and be more of a leader and was able to have others follow by example. By being more friendly and thoughtful the individual was able to feel some relief and make new friends while attending school. By me being in this situation at a young age help me become fully aware of what I wanted to do in life which is helping others because of me helping and supporting this individual it made me feel positive about my change in uplifting another human being. The impact it has had on my view of bullying and torment to others now that I am older and more, wiser is when I’m in a situation where I’m thinking cruelty or someone is being cruel in my presence. I always think back to fifth grade and put myself in that persons position I also believe that this life experience will go a long way in helping others to the best of my ability with their problems or issues they are dealing with by looking beyond myself and helping my future patient I’m able to look beyond myself I feel I can be more useful and valuable to my community and peers I can teach them my life experience and what I learned so they won’t have to make the same mistakes that I have , I want my experience that I faced to change
Chen. Another teacher followed up, he was the 6th graders’ PE teacher I suppose. I stood back up, and I wiped off the little blood coming out of the wound on my lip created by the 6th grader’s scratches while he was on the ground. Mr. Chen took me and my classmates aside, he asked: “What happened over there?” One of my friends answered: “ We were playing basketball at the court first, then they came, and want us to leave the court for them to play. Michael refused, so he punched him, and they just got in a fight.” “Michael,” he then turned to me, “ Even though it is just self-defensing, but you could’ve just run and find me to solve the problem, and you won’t get hurt, why didn’t you do that?” I looked into his eyes, and I said determinately: “I can’t be a coward in his memory, I have to show him what I got, so he won’t try to bully me next time I see him in this class. Plus, a man won’t run from a fight.” At the end, I did not get in trouble for fighting, and those 6th graders have never mess with me again.
Riley tackled the jock, revealing the identity of the other kid; it was Keith. Riley mounted the jock and started wailing on his face, Riley was tall, 6,4 to be exact, which restricted the jock from pushing him off. The jock was screaming and crying, his face was a bloody mess. Riley had an evil frown on his face while unleashing the flurry punches on the guy. Not long after this, teachers started pouring into the crowd and pulling Riley off the jock, I looked around for Keith but couldn't find him no where. The kids left and sat at their tables. Riley and the jock were dragged out of the lunchroom by the teachers, since all of my friends were no where in sight, I decided to skip school. I went to the spot me and the guys always hang out at, It's an abandoned bridge in the woods, we always smoke and drink there, and talk about how much we hate ourselves and how much we hate others. When I got there I encountered Keith, he was wiping blood off his face and having a smoke, cursing under his breath. I walk up to him and make conversation. "Hey man, are you okay? It looked pretty bad out there". "Nah man, I'm fine. The fucker got in my face and started talking major trash, I didn't even say a fucking
I made sure I was able to respond in a way that I did not disrespect her in any shape or form. even though when everybody left the room a few tears came down my face, but not because my feelings were hurt from her yelling at me. It was due to the combination of high stress levels and anxiety my paper that I was attempting to write had given me. the stress was really impacted me so hard because me being only a child I never really had to endure any stress so the stress was all new to me. I wanted to ask my mom to really help me because the stress didn 't feel good at all but it was no way I could have a dialogue with my parents at all given that I grew up in a authoritarian home so that means whatever they said was the way things were going to go no matter what. so my back was basically against the wall so only thing I could do is be highly submissive to my parents and just do what they say and try to fix my paper. Since I was, calm spirited I was able to think and come up with the answers that my mom was really looking for out of me. after I got it right I was overjoyed and it made me feel great that I actually got it right at such a young age. So at the end it turns out my mom really did have a positive impact on my writing
I woke up this morning to find myself in my best friend’s house but I don’t remember going to her house either but I’m at home now. She was sitting in the room waiting for me to wake up and when I did, the first thing I noticed was the handcrafted chair in her room; the back is curved outwards and the legs are engraved with an elegant flowery pattern; the girly items aren’t really my kind of thing but I do like the chair. After having studied the chair for a few seconds I looked up into Hannah’s eyes and asked her how I got here. Although I was interested I didn’t really pay much attention to what she was saying. Turns out that the argument happened yesterday and it’s about the time I got home the night before- just as I thought. Apparently after I stormed out of the house I got a bus to her house and told her everything. It all happened when we were eating dinner and after Hannah telling me what happened or at least what I told her last night, I’m starting to recall what happened but I still can’t remember what it was that got my parents started.
On the Monday October 27th, 2014, for the first time in 4 years I did not wake up at 5:30 in the morning, I was not putting on a green skivvy shirt and shorts. There was no formation, no one that was higher command I had to report to, telling me where I had to go, what time I had to eat breakfast, what was I doing this day or what our platoon plans were for the day. There were no PT (physical training) I had to do this morning. Instead, I woke up grab a regular t-shirt, khaki shorts, and my two sea bags full of clothing and gear that I collected during my time in the Marine Corps. I threw everything in my vehicle and drove from Camp Pendleton, California to Quincy, Illinois. Within two weeks I was accepted to Southern Illinois University Carbondale. For three days, I stayed at the
As I walk into Hazen and begin my high school journey I think to myself what I want to accomplish when I leave. Hazen is like the older sister I never had, someone who you hate occasionally, but look up to and pushes you to achieve your personal goals. As I walk through those Highlander doors I was immediately surrounded by the brightest minds, talent, and innovative bunch of my generation. Each one unique and each one having something special to offer, and I soon realized that I want to leave high school like I was never leaving. By making the most out of my high school experience I want to gain maturity and the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference in my school and community. By becoming a member of the National
This made my parents mad and they went into my sisters room to talk to her and after that, I felt guilty about what I said and I told my parents the truth that it wasn’t all her fault and that it was my fault that we were screaming at eachother and my parents were still mad at me but
After half an hour of waiting for someone to call and my sister and dad to come home also thinking about what to do. I gave up and went to take a shower. When I came out, my bed was made and my mom called me down for breakfast, which I didn’t feel like having. I just drank a glass of orange juice. My mother went to the porch to sit. After a few seconds I decided to join her. Since I had nothing better to do at that moment, I asked her where my sister and dad had gone. All she said was “I don’t know”. I gu...
