Conflicts

With Middle School, comes many conflicts between many different people. And it happens all the time and at any place. Also between people that were the best of friends to people that were the worst of enemies.

Sometimes it has purpose, sometimes people are bored so they decide to start stuff. Sometimes there are the people who are too dramatic and take everything too seriously and tend to over analyze things. Sometimes there are they people who don't take anything seriously, and that tends to make people angry.

Then there are the different types of conflicts;

There are the ones that last a period. Those are the ones that tend to be over the little things. But I wouldn't take them for granted. Too many of them, and your friendship with that person could be over.

There are the ones that last about a day. Then when you get home you both realize how dumb it really was, and that it wasn't a big deal. And you see that your friendship with that person is stronger than that.

Then there are the conflicts that finish friendships. Those are the big fights that a lot of people tend to but into. Those fights are the ones that usually are actually over a big topic.

The fights that end friendships are usually on trust issues, like someone you thought was your best friend that told people one of your secrets. Or sometimes it not really a big issue, but the people in the fight think it's a big issue. Like fighting over guys and girls.

Sometimes conflicts lead to violence. Many people see fighting or physical violence as a way to solve their problems. I for one don't see that solving anything. I feel it only increases the problem and sometimes it even pulls other people into the problem because they want to be a good friend and stick up for their friend. It can also get you in a lot of trouble. And you could get some privileges that are important to you, taken away. Some people can get very seriously hurt too. Not many people see or feel the pain that person just went through. It can really damage someone.

I feel that conflicts in general should just stop. If everyone cared, and everyone tried, I think everyone could get along with everyone. Things in Middle School would be a lot less stressful too. That would give the students more time to focus on their academics and higher their grades.
