  2. 2 years ago one of my friends was about to get in a fight with another person because of some he said she said stuff,so when my friend got all up in the other person face i had to grab her and get her to walk away.I told her that nobody is worth your time of you getting in trouble over.

  4. a few weeks ago one of my close friends was about to get in a fight with another guy over a girl because she was cheating on him with the other guy, so then when my friend was looking for the other guy to fight, i grab him and picked him up and brought him back where he was and told him its not worth fighting over a girl, especially when its a girl that flirts alot with other guys, there are alot more girls out there for you, she not the only one.

  5. Last year my best friend was constantly being bullied and she couldn't take it so she went and confronted the girl(s)and the altercation turned into a bigger altercation. Me being as conservative on the situation as I am,I pulled her back and told them to stop and that they both need to chill out.I told the girl she was wrong and that she needs to chill. I walked my friend home and on the way, I told her that people are going to talk about you for the rest of your life you just have to let stuff roll of your shoulders. Pick and Choose you battles.

  6. A million different thoughts race through my head(half not even relating to the situation). But first and foremost, I try to calm myself down as to not increase tension and conflict. Then, I either walk away from the situation or direct the situation away from fighting sono one gets the chance to fight.If either of these methods don't work, I usually just stare them down til they walk away or do not want to fight. This also works if people want to fight near me.

  7. Like a couple of weeks ago, this boy called my friend Destiny out of her name. Destiny is crazy, so her natural instinct was to go off and attack. When she started to run up on him, I prevented the fight by pushing her away, and talking to her on the side to calm her down.

  8. my best friends were fighting for weeks and in was stupid. I was in the middle of it all and I hated to see my friends fight. So one day i stepped up and said this isnt the friend I know and love so they reconcile their friendship and every one was happy.

  9. Last week in the school cafeteria a boy threw a dirty paper towel at a friend of mine so my friend confronted him. They got into a big argument and almost fought. Even though i was upset at the other boy i told my friend to be the bigger person and avoid the situation. Him being the bigger person did what i told him to and he avoided the consequences that could of happened.

  10. Well , this is a kwinky dinky.I recentenly prevented a fight from happing at norcross. Heres the story two girls were best friends and one of them was talking/ telling her secrets behind one of there backs(which isn`t right).so one of the girls confronted the other and startied shouting and calling names ,then I being there (the mediator) helped them figure out whats was going on and the conseqeunces of getting in a fight. Although they didnt care like most kids i found a way to make them compermise.

  11. a couple years ago my best friend was about to get into a fight of sum crazy things that was going around the school. So i was like people can say what they want to say but if you know that it aint true then don't even worry about it.So she was like ok but then i had found out that she had went behind my back and tried to confront the person who started it.While the person who was telling me this it was going on at that moment. So i had ran down the hall and told her stop and i had asked her what was she doing, and she was like she was just asking but the other girl had got mad when she asked her and made a huge seen and so i grabed her and we went to class and i calmed her down. I listened to everthing she had to say and i gave her more advice

  12. One time I prevented a fight when one of my friends accidentally broke my other friend's bow and arrow. Although my friend apologized many times, my other friend just did not listen got madder and tried to pick a fight. I decided enough is enough and stopped him saying:"Dude, you need to chill; you guys are friends and you should not let material possessions get in the way of that."
    He calmed down afterwards and apologized. We looked at the bow and figured out it wasn't actually broken and we laughed.

  13. one time i had to separate two of my friends from a fight durinq 7th grade and once i calmed them down i talked to both of them at separate times. They were about to fight over a guy and i told them there are plenty of fish in the sea and that they shouldnt waste their time on something not even worth it. At the end they weren't friends but they kept their distance and they didnt start any more problems after that.

  14. When a situation occurs that seems like it will end badly I think of the consequences. I know that every actin has an equal consequence. One day my brother and I had a big argument and we couldn't work things out. so I said to him that we need to figure this out by ourselves so mom doest find out and we both get in trouble.

  15. My brother and I fought many times in the past. It was natural for us to fight over little things, but I would never let him fight on his own with someone. My thought process is usually to, first find the conflict, and second, find a clear solution where both people are okay.

  16. I have fought with my brother a many of times. We always have a conflict, whether it's big or small we always blow it out of proportion. A few days ago my brother and I had a disagreement. We where about to tussle but then I mentioned to him how silly are argument was. We both realized that fighting wouldn't solve and anything, so instead we both talked it out and came to an agreement.

  17. I have dealt with many situations where two individuals were not on good term. In gymnastics I was the leader of my group and one of my teammates had an issue with another member. I wanted them to see that their problem was simple to solve. I had them talk to an adult about the problem and three days later it was taken care of.

  21. last year i broke up a fight my friend was fighting some other dude so i went and set them apart i talked to my friend but it was to late because he got in trouble..but i did the rite thing

  22. My thought process of confronting a potential fight is not necessaryly getting in between them and telling them to stop because that might lead to me getting injured if they fight. But instead i would pull one of them back and tell them hey don't fight here. Depending where the location is i make up an excuse for them not to fight there. I talk to the person and tell them if that person is really worth you getting injured or ending up in jail or getting suspended from school. That usually always works.

  23. i think about what the concequence would be if i do start this fight. I also try to resolve the conflict without fighting. Lastly, I would tell an adult so the situation will not get out of hand.

  27. Just the other day, my mom and my sister were arguing about whether my mom should let my sister go to a friend's house or not. The argument quickly heated up and they eventually began yelling at each other. After listening and analyzing the argument, I approached them in a tactful manner and got them both to stop yelling. I let them know that yelling at each other wasn't going to solve anything. I then helped them talk out their sides of the argument and come to a resolution.

  28. The other day my little sister and I got into a fight over who should watch TV. I had been there first so instinctvely I brought that up, but soon after I realized that this was not something that was very important to me, so I just let her watch TV.

  29. There was this one time when I saw my cousin was talking back to a girl outside of school, and it turned into something serious. I was walking by and couldn't help but notice and try to see what is going on. Then her right there in the middle of the room trying to pull her hair, and I told my friend to pull my cousin away so that I could pull the girl away too. After that i told them to apologize to each other, and ever since they ended up being best friends until the present times.

  31. 8th grade we were playing basketball and a foul was called it was a hard foul, it was my friends and i vs some random guys at the park, the game was close and we only had 3 points left to win, so the guy on the other team goes up for a dunk and intentionally throws my friend half way across the floor, in my mind i was ready to fight him, i had my hands clenched tight, my fists throbbing and adrenaline flowing all through me, i was about to open my mouth to speak when i realized, that this fight wasnt worth it, and as soon as i finally recollected my self my friend was charging across the court to come and give this guy a real butt whooping, knowing that tthe fight wasnt worth it, its over a call that the loosing team made in the last few minutes of the game so pulled my friends aside and i said lets not let them get us on their level, and i told them the best way to show them that we are the better team is to destroy them, and thats exactly what we did, fair and square and no violence

  32. One time i prevented a fight was in the 9th grade.I had two friends that were girls and they were about to fight in the middle of the atrium.I didnt want either of them to get paneled so i pulled one of my friends bookbags to my direction leaving a big space between them so they wouldnt get to hit each other.That gave some time for them to not fight and for teachers to quickly come.They got in trouble but atleast they didnt get kicked out of school.

  33. A few years ago i had to pull my friend apart from another girl because they were about to fight for something that didnt have no sense. so i told my friend if it was worth fighting for something that had no sense and they both ended up apoligizing because they realized that their was no point for fighting.

  34. a year ago some of my friend was fighting because the other called her boy friend ugly.i first sat with then one by one then started talking to then. so then i told the first girl that it doesnt matter what the other girl says because if u know it not true then dont believe it , and i told the other girl that you shouldnt judge other people if u dont know then and it wont feel good if he can up and toold her that she was ugly, so then they admit they was sorry and that they will start being nice and start over as friends.

  36. I had to seperate my brothers from fighting. The reason they were fighting was because they were fighting over a toy. i seperated them and didn't give them back the toy until they compromised and promise to take turns.

  37. Being a pacifist my first reaction to a fight, mine or otherwise, is to figure out a non violent solution/compromise that everyone will like. If that doesn't work, I'd just walk away

  38. A couple weeks ago, my best friend wanted to fight over some he-said-she-said drama, and i sat her down and explained the concequences to her, and tolder her to confront the girl in a non violent way, because she can get herself in more trouble than expected. so she confronted her and she was never saying anything about her. so it would of been pointless if they were to fight, she would of gotten in trouble for no reason. : )

  39. Once, I was able to prevent two of my friends from getting physical in a fight in 5th grade. They were about to fight over something pointless and I told them that the consequences were going to make them regret it later. We all still got OSS for one day because there was a little bit of shoving involved, but it was nothing compared to what would have happened if I didn't step in and intervene.

  40. a few years back my brothers was fighting over a material thing. what i did was acted as the mediator, i steped and first i let one at a time tell when what the problem is, then i said to then each what do they thing the solution should be and then after hearing both side i came up with a anagrement that they both can sign off on and say they would want that too, so in the end i told then that what if they take half and so then each person who have some and wont have to fight anymore and they said ok and went on with there lives.

  41. The argument was about a person not being reasonable even though they them selves knew it so i had to talk to my friend to let it go that there is no point of wasting your time on people who dont want to except their wrong and that by listening to them its just going to cause you more trouble then its really worth.
