Reaction to Fight

• One day at school you notice a huge ring of students jostling and pushing. As you get closer, you hear some of the students yelling “Fight!” Like the rest, you want to see what is happening. Finally finding a vantage point, you see two students threatening one another. One is a good friend; the other is a former friend and current enemy who owes you money. What will you do?

Choose from the following:

1. Turn away and leave because the fight does not concern you and getting involved will only mean trouble.

2. Convince a couple of friends to help you separate the two students before they hurt each other.

3. Get into the fight on your friend’s side and punch out the former friend who owes you money since he deserves it.

4. Punch out both students to show the rest of the school who is the toughest kid on campus.
