Well guys I got a call from my daughters schools principal yesterday and my daughter got into a fist fight!
First thing she has been taught to try and work things out without violence. She has been trying to do this for a week with this girl. I won’t go into detail on what the issue is but I understand why they were mad at each other.
Second she has been taught to stand her ground and defend herself and this is what she did.
Yesterday she was confronted by this girl and a couple of her friends. The other girl through the first slap my kid through the next punch and the fight was pretty much over. Teachers broke up the fight and took both girls to the principals office.
Long story short, this is how IMO things should be resolved. Guns, knives or any other weapon should not be in any child’s hands in schools. Work things out with conversation and if it can’t be then go toe to toe.
I was taught this and so has my kid. I’m proud of her and the girl she got into the altercation with because they worked out their differences in a way I agree with.
When I got home from work and sat down with my kid and we talked about what happened and get this. She said she was happy that it was finally over and that the other girl and her apologized to each other and she thinks that they both will get over this and that they are probably going to be friends again.
