Why Fight?

Why Fight?

Angeles Vazquez (9th), Reporter

What are fights, and what do they mean? Fights happen all the time in everyday life and some people don’t know why and how. All fights have a reasoning to them even though some are foolish, are mistakes, or personal. I want you to think about fights, for example have you fought someone, seen a fight, or ever thought about fighting. I want you to think how it was at first, and then what happened at the end. Some fights end up good and some definitely don’t. Sometimes the people who fought become friends, or it either ended on a bad note.

Shana Chand, a freshman girl, stated ,“I think fights happen because people can’t talk out their problems.”

She also said for the second “Umm…I would fight for self defense, but otherwise no because that’s immature.”

The third question she answered with, “I think fighting is stupid because like come on don’t you got better things.”

The fourth question she responded “Of  course not you silly goose, I would never fight, what are you talking about!”

Finally, the last question she answered, “Sadly yes, OMG, it was crazy, that dude jumped on his back and started punching. I was not about that so I skirted out. Not trying shade, but that fight was the most pointless thing I’ve ever seen.”

Now for the second interviewer named Cesar Flores, another freshman stated, “People fight because they don’t like each other.”

Secondly he responded with “No, only if I had to since it could affect your future.”  

Next he started, “There stupid because either way it’s a loss, because even if you win, you still need to deal with the consequences of your actions in the future.”

The fourth question he answered, “Yes,  I have fought but only as protection and self defense.”

The last question he responded with, “Yes, I have seen a fight and it was funny.”

My next interviewer is an anonymous junior who stated“I think because people have different opinions and can’t come to an agreement, so they look for violence instead of an answer.”

The second question they said, “I wouldn’t fight, I’m not allowed to.”

The third question they stated, “I think they’re funny, but dumb.”

The four questions they responded with, “No, but I almost did, they were too scared of me so they can’t catch these hands.”

Finally the last they said, “Yeah, I’ve seen a fight and some were really bad. Don’t fight people.” *Laugh.

The last person I interviewed was my sister, Maria Vazquez, a High School graduate started, “Because people let themselves get hurt over unnecessary things that aren’t important.”

The second question she answered with, “Yeah, but only if it’s about family.”

The third question she answered with “Well, I think there dumb, because you shouldn’t let people walk all over you. It doesn’t matter what people say about you. Just be you!”

The fourth questions she responded with “No, because there is no need to fight over something dumb, you just talk it out and the problem is solved.”

The last question she stated, “Yes, I seen one but they usually don’t last long, so it wasn’t that bad.”

All these questions and responses are something we should all think of. Think to yourself how foolish and childish fighting is, and how they affect you and you future.

There are other ways to solve problems, one is just talk it out, that’s the most effective way to solve something. Why go through the hassle of fighting and adding more problems to yourself.

If you have fought someone for something dumb don’t put yourself down, just know that you don’t need to fight and know you learned from your mistakes. Fighting is never the answer, so instead of creating more problems, just talk it out but if that doesn’t work just go back to not talking to each other or seeing each other.

You could just go about your day and not think about the problem or the person, this could also help you. Thanks for reading my article and hopefully you’re mature and smart enough to not fight someone for something foolish and stupid. Hope you enjoyed this article.
