When caught making a mistake, this friend thought that he would threaten and bully people around to take them down with him. He verbally confronted several kids, looking for blame in others to try to get himself out of trouble. This wasn't going so well because the kids who told on him in the beginning told on him again because of his threats. A vicious cycle - yes! I had to try to find a way to squelch this behavior and remind him that what comes around goes around. It worked. He got the gist. Check this out! Enjoy!
Today I made a poor choice. I ended up retaliating against some of my peers. I was mad because I got in trouble for saying something I shouldn't have said. Today I told kids," I know people that will beat you up if you try to get me in trouble." I also said that "I won't get in trouble, because I know Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones." Then I asked someone "Did you write the note that got me in trouble?"With that I added,"I am still stalking you."
I crossed a line today with poor judgment. I made a bad choice by threatening peers. When I get in trouble, I should try to learn from my mistakes and not make things worse. I should try to set a new course and stick with it. I should try not to dwell on what happened, but proceed with a plan, make a change and learn from what went wrong. I should never strike out against other people. This does no good.
I have room to grow with all of this. I know that my family and teachers will help me work through this. I can set a path for tomorrow and learn from what happened today. Tomorrow is a new day and I will try to think before words come out of my mouth
