Growing up as a kid, I'm always on my own, very calm and quiet, I was not the type that keep much friends, just me, my novels, and my lane. While growing up I have two things I'm good at, one is staying on my own and second is minding my own business but even at that you don't cross over my boundaries or will you ride over my Right. Because of my way of life people find it difficult to associate properly with me and you know what next, when it get to do with students they will always look for your problems to see the worst part or the bad part of you. I tried as much as possible to avoid fighting, but then they always push me to the wall.

So, some time in my primary school days during class 5 there's this guy by Name Emmanuel who is very Fair in complexion, so one day to some of my classmates motivated him to go and occupy my space where I have been sitting actually that was after the break period, so I returned from library and when I saw him, I asked him to leave that I now want to sit down but he gave deaf ears to that, I stood for a long and asked him for the very last time to leave my space, then he decided to ask me what will I do if he refuses to stand up like really, I was upset and I needed to use someone to set an example. Then I dragged him out and up, I gave him three slap and this was ridiculous because of how fair the guy is, my hand prints was all over his face, then he left leaving me to feel bad for those actions. I never told my parents at all, but how they get to realize about that surprised me. The following morning the guy and his father appear before our home. At that moment I knew I'm finished. How after the meeting with our both parents we settled the difference and maintain peace.
After this incident, my parents call me gave me full portion of advice and made me to promise to them that no matter what it may be that I will never ever run in to a fight again in my life, which I have to promise them not to fight again so, since that day I don't involve myself in fighting and I always stay off fight, this lead me to an extent that I can't separate two people fighting it can be outburnt and reach you wish can be dangerous sometimes. So from that very Day till date I have never engage in a fight. And let me not forget to inform you that the looking for troubles stopped immediately after that incident. I will always tell people try as much as possible to avoid physical fight it is so badly that you can be injured or probably get killed. There are Alot of stories about fight separater, how people go to separate people who are fighting and the person will end up being hurt.
