It is wrong to fight

Charlotte's argument writing piece on why it is wrong to fight.

I’m not sure anyone could disagree with this statement because fighting is very wrong - there’s nothing good about it. Fighting helps people get their emotions out, but the fact that they hurt someone else doing it just makes fighting horrible.

Everybody fights. Whether it’s a verbal fight, a cyber fight, all the way down to physical fights.To be honest it’s a natural defence and everyone does it. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had a fight before because even the little punches and kicks can lead into a gory battle. Just because everybody fights it doesn’t make it right or something you should do. Even little things can lead into a big drama - for example you may just be playing a fun game of push and shove but it could become more and more violent until someone gets hurt even if it was just a mistake. Sometimes kids recognise it was an accident and say sorry but then again it could get worse and worse. You have got to know when to stop, when it’s getting too hurtful.

Another bad thing about fighting is it’s a bad influence on younger kids. At the age of 5 you should not know all the swear words and you should not know to kick someone somewhere ‘inappropriate.’ Little kids need a clean life so they can feel safe growing up. A lot of the time a bad childhood leads to a bad life. At young ages kids kids also don’t know that it’s bad or not so they can go around saying something rude not even knowing what it means. You might think it makes you look cool and tough but it just shows you’re being a bad person. Kids need a nice life without all the fighting going on around them, otherwise they will just learn that’s the way of life, which it isn’t. If you have to fight then don’t do it around kids cause you don’t know what’s going on inside their tiny brains.

My last reason would have to be representing yourself. Lots of people think they are cool when they try to foot trip someone but they are really not. People end up with no friends because everyone is scared of them. One thing that everyone my age does is swear, even if it’s just once or twice. It’s really not a good habit to get into (I sound like an old granny saying that). Most people when in a fight don’t think of what to say so they just say the rudest thing possible.

So that pretty much sums up why you shouldn’t be fighting. It can hurt other people and yourself, trust me you don’t want to end up the bully.

You’ll find you’ll have a better life if you don’t fight.
