Oh, I think how I might have grown in those bad situations. I am very good at losing sleep over pending situations. It's always good to be honest with yourself and whatever is going on. But generally, I freeze and just want to get out of the situation. However, there have been times I just have a few one-liners that might stun whoever is trying to make matters worse. This happened during my student teaching at a high school. I had broken up a girl fight in the hall. And this one girl was such a bully (taller than me and thought she probably had the upper hand, and it must have been my fault that she was suspended yet still showed up for my class ) She tried to hackle me during class and I responded with a smile, "So are you that good with pets? Looks like that dog of yours is cheating again." Immediate applause from the rest of the students who really did want to get back to discussing Animal Farm. And she didn't have a comeback. The point is sometimes you just roll with it. You'll find we do become different characters in our own life.
These days you have to be careful there is a lot of violence going on even in schools

Es terrible cuando te hacen buling. Como lo viví se como te sientes. Pero lo mejor es seguir adelante. Te mando un beso. https://enamoradadelasletras.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWow, what a clever comeback for that student! Not to mention breaking up that fight. Ellie, you have seen some things!
