P.S. 137 - My School, by Juan A.

Category: East Side Community High School, NYC

In my old school, I almost got into a fight because some body started throwing rocks at me. I said stop to him five times but he kept on throwing them at me. I got up and pushed him away and he pushed me back. I tripped him and tried to punch him but he blocked and pulled me down. As I fell I punched him. He grabbed me and punched me in my chest. I punched him in the face again and a teacher pulled him away. I got up and ran towards them and the other kids that were watching pulled me back and I could not move.

In the office that kid and I were sitting on a chair and we were waiting for the teacher to suspend us. We shook hands and said that we were going to never do this again.
