Solving Problems

In my life, I have several ways to solve problems. For example, I can talk with the person and ask her if he or she forgives me or if we can get to an agreement. If the conflict is more severe, we can ask for help from other people or authority. Sometimes, I get mad very fast, so I yell at the person instead of calmly try to talk with the person and get top an agreement. I consider this as a bad habbit. Obviously, if I am under pressure I use strategies that give more accurate solutions, I may go with the faster way, so the problem is solved faster, and I get out from the pressure. For example, if I know I am not going to get to an agreement with someone I may ask for help first, instead of talking with the person. If I ask for help to someone it would be my parents or a very special friend. This is so, because this are the people I trust most, and I know they are not going to say to anyone else without my permission.

I remembered a problem I had when I was in fourth grade, three years ago. Two more friends and me, told something to a friend she didn't like. We told her tattletale for saying something to the teacher we didn't want her to say. We told her that because were very angry that she told to the teacher we weren't paying attention in class, we were talking while the teacher was talking. After the mistake was made, we tried to get to an agreement, but she went to the principal and told her what had happened. The next day, we were send to the principal's office and had a talk. We were punished by the school, and by our parents. My parents were very mad at me, I talked with my mom and told her that the problem was minimum and that she was forming a pandemonium for something very, very small! My mom came to the school and talked with the principal, but the principal told her I had no excuse for telling that to the girl. I felt very bad, it was the first time I was sent to the office and I was scared they were going to punish me hard. At the end, they only gave a recess detention, but I was still very scared. After, we talked with the girl we had the problem with and everything was fixed.
