After the author said that he had recovered medically, his friends felt the best way to resolve the problem was to, "Go get those guys!"
When our Volleyball team was playing a neighboring school they set up the gym to bother us during our match. They wanted to distract us as much as possible to cause us to loss our game. Some of the girls on my team started to yell back at them and we really started to let them get under our skin. The game quickly became frustrating and they were winning like they wanted to. Our coach called a timeout and told us that we need to keep calm and play our game. Yelling back at the people in the stands wasn't going to change anything about the game, however a way to get under their skin would be to play to our potential and ignore them. We went back out on the court blocking the fans out of our heads. We ended up winning the match and I feel we learned a valuable lesson!
Often young individuals look for revenge! I can remember many times when I was a teenager when violence seemed fesable. Its important for young generations to realize that violence isn't the answer. Its a challenge to change and adapt to realize what should be done and whats most important. Why do so many young individuals look to create violence among each other when other solutions could be used to resolve problems?
