Strategies for Avoiding conflict

Aruguments and disagreements happen every day of everyones life pretty much. This is because no one shares the same exact point of view of everything. So conflicts and arguments happen easily. Everyone has a different of solving them. Some ignore them, some come straight with them, others apologize.

When i come across an argument or disagreement i have different ways of handling them. If i am arguing with someone, whether it be a friend or my dad, and I'm right im going to stand my ground. I won't back down until i get my point across to them. If the situation was i was wrong in the argument and it gets to far I will admit I was wrong. Sometimes when I argue with someone who I know never likes to be wrong I don't bother fighting over it because no matter what you say the are right. Like parents for instance. Whether they are completly at fault they are never at fault and it took me 17 years to finally realize this. So now when i disagree with my dad or argue with one of my parent i just apologize and leave it.

There has been many of times when i hang out with my friends I witness conflicts and i see whose right and whose acually wrong. When it comes to that I'll stay out of it. If it's not my problem then I shouldn't be getting involved. When you get involved words get twisted around and then next thing you know you're in the middle of the argument. So i choose to stay out of it unless one of my friends or someone has the wrong information in a situation then I will clear it up for them.

Visit a historical time

Looking back in history it is hard to decide where i would want to go back in time to. The 70's seemed so laid back and fun all the time. Cops didn't harrase you. Everyone seemed to be more friendly. I would also like to visit ancient Rome and witness how they built a masterpiece. If I had to choose a time from going back from a long distance it would be in 1776.


I would want to witness everything that lead up to the making of America. I would want to see how a bunch of farmers broke away from England. How they beat the best Army and the best Navy in the world. I would love to watch how they fought back then. Shoulder to shoulder staring down thousands of barrels a 100 ft away. Cannons going off behind them crashing into your front lines. Teams of snipers in the woods shooting generals of war. I think it is insane how a brand new country beat the British. I think witnessing that would be a crazy thing to experience.

If I had to choose from a short distance ago to go back and visit I would visit the bootlegging days. I think watching mobsters and smugglers bring in illegal alcohol. The Kennedys were one of the most wealthiest families. All their money was made from bootlegging alcohol. That is mind blowing to me. I would like to meet Al Capone and see what Bayville looked like back then. I would also like to see where he put the hidden money that no one has found. I would then come back to the future and take it!

Advice to a Younger self

I have made many of mistakes in the past. Who hasn't? I try to go everyday with no regrets, no what if i did that? What if i didn't do this? What if i talked to that girl? No one is perfect though and it's almost impossible to live life without any what ifs. If i had a machine to go back in time and give myself advice I would fix so many mistakes.
First time i would go back to is recently. I stopped going over my one best friends house for about a month or two. We were still friends but i just never had time to go over there. His mom and dad treated me like a son. If i had no where to sleep they would let me stay there. If i had nothing to eat they would give me food until i was full. They did alot for me. I was very close with his mom she loved me like a son and she was like a second mom to me. When i stopped going there i never stopped by to say hi to her. I didn't ask how she was doing. I couldn't remember the last time i seen her. If i could go back and give myself advice I would tell myself to go there and see her for one last time. She passed away and I couldn't even remember the last time i seen her and it was very upsetting to me.
Another thing I would go back and give myself advice on is school. From 1st grade all the way to sophomore year of high school i had amazing grades. I never got one C on a report card all those years. My grade point average was 3.5 starting off in high school. I was told my sophmore year if i kept my grades how they are(which in central is pretty easy) I would be able to go to rutgers. My SAT scores were 1200 I was set to go to college. Well junior year i started slipping up and all my grades crashed and that continued into my senior year. I would go back and tell myself to nto slip up and just do the work no matter how of a hassle it is.
