I Can Do Anything Better Than You

As the end of school draws near, students get a tad bit antsy, whether at lunch in the cafeteria or in parking lot traveling to each class. Some of this behavior can lead to the traditional ZZZs in class or it can lead to the occasional ‘tension’ between friends.

 Although a little opposition in friendship can strengthen the bond, it may also grow and esculate into other mishaps that soon threaten the safety of students.

Instead of the old saying, “why can’t we all get along”, think about what is a better solution. Beating the snot out of some people seems appropriate at that particular time but other methods could just as well work.

Compromise a bloody nose with a can food drive. Make the world a better place while you try to beat the competition at the same time. The saying “killing two birds with one stone” never seemed so cliché.

Help the environment by seeing who can collect the most cans. Allow something good to come from the bad. Organize a drive to help raise money for Thank a Soldier, they would appreciate it. This solution is much more industrious then just gathering up a group of friends and intimidating others.

Be a productive citizen in the society and help others. Thank about the solution as a whole and make a sensible decision. Sometimes giving someone their ‘just desserts’ doesn’t have to be so painful on the other end.
