Telling On Each Other In Third Grade

They were telling on each other. He is annoying; always talking. I just want peace and quiet! He keeps tapping my desk. She is irritating. I cannot stand her. We do not get along. Why do we have to sit together? She pinched me, so I smacked her hard. My folks say to hit them twice as hard back even at school. It was a silly argument. They both ended up in tears. Drama in the third grade. The principal separated them. We took down their stories. Totally similar; both honest. This will eventually become true love I believe.

You have made a probable prediction, Caren ! Beginning in quarrel and ending up in love . This often happens. Your association with schools give you so many such interesting anecdotes !

haha. so funny how you ended it. Yes, they say the guys who treat girls this way are just trying to get her attention, but I had a few guys do really mean things to me, and it never went into anything good at all

I think there are several boys who want a girl's attention but have no idea how to go about it, thus, they do it negatively. You know what they say - any attention is good attention for some of them.
