As I stepped out of the school, I saw Ashish, Pawan, Aman and Vibhas arguing about something. Since my cab was late that day, I decided to go near them and take a stock of the situation. No sooner did I reach there I saw Vibhas punching Aman on his face. I was shocked to see the violence, poor Aman got a bruise on his right cheek. I stopped that very moment and decided to keep myself away from their fight as I could sense extreme aggression from their body language and gestures. I knew a bit about the bone of contention as Ashish is my friend and he told that Pawan and Vibhas had borrowed money from Aman and when he asked Aman to return his money, he denied.
My first impulse was to intervene and settle the matter, but seeing that it was delicate, I decided to stay away from the mess. At the same time, I felt bad about the behavior of the boys as due to their spendthrift nature, they have to resort to such unfair behavior. I can only pray for them, may God give them prudence and right direction.

Dear Diary:
Today I am going to share with you a very disappointing incident. As I was coming home after the school on my bicycle, I saw a crowd just a little distance away from the school. On reaching close to the crowd I found two groups of our school boys quarrelling and scuffling with each other. A few adult passersby were trying to pacify the enraged boys. I saw a few of my classmates also standing in the crowd. I went up to them and asked them the reason behind the quarrel. One of my classmates informed me the boys were fighting because at the school one of the boys had spoken rudely with another boy while buying refreshments at the canteen during the break. The boy who had been spoken rudely had told the matter to his elder brother. Now the elder brother along with a gang of other boys had stopped him on the way and forced him to say sorry to his younger brother. The boy who had spoken rudely was not ready to say sorry; as a consequence heated arguments had ensued followed by scuffling. Fortunately, the passersby had intervened. I felt really bad that such a trivial issue that could have been settled peacefully was blown out of proportion. How foolish the youngsters at times behave!
