Fight Fight Fight!

2 girls got into a heated argument today before class started. It was the scariest thing ever. They kept getting closer to each other, puffing out their chests, and using louder cussing. There was a lot of pointing and stepping back and forth. The factors that made it scary:

1. They were way bigger than me.
2. A crowd formed and blocked the doorway. I couldn't get kids in or out. Other teachers couldn't get in or out.
3. I had no idea what they were yelling so I could not deescalate.

By the time I got to the girls, I could do nothing. It was past the point of deescalation. I just needed security to get them out of there. Thank god for the security and administration stepping in. It was either going to be me or one of the girls getting hurt.

That was an awful experience. My adrenaline was going and I felt all shaky trying to get calm and start class. Everyone wanted to know and I had no idea expect that it was over. Thank goodness one of the girls has been switched so they are not in the same class anymore.

That was the first ever real fight I've been around. What would you do?!

In a related thought, could this be you?

Sometimes, that is true. Sorry.

Maybe that is why there are cat-fights at school. It's just too boring.
