So, I'm pretty sure I did a post on fighting with friends, but this one is strictly for siblings. This is because of a fight I just had with my younger sister. I'm not saying names or which sister. I am above that. But the fact is, I like to forget about a fight after it happens. My mom believes there should be a "talk" about it. Used to, it would end with us holding hands for a couple minutes(I hated that. My sister's hands always got sweaty, no matter which one). I believe that, in the event of the fight, someone should let those fighting fix it themselves. If htye stay mad, so what. I'm still mad at one of my sisters for refusing to let me on the play station 2 when she wasn't even going to touch it. Talking didn't fix it. It probably won't fix this.
I don't want to express the details of the fight, but it did end up with me hurt(not saying how or what type) and I probably won't forgive her for a while. Even though my mom wants to have a "talk" about it, I don't. I won't be happy and I'll end up crying. It's how my body works. I don't know why. But the problem is: I can't stop my mom from making me explain everything.
What if my sister and I figured "Oh, we can be mad all we want because mom will help patch things up." What about when we grow up and get jobs? If we fight then, our mom won't be there to help. To make it worse, we won't have any experience to help us do it ourselves. I wish people would consider that.
Anyway, please post your view: solve problems for children or let them solve it themselves when they're teenagers/preteens? Optional as always.
Oh, and please note that I probably won't be able to post every night(as you've probably figured). I'll try my best for at least once a week, though. More if possible!

Views on Society
I am so sorry that I did not post for an entire week. I meant to, really, but my stepdad was on Call of Duty and I'm not allowed to cause lag. Let's talk about this topic since I don't want you to think I'm just making up excuses.
I was supposed to write a paper on my views on a certain topic. I had a list of topics to choose from, and I was originally going to write about society. I found my views were not enough for a page and a half, so I switched to aging. Yet I want to write my views on society anyway because of the book we are writing it for, Tuesdays with Morrie.
In my eyes, society is very messed up. I think that it could be better. The government wants to "protect" kids from what is happening out in the world. No, they want to do it overall. So, they allow kids to cuss and yell at their parents, but the most that the adults can do is ground them, take away their cell phone, or remove Call of Duty for a month or two. Why? Because spanking a child is now child abuse. I'm only fourteen, yes. However, I think that spanking should be allowed. Don't think I'm for child abuse, but I know that if I was at risk of a spanking every time I lied or did something bad, I would never do it. Why? Because just the thought of the pain would scare me.
When my mother grew up, she would have liquid soap put into her mouth when she cussed because there wans't bar soap at her house. It was the worst thing ever, I imagine.
My math teacher actually told me that she got slapped the first time she cussed. But she never did it again.
So, why is it that they want to protect children when the child won't learn from the protection? They'll just do bad things again. Yet it's the government's choice. I think it should be the parent's choice, but whatever. It's not my place to speak. I'm just a fourteen-year-old freshman waiting to turn fifteen in January.
For this post's goal, why not give your view on society? I could have gone on for a while longer, but I don't want to annoy you. And remember, it's always optional!
