Sometimes,I can get very angry with someone.It might be my little sister or my big brother,or even my pet dog or cat!
Last Friday,I helped my parents sweep the floor.When I was ready to have a rest,my big brother threw some pieces of paper on the floor.What a mess!However,he thought it was fun.I got so angry with him that I broke a window in the house although I knew it was a terrible thing.
My mom let me sit down and said to me,“Nick,breaking things is never the right way to solve a problem.” When Dad came home from work,he told me that I would have to use the money I got for my twelfth birthday to buy a new window.How upset I was!Then he said to me,“Using words is always better than hitting or fighting.If you were angry with John,why didn't you tell him about your feeling?When you do bad things out of anger,you will always feel sorry for them.”
Although I'm still a little sad,I will always remember what my parents told me that day.
