Am I in the Wrong?

[Little Tree]

Through out this past school year, I have been threatend more than my share. Many people have threatend to kick my ass, and other sorts. But I am a person of peace. I live by that old rule make love not war. Call me old fashioned. But I also don't like it when others are hurt. I would do just about anything so anybody wouldn't have to go through any physical or emotional pains. So through out this past year there have been several events that have occured that I have informed someone about so the threat could be neutralized. Now one of them was just a petty whos cooler fight, but still didn't want any one to get hurt. And I don't even really enjoy either of the kids company any how. But please understand I didn't tell to get them into trouble it was to keep them safe. But the other incedent was quite bad. There had been a fight between two kids. One from my town one from somewere else. Any way after the fight had ended, the winners friends reeked havock on the opponents friends cars. Kicking in windows, denting doors that jazz. Any way, the kid that had been hit apparently in a gang, or had gang aphiliations. So now this kid that won the fight was told that they were going to come and kill him. So it turned out that there was going to be pretty much a fight to the death between a bunch of kids from my town, versus a bunch from their town. Now I wasn't present at the time of the enitial fight, but my friend was, and he told me this whole ordeal. When I learned of it I was very afraid for many lifes. And then my friend said he was plaining to go to the fight also, said he was going to take his twenty-two. Any ways, I went and I asked if I could talk to our vice prince. later in the day. (I didn't want people to know that I was informing people about a gang fight, I don't want that kind of publicity.) Any way I told him, and He said that he had heard about it, and that the cops had been informed, they knew who the kids involved were, and that they were being watched. Now I think that I did the right thing, but Maybe I am trying to hard to make a difference... what do you guys think?

You did what you thought was right...I dunno if you're trying too hard or not..You're the one who can answer this question..I mean as a person from the outside I'd say you're not making too much of an effort,but if I was involved in that stuff and you told someone bout it I'd be really pissed off..

So all in all I can't really help you🙂

I agree with ana8, you are the only one who can decide if you are trying to hard. I definitely applaud your bravery for going to your vice principal and telling the truth. That took more guts than all these other guys who wanna fight put together. Personally I think you made the right choice (mind you this is coming from a future cop, so...). I think that you need to be careful though, there is no need to put yourself into danger for these other people who wanna bash each other's heads in.

Once again Beer_Nut takes the words right outta my mouth! (We seem to agree a lot you and I) Look, from what you've told us I don't see any evidence of you breaking the line between a concerned citizen and an out of control taddle tale. You seem to follow your intuition, to listen to that little voice inside that tells you what's right. I agree in that you need to be careful, as you said, you "don't need that publicity". But if it were me I would have done the same. God knows how many people could get killed at that testosterone fest. Encluding your friend. Beer_Nut pretty much said it, that took a lot of guts and not many people would have thought to do the same. I say GOOD SHOW! You're a very caring and benevolent individual and those are hard to find. 😉
