8/8/2019 When Things Get Hectic Socratic Prep Materials

1/18

All of a sudden the girls didnt want to play anymore and it wasnt that sunny. I never knew

things could get to that point so fast. A dirty look setting bullets off didnt make any sense. Whatif they had caught us from behind? What if they had shot one of the girls? What if my mother

had been standing there? (22).

Kids nowadays are ready to kill each other over the dumbest things. I know a lot of kids who

are scared one day they are just going to get blasted for something stupid like that. There are so

many other kids out there with guns, knives, and short tempers (22).

I look at it this way: If I am going to have beef I am going to have beef worth having. Not over

a girl, a bad skeem, a stupid remark, or any other petty things. I am going to make sure before I

go all out that its for a good cause. What is a good cause for me? Somebody trying to kill me,rob me, or anybody that touches my mother (24).

You should only try to get respect if disrespected, without letting things get out of hand. Im notsaying its easy, trust me. Nowadays there is no respect, everyone wants to be bigger than the

next guy. But real people keep it real (24).

We should all try to calm down. Violence wont solve anything in the long run. We have togrow up and realize there are other ways to solve a problemtalking it out and mediating and

sometimes even ignoring it. Weve got to try to remember a lot of kids are getting killed over

little problems that could have been easily solved (24).

If my boys have beef again Ill be there asking mute questions that come out too late. Its like a

reflex. It shouldnt be, but it is. Your boys are your boys. I do stop to think about it, but onlyafter its too late, after the damage is already done (25).

We all have one life to live, lets keep it real. Cause I am tired of trying to figure out colors anddesigns for my friends memorials. Wouldnt you be? (25).
