I am Grateful For...

I am grateful for my family.  I know this sounds cliche, but I really am. I am thankful for them because the love me, care for me, make sure I'm okay, buy me the things I want/need. They love me and I love them.
 I am thankful for my grandma, she buys all the things I want, she loves me unconditionally, and I thank her for that. I am thankful for my mother, she cares for me, loves me, provides for me, for example, my house, my room, my clothes, my school supplies, she gets me the most important things, and especially she gave me life.
I am thankful for my sister, she played games with me when I was small, and showed me right from wrong as I grew older, she tells me what real friends are, and what fake ones are, she gives me advice, and even though we always get in fights, I still love her and I'm thankful to have her because if she wasn't in my life, I would be bored out of my mind.
I am thankful for my grandpa, he loves me, he spoils me, he fought for our country, I am very thankful for him. I am thankful for my uncle, he can be selfish at times, but when he isn't, he gives me and my sister money, and buys us things, even though he acts like a 3 year and is really 36, he makes things funny and fun, and I'm thankful for him.
I am thankful for all, my friends, because they helped shape the person I am today, they showed me what real friends are who friends were, who I should and shouldn't talked to, and I am thankful for each and everyone of them.
Last but not least, I am thankful for my best friend. Without her I would be know where, she makes me laugh, cry of laughter, she gets me mad, happy, sad, annoyed, but those are all the reasons of why I love her. So I can be thankful for many more things but I'd be writing a big book. So these are just a few things I'm thankful for.

News article: TWO 7TH GRADE STUDENTS GOT INTO A FIGHT?!

       June 1st 2016, Two heritage middle school students got into a fight. It was in the afternoon right after lunch when two 7th grade students got into it. Names were not released. One of the girls claims she was confronting the other. " So I heard that she was going around telling people that she was going to fight me on the last day of school. So I asked her why did she say this, and then when she made the first punch, so I ducked it and hit her back. My momma always told me that if anyone ever tries to hit me, then I should hit them back." Says one of the victims.      
         So after one of the girls made the first punch, the other ducked it and hit her back on the face, taking advice that her 34 year old mother gave too her. The same girl then grabbed the other by the hair then dragged her to the stairs. "I heard her hair ripping out because I was pulling it so hard. She kept trying to punch me and struggling to get out to fight me for real but she couldn't."
          A witness says "I thought they were going to knock me over and I would fall down the stairs. I left down the stairs as soon as I could." (Witness did not want to be named). Teachers tried to get the students off each other but it wasn't easy. A lunch lady at Heritage then got one of the girls off and calmed her down.
          Soon after the fight ended, the students parents came and talked to teachers and principals. According to the same victim "When I was in the office, the other girl got in trouble by her mom. We both had to stay on the office until our consequence was determined. My momma didn't have as much of a problem with this, because I was defending myself." The  student that was defending herself didn't get in trouble since she was defending herself. The other got suspended for the rest of the school year (only a school week). Most of the consequences were issued by parents and minor from the school their self.
