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.
