ECHOS OF CHILDHOOD ; OVERCOMING CHILDHOOD HABITS

Good morning everyone and welcome to my blog once again...

I will be sharing with us

one habit that got you into trouble several times as a kid but you couldn't just get rid of it easily. Tell us one of the experiences this habit landed you in, and let's know how you got rid of that habit.

As a child I loved fighting...I don't know because none of my parents have this traits so I was careful enough not to allow my parents know I usually fight... I don't fight when my parents is around because as a child then, they will beat me if I tried it...
So, most of the times I fought with my classmates in school without my parents knowing.

One thing my parents were certain about was the fact that I don't like trouble which is very true. Majority of the times, I don't start the fight, the tempt me to see my reaction... You know children nah, once they know that you don't like trouble, they will bring trouble to you.

I actually fought anyway, in church, at school, at home, inside the school bus, infact, I fight anywhere someone steps on my toes... I was always happy and sad because, people knew me for been a fighter and always hail me anytime I fought... But at the same time I was sad because this particular fight of a thing put me into many several troubles that got me suspended from school.. let's dive in and see what happened...

One day, I was on my own, very calm and quiet, that's my personality, I don't keep friends because they always led and encouraged me to do bad thing as a child then... I was a child but I wasn't stupid, I didn't allow anyone use my brain....

In a classroom of 35 pupils, I was sitting on my own and I heard and saw that my classmates were planning something about me that will led me to fight... The put money inside my school locker during break, and claimed the money went missing and that they are sure.... Before now, I had already gone to report to my class teacher what they did and she was like, "leave them alone they are just children and that they are just playing" I left her and decided to do what I knew how to do best.

After the accused me wrongly and laughed at me, I was so angry, I bit every soul that came to talk to me... I beat them with that anger and in the process nemesis caught up with me that day and my principal saw me.... Mind you, everyone knew my weakness which was fighting and I was suspended from school....

They called my parents and informed them, my parents were shocked..but thank God for they parents I have, they carefully sat down to ask me what happened.... I told them everything.... Fighting was one habit I had as a kid then...

Let me briefly share with us how I got rid of fighting
It was very easy for me.
First of all, my parents changed my school because it looked like the environment wasn't favourable, mind you, it was a government school which fighting is Normal,it was a private sector....
We discovered environment tends to affect people... I went to a new school for a fresh start and it was good.

Secondly, my parents taught me that anytime I saw a circle of people fighting, I should leave immediately, I shouldn't be a party to fight neither should I encourage it...

Thirdly, the environment I was didn't encourage fighting sef, it was a very discipline school, you don't try anytime that will discomfort any of your classmates or anybody.... The school was strict...

That was how I was able to get rid of fighting and now I can't even fight with my hands anymore, but I still fight with my mouth....
