Jealousy-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Sometimes you do not realize what you are getting into until it is too late. You have been so blinded in emotion that you do not realize what you are actually doing. This story is about the time I got into a fight from when I encountered the reasons for my actions, to when I fought, and the consequences that came with it.
One ordinary night, I was faced with one of the hardest emotions to deal with jealousy. It all started when I was at a party with my girlfriend, Monse, we had just sat down from dancing. When I decide to go to the restroom. When I came back I saw another guy in my seat trying to flirt with my girlfriend. That brought disturbing thoughts to my head, which made me react aggressively and I walked up to him and told him to back

He stood up and we looked at each other face to face. We both had a lot of fury in our eyes and looked like we were about to go at it. Until, my closest friend came up and pulled me away and told me it was not worth it to get in a fight with an idiot like him. So I did the mature thing and chose to forget that even happened but all night I had a sense of shame for not acting upon what he did but, I had a little sense of relief that I didn't have to worry about him completely ruining my night. Although this was not the last encounter that I have had with him. The next couple of days he made it his goal to bother me and sadly it worked. I would grow madder by the day until one day I was completely feed up and he went too far. He was touching my girlfriend while she did not want to be touch and she even was completely frightened when she told me. This just completely got me full of rage and I told him that if fighting with him would make him stop then a fight he is got himself into. I could not think straight since …show more content…
As they called my parents I could tell their disappointment in me. They showed up a couple minutes after and we went to the principal's office where he told me that was suspended and since it was one of the last days of school already. I would have to start next year in A.E.P and be there for 45 days. Although my time there was cut, it felt forever because I was separated from everyone and there was basically nothing to do. This effected all my classes and it had brought down my grades to where I would have to work really hard to even barely pass. Since I got in a fight it had a great big negative impact in life and only slowed me down in doing the things I wanted. After this I had realized that as my friend said the first time that is was not worth it and I slowly believed it.
That was the first time I had got in a fight and realized that I should never be driven by emotions that cloud my judgement. The lesson is that in times like these Is where you just have stop before you do anything dumb and just take a deep breath and clear your head. After that you will surely come up with a much better idea to deal with your

After about half an hour of us walking around and talking, some acne filled, tall, muscular and older, German teenagers came up to us.…

    It was like any other school day, coming back from lunch, sitting in class, and talking to friends; however, it all changed once I arrived in my American Studies class. Mrs. Forbs was standing in front of the class waiting for everyone to quiet down. The class was a bunch of sixth graders, so it took a while to make us be silent. The day felt weird for me, I had my same robotic schedule but for some reason something didn’t feel right. I thought it had something to do with the food I ate for lunch, I would be prepared to head down to the bathroom or even nurse if that was the case; however, what happened that day no sixth grader would be able to prepare for.…

    The main concepts I took away from the article, Social Determinants of Bystander Intervention in Emergencies, by Latane and Darley were, before an individual in an ambiguous situation can choose how to react, you must first define the situation, secondly, an individual can be lead (or mislead) to choose a certain course of action based on other people’s facial expression, discussion, or behavior, lastly, often times the social norm in the US is for males to act calm in a state of stress, often times creating “pluralistic ignorance”, in extreme cases, at the price of another person’s life. I use to work at a bar as a bouncer and have seen the consequences of pluralistic ignorance firsthand. A basic definition of “defining the situation” is, deciding how to act in any given social situation based on your thoughts, social norms, and other people’s…
