To learn it, war is bad for everyone. It's bring deadly and sickness also suffer for the people, maybe his father will tell Terry that, he feel suffer to be a solider in Vietnam. Kill people and fight for their life, the government pay the money for them to fight and they have to follow. That is difficult for Terry's father. So, Terry should ask his's father the experience and use that experience to learn to help other people.

Friendship forever

This is a true story that happened to me before. A story that remind me the past, I can’t forget it. A memory of an elementary school with my friends.
That day is a nice day, in the morning I went to school and walked to a classroom. I and my friends sat on a ground in a classroom and played the game. I’m joined in too, the game is really fun, but I’m not sure that I can remember the name of a game. While we played game, Long came into a classroom. He was my friend in class, he was very strong guy and hilarious. I think in class, nobody can defeat him. He is very nice to me. He saw me playing the game and then he whispered to my ear. He asked me to play with him. Playing with Long is really fun, all he wanted me to do is to let him carried me like a knight with a horse. I loved to be a knight and he will be a horse, so he carried me but it’s so quickly and I feel down with a loud sound. My head hit a ground, I felt headache and hurt so much. I lay down and started to cried a lot. I hugged my head, feel hurt and anguish, while my friends are surrounded me and helped me to get better.
My teacher came and asked me; blood is all on a floor. Long, that time he scared and cried too. She took me to the doctor to check my injury, and she also called my parents to come. There were a lot of blood bleed on my head. I had to clean by washed it. The doctor said, the injury is not too difficult and I will be fine but I had to rest for three days. I have to rest because my head it’s hurt it might badly effect. My parents came to school; they shocked when they saw me with a red dot in my forehead. They bring me back to home. I will go to school after I felt better. After I went back to my home, my parents asked my teacher who had done this to me? She said Long does it to me. My mom was glanced to him. My mom asked him why he does it to me. He said that we just played and makes a mistake. When I got back to home, my mom said to me don’t even play with him in school. I felt sad for that, it’s just a little mistake here. Then, I had to stay at home, feel bored and I have nothing to do instead read comic book or played video games. I’m contacted with my friends on a telephone, to ask what happen in school during I left. All day, I just play, eat, sleep and that’s all. I loved to go to school to join with my friends. Talked together, ate together, and played together. That’s fun by the way, not at home. My parents were at work, so I wasn’t have to play with them.
The day that I came back; I felt my head is a little bit better. I came to class, my friends to asked me. A lot of questions, I also wear a bandage in front of my head to protect it. Now I still scare of that moment (an accident) and I also afraid that might affect my brain. While I’m thinking of that, Long look at me. I thought he tried to tell me something, but he wasn’t having enough brave to tell. I felt like I’m so angry with him, because of that joke now I had an injury and that hurt my head very much. I ignored him, liked I will not talked or played with him anymore. I thought he is so dangerous to my life, I thought I will stop there. Everyday I wasn’t’ looks at him just play and talk with the others. I believe that he doesn’t exist in this world.
Day pass through, I remembered about at noon, he finished to eat his lunch some of older boys, they came and said something to Long but I wasn’t heard it because it’s too far from me. At first, I see Long are treated them nicely. Then I thought it’s something wrong with them, something was really bad will happened. One of them is pretended to be nice and then the others want to tease him. They teased or even insulted him and also his family with no reason. They just made it for fun, he really angry at them, I looked at his face, he tried to be calm down. They weren’t stop to tease him by anyways. I tried to stop it, but I thinking back now I’m ignored him and he is lonely, nobody can’s help him in this case, but I will saw what will happen. He said to them very loud, and I can hear it very clear. He said stop it or he will fight back. They are bullying and ignored what he said to them. They constantly non-stop and he can’t stand calm anymore. Suddenly he punched very hard to a leader guy; I really surprised that because before he wasn’t hit anyone. Now, the others are jump in (5 people) to hit him. Punch in a face, kick in a stomach. Everyone saw that, but they are just standing and looking, no one stop it. Now, I thought that person only help him by now is me. I’m his friend before, I felt poor for him while he felt suffer and lay on a ground. This is my opportunity to catch it. I decided to stop this; I ran to these people and said to a leader, if they don’t stop this, I will tell a principal. A leader is seem too don’t care. He gave me a punched it, but I can’t hold it by my hand and punched him back in a face. Now, the people around are going to tell a principal to help. These bully people were run out of a street but they get caught by a security and brought them to a main office. Long have been hit very bad, he felt hurt and I carried him to a clinic to let him rested. I sat near him in a bed, he cried and he said sorry apologize to me before that he made me hurt. But it’s isn’t his fault, he can’t control it so do I. But whatever happens I can forgive him because he is my friend. We can forgive to each other. He smiled at me, and I hoped he will got better, everything back to normal.
I was learning many things from this story, many advices to be a good person and friend; especially I can learn more a meaning of friendship. It’s hard to find a good friend, but if anyone have one that will be an honor. Nobody is perfect and anyone can make a mistakes. The great thing is to have responsible of that mistakes and revise it to be a better person and learn from that mistakes.
