When I was around 9 to 10 I used to bully people, will actually I always did that but not to people close to me. For example, Shahama city, it is divided to A, B, C and I live in C so everyone from side C will always come say hi and we would sit together and chat through school periods. However, when anyone from A or B comes close we start harassing him till he snaps out and try’s to take a swing at us, then I just do what I always used to do, beat his soul out of him and leave like nothing happened and  they would do the same if I was alone. Moreover, what is worse is that we sometimes gather around to make a hit and run on A, because we hated them the most and always we end up beating them too much and get into trouble in school. Moreover, this was not the worst discrimination I  encountered  in my life in middle school, the worst thing was with Egyptians / Lebanon’s / Palestine’s I used to hate them like they were my enemies . When I saw them across the hallway I would shout names and wait for them to get irritated and then go beat them half dead I don’t know why I hated them I just did. However, by the time I got 13 I started befriending others and they were like WOOOT that’s not Ibrahim from 9^th grade this is someone else’s personality. I started to make more friends from different people not minding their nationality. There was a time when I had to get into a fight to help an Egyptian friend of mine however, just before we got separated I mistakenly broke my friend’s nose -,-  he was like you are not my friend anymore, that guy probably still hatting me for what happened after that last phrase he said. Anyhow, I don’t do stupid stuff like that anymore now I’m a normal student with normal attitude not getting into fights anymore and I could be considered as a peacemaker now. I learned by time that what I was doing was unfair and if someone harassed me like I did to people I wouldn’t be happy about it.
