Sometimes you have to learn the hard lessons for your own good. Getting in trouble can change you into a better person. It shows you how to mature. People will take you seriously if you change. Without getting in trouble people won't know how to change. My best friend is an example of how getting in trouble can change you for the better.

There were many reasons he got in trouble.  In class, he talked too much which was a problem.  Even when he did work alone he constantly talked and eventually, he got sent to the office. There were times where he messed around without even thinking about what he was doing. It was bad because most of the time because he would do things and never realize that he was hurting someone else.  He was always embarrassing himself. He did things that embarrassed his family, which wasn't good. He never listened. This really became a problem that was tough to deal with and was a big deal for his family.

He wanted to change because he wanted to be a better person. He wanted to make his family proud and keep his family name a good one. His parents were not so happy with him so he wanted to make them proud by going out of his way to be a good person. His parents deserve to at least say that they have a good son. The school staff had to deal with him a lot and it wasn't good. They got tired of him getting in trouble because they had other kids to deal with and him getting in trouble made it harder on them. It started to get better but he still but still needed to work on some things.

My friend acted like a fool everywhere he went. He also would bring this behavior to-the soccer field. There was one time that he acted up in a church which was a huge deal because his mom was had to teach him a lesson the hard way for being disrespectful in church. He messed around so much it got to the point where he ended up hurting himself messing around which involves hurting himself and busting his lip open. He realized then that he wasn't being smart with his actions and knew that he had to change before something really bad happened. Luckily, he started making small changes and is now better in school and other places. He accomplished what he wanted and made his family proud.

If he continued to act in the same manner as he did before, he would have flunked a grade or may even have to take special classes. But his family was more important to him. It was important to make his family proud because he wanted people to see that his family was the best. His sister was really worried for him. She was fearing that he was taking the wrong steps. She always tried to help him and she did what was good for him and for his image. His story is a reminder that when you have people in your life that hold you to a higher standard, you will meet them there.
