Were you ever in a fight back in school? What was your punishment? How did your parents react?

Actually, I was. In the eigth grade, this girl named Kim - a seventh grader - called me a b-tch. Kim and I had an interesting relationship. From the moment she set foot on the school bus at the beginning of my eigth grade year, I knew I did not like her. She had called me names before, and vice-versa. But that day had already been a really bad day. So I was really not in the mood to be called a b-tch. So I slapped her. Catfighting then commenced over the top of the back of the seat that was the only thing between us, on the still moving school bus, until the bus driver could quiet his laughing long enough to pull over and pull us apart. It lasted about five minutes, and I was suspended the last day with only a slightly busted lip to show for it. What can I say? I was young and dumb...
