A Pencil as Weapon
Sometimes a murderer can emerge from an early age. In his life as a schoolboy, he may perform macabre acts that are forgiven because he is a child. Fortunately, this did not happen to me. The day I hurted my friend Manuel, I felt no satisfaction. I felt remorseful and feared for the consequences.
The wound had been inflicted in the temple's boy. A pencil with a sharpened tip was my weapon against that boy. It was only the first days of elementary school. I confess that I was terrified.
I had always been a peaceful child. Manuel and I had been together since kindergarten. We were best friends, but for some reason, he began to teasing me non-stop. Maybe he did it to stand out in that new classroom. The truth was that my friend was getting under my skin.
To defend my dignity, I grabbed that pencil with which I was writing the first letters I learned. It was a quick stroke, in which I didn't even see the place I hit. Suddenly, everyone was looking at me.
The teacher immediately asked what Manuel had done to provoke me. As I told you before, I have always been a good boy. On my teacher's mind, there was no way I could have been the author of such an act. Seeing that his life was in no danger, I was relieved. I was just still worried about my friend's mother's reaction.
In the afternoon, when she arrived, she had the same reaction as the teacher. I had been the aggressor, but still they blamed Manuel. I came out clean of this situation. I never repeated any similar action.
I know that no one would have forgiven me again. We became friends again, Manuel and I, as if nothing had happened. From time to time we remember that moment with laughter. But believe me, it wasn't pretty for either of us.
This is the first memory I have as a student. It is possibly one of the most traumatic, but it defined early in my life that I would not be a serial killer in the future.

Tremendous story, my friend.
Sometimes, we did things that marked us for a lifetime.An act of violence although minimal hurts, forever in memory, when there is nobility in the soul
Since that day, I try to avoid anything that means violence.
You are a good boy , my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How fortunate we are to see that you were able to learn from that action and thus avoid repeating the violence.
The same thing happens to many children, and sometimes, due to the lack of an adequate support network, the outcomes are unfortunately not so happy.
Yes. This is a common situation today. Unfortunately, children are more prone to be violent
But as long as we can reverse this situation, it is up to us to fight for it!
