You might think that it is bad to fight but really sometimes it is good and here are some reasons why.

For example, it is good to fight for self-defence if you are trying to get away from the bully or attacker (although it is not good if it is the other way around. People nowadays would say if someone is bullying you that you should just stand there and ignore them and get hit in the head 10 times a day and live the rest of you life being bullied by the same people every day. You should stand up to people and stop them from hurting you. I think I know what choice I would rather choose!

Another reason why fighting can be good is for women's rights and rights for everyone and you are not normally physically hurting anyone so it is not bad to do it and you are not doing it for no reason. This might not sound that bad but you imagine not being allowed to vote or do other things that most other people can do. Just  think of being born in some countries where you are not allowed outside without doing something or being with someone, what a boring life!

There are also other types of fighting like wrestling or boxing that are legal because they have rules so it is not just hard out fighting with no rules in it. Some people only do it for a living so they live well of or others just do it for the fun of it so when you think about it, it is not the bad and people have reasons to do it.

These are only some of the reasons why fighting isn’t all that bad. After reading this, if you still believe that fighting is bad then think, has there ever been a time when you had to fight for something or stand up to someone?
