We all have problems. They make us tougher, smarter, and kinder.
In class, we've discussed the concept of conflict. I want you to blog about it. Remember the three types: man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. himself, and answer the questions below:
1. What is the most common type of conflict in the lives of 8th graders?
2. What type of conflict is the most difficult to deal with?
3. What can you learn from conflict?
You can talk about The Outsiders if it helps you answer the questions, but mostly, draw on your own worldly experience.
Looking forward to reading your answers,
Stenson

I think that some of the most commomn conflicts in 8th grade is fighting with friends or family (man vs. man) I believe all through middle school we start fighting with our friends and family more then we did before, and it builds up more each year. To reslove this conflict i think that we should talk it through with them and if the person that you were fighting with ends up being correct, deal with it and move on. Theres no point getting into an even bigger fight if all along they were right.
I think the most common conflict for eigth graders is man vs. man. Thats b/c of all the freinds getting into fights about stupid things. The toughest to deal with I think is Man vs. himself. I think that b/c Its harder to deal with yourself b/c you cant get rid of yourself. If a friend makes you mad you could take a break from eachother, but with yourself you cant, you have to deal with it some how.
1. The most common type of conflict in the lives of 8th grader is Man Vs. Man. That's because they would either fight with family, teachers, or most commonly friends.
2. I think the type of conflict that's hardest to deal with is Man Vs. Nature. There's no one to blame for it. And also there's nothing you can do about it. You'd have to just let it happen.
3. What you can learn, is how to deal with future conflicts. It might not be the exact same situation, but if it's in the same type of conflict, you'd have an idea of how to fix/deal with it.

Oh and mines Man Vs. Man
1 & 2.I think the most difficult and most common conflict at this age is man vs. himself. They try to decide who they are and who they hang out with. Wheather it's a good or bad crowd. I think they also face man vs. nature. If their parents get divorced it's probably really hard for them.
3. You can learn how to be stronger from conflict. since you've learned from it you will learn ways to deal with it.
The most common conflict teenagers have is most likely themselves vs their parents or themselves vs their inner emotions. Its common for a teenager to fight with his/her parents, or for them to be stressed out.
Conflict that would be most difficult to deal with would be depression. Depression is very hard to get over and many people have to seek help.
What you can learn from conflict is that it's a part of life, and there is always a solution.

I think one of the most common conflicts for 8th graders is obvious. Fighting with friends and family. We all have done it and the amount it happens per week seems to grow as we get older. I think this is the most difficult conflict after things like death or addiction. I think one of the best things we can learn is how to deal with it. Not going around spreading rumors or somehting like that. Things like that only make it worse.

1. I think that hardest one to deal with is, man vs. himself. Because there are alott of things that 8th graders have to deal with on their own.
2. The most difficult one to deal with woul be man vs. nature.
3. You can learn how to deal with stuff better.

I think the most common type of conflict is Man VS. Man because 8th graders compete with each others and fight with each others. Man vs. himself is the most difficult to deal with, like ponyboy's grief. You can learn how to deal with them better and how to handle them.

I think that some of the most common conflicts in 8th grade are homework and school work, because it can be chalanging, or we just have too much. To help this conflict from being so bad, we can just take our time and get through one minnuet at a time

I think one of the most common conflitcs for 8th graders is fighting with friends. Usually we fight with our friednds for stupid reasons and shouldn't be fighting at all. To fix this problem I think that friends should forgive, forget, move on, and dont fight again.

A big topic for 8th graders is who their friends are. That is man vs. man. We worry about what others think about us and not what we like. Some people only where what other people think are fashionable. It may not be comfortable but they think that people will like them bettter. There is also a lot of man vs himself. People have problems at home that they are always worry about. It brings out a whole different in them. Some people are scared of things that are going on in their life. You can solve your problems by talking to either friends or your parents depending on the problem. You see what they have to say and try it out in your life. They keep you motivated and have a positive attitude
1.The most common type of conflict that an eighth grade girl has is probably.... friends and boy drama. This is true because, girls usually face a lot more difficultys than guys. For instance lets say that there is this boy that her bff is dating and she is totally in love with him... What should she do? Should she tell her bff or, should she lie and be fake. Though if she told her friend she might have to face the consequences of her bff being mad at her, but she should always be honest. GIRL LIFE IS TOUGH!
2. Boy drama.
3. everything you can learn honesty, and friendship along the way!

I think the conflicts in 8 grade are fighting gang related, friends, and teachers. man vs man. Also there is couples and girls you know
i think the comon conflict for eigth graders is man vs. man. because we aways get into fights with are friends and sometimes you yell at them when they didnt even do it but someone told you they did. to resolve it i think we could talk to them before we yell at them.
I think that one of the most common conflicts in 8th grade is definately fights with your friends and family, man vs man (external). This is because people in 8th grade talk, and spread rumors that cause drama and fights between friends. This also causes stress and most teengers take that out on their parents, and causes a conflict with them. This is what I think the top conflicts are between in 8th grade.
I think one of the biggest conflicts in 8th grade is dealing with fighs with friends, over things that you really don't need to fight about. Man vs. Man I think the reason kids our age fight so much about dumb things is because we think we need to have an opinion on everything that's going on, whether it is our business or not.

stephen says some of the most conflicts are that people will fight with there friends. The most hardest conflict to deal with is man vs nature because there is nothing you can do about nature. what you can learn is how to deal with things in the future it could be the same conflict but you will know how to deal with it.

I think that some of the most commomn conflicts in 8th grade is school.
some people may have stress in there lifes and school can sometimes be a stress
because of all the homework
and reports due
you just over flow on stuff.
steven sanchez says the same thing as stephen landwehr.
i think that the most commen conflict is man to man.bcause when kids geet mad at each other they dont talk they just get in a fight
I think the biggest conflict with 8th graders is drama and fighting with family . Fights get into stupid fights.
I think that the most common conflict in 8th grade is Man vs. Man . I think this because most 8th grade boys solve problems with violince.
Joe and Brittany,
1.Some of the conflicts for eigth graders are drama,fights.
2.Man versus nature is hardest to deal with since nature has its own thing.
3.You can learn how to deal with them the right way.

i think that the common conflict for 8th graders are man v.s. man, man v.s. nature, and man v.s himself because i think ppl r always worried about what they look like and thay have personal issues with themselfs and ppl make them fel bad about themselves n ppl r always judging
1)Man Vs. Man
2)Man Vs. Himself
3)How to cope with conflict.
3. What can you learn from conflict?
I think the most common type conflict is Man vs. Man Because of all the mood swing we have at are age its kind of hard not to have a conflicts every once and a while.
I also think that Man vs. Himself is the hardest type of conflict that we have to deal with because part of you may want to do something but that other part of you may not want to do that.
I think if we learn to compromise correctly we may have a chance of not having as many conflicts that we have now.
i think the most common conflict 8th graders have is man vs self. because people try so hard to fit in and stuff that that seems like thats all there focused on...I think the hardest conflict to deal with is man vs man. I think you should learn to resolve conflict too
1.I think the most common type of conflict in the lives of eighth graders is man vs. man b/c we fight with other people alot and mostly with our parents and siblings.
2.I think the most difficult type of conflict to deal with is man vs. self b/c well others can't really help others who have that type of conflict that well and like it kinda has to be solved by that person with that conflict.
3.What I can learn from conflict is how there is more than one kind of conflict there might even be more than three types of conflict also that alot of people has different ways of solving their conflicts.

1. I think the most common type of conflict in the lives of 8th graders are Man vs. Man or Man vs. Himself.
2. Man vs. Self because a lot of people don't know wheather to follow what they think they should do or or what they want to do.
3. You can learn from a conflict on how to handle it the next time, if it comes up again.

I think the most common 8th grade confits is if they can go out and hang out with there friends. When their parents say no it a big conflict. The conflict most difficult to deal with is when you and your best friend get into a fight. You can learn how to deal with them right, and just go past it and be the biger person and say sorry.

Hey this is Kelsey from la8 class 3!!!!
I think the most common type of conflict in the lives of 8th graders is man VS. himself. I think that because we have conflicts with doing the right thing. The most diffuclt to deal with is man VS. Man because we fight with our parents all the time and we may say that we hate them but we really don't. We can learn that if we have really good friends then we can get thriugh anything also if you have your family.
Oh my Gosh!!!! I just love The book Twlight!!!!!! It is so awsome. I don;t really like Jacob I like Edward better! Iam at the part Where Mike and Jessica just got together and I am very prowd of Bella for giving up Mike for Jessica's sake. Jacob is kind of a weirdo.

I think the most common is man vs. man and man vs. him/herself. I think the most difficult is man vs. him/herslf becuase you can work things out between people but it can be hard to work things out with yourself. You can learn a lot from conflict. You can learn how to deal with it and how other people feel.
-J.Toms
I think the most common is for sure friends. -Man Vs. Man-. We are all so stressed at times, then we just snap at each other. I think it's also the hardest to resolve. As 8th graders, we can hold grudges very well, if we set our mind to it. We also don't like to admit we're wrong. Ian brings up a good point as well. You can't get away from yourself. It's in your head.
I think the most common conflict between 8th graders is man vs. Themselves. I think in 8th grade we have to start making responsible desicions for ourselves.
I finished a few books over break...
1. Lizzie Bright and the Buckminister Boy-loved this book but to me it was kind of sad.
2. The A-list- I finally got it from the library, I thought is was great but it went fast for me.
3. Wednesday Wars- I really loved this book!!!! It was a short book but it took me longer to read because there was so much little details.
4. TTFN- I read TTYL so I decided to read this one...it was okay.
5. What if everyone knew your name- It was one of those Choose your own adventure books- it was fun to decide what the main character does!!! ~Hannah
