    A conflict can help you because it will help you learn from your mistakes. If you do something wrong, the next time you were in a situation, you would know how to fix the problem a better way than you did before. Say someone hurt your friends feelings and you accidentally laughed at them. Then your friend got mad at you! The next time around if that happend again, you would know not to laugh. Also my example can go for a conflict hurting you too. The conflict made you laugh and it made your friend mad at you. So... Sometimes in a conflict it can lead to everyone mad at you.

    How I think conflict could hurt/help a person is that:
    If the conflict is something that you and your brother/sister are fighting about it could be bad becasue you might start hurting each other. But sometimes a conflict can be good becasue you can find the better decision or comprimise making you both satisfied and have a better way of comprimising.

They put all of these people behind and worry about what is coming apon them. they get hurt so bad that they don't want to come to school, to go in to public,and they don't even want to show there face into the world. I wish we could rise from this behavor and go to better hieghts. That's what wish for.

    It can help you by helping you understand what happened and teaching you a lesson.It can hurt you because it happened.You can also get in trouble if you were the one that did it.

    Conflict can hurt you because someone can tell you not to do something that is bad but then you don't listen to them and you get into trouble.It can help you because you'll know to listen to them next time.

    Conflict can help you because if someone is protesting for your rights, and the government decides to change them in your favor, that is good for you.

    Conflict only helps you by saying and doing things,getting it all out of the system.Although, it's mainly bad because it can bring people down.
