Today my Mum and myself took my almost nine year old brother to a local soft play area. We were there with our Mum's friend and her children, who have a mild scottish accent. We call her auntie and the kids cousins.
Being 12 years old, I am allowed to go in and have some fun outrunning my younger companions. They are all male children, so they eventually went to play football/soccer with some other kids, some their age, some older, some younger. After boring myself stiff, I went to join in and see what they were up to. In total, there were 5 kids ganging up on us.
It was just meant to be a fun little game, until the other children started getting very big-headed once getting far more goals than my brother and our two 'cousins'. You'd expect from kids their age to get quite boastful, however it got out of hand. I was very happy with my brother for maintaining a fair attitude and for once not being a sore loser. Soon the other kids started calling my brother and cousins names and got very offended. As much as I dislike my brother, I do get overprotective. I mean, no one calls him a freak but me! Other words were mentioned by the opposition which I wouldn't like to put since I hate the censor.
I felt very angry with them as they started to physically and verbally abuse my brother and cousins. Consequently, I tripped one up, who fell flat on his face, and threw a ball in another's face, making him startled. I told my mother about these kids and she told me to make my brother and cousins leave to prevent further harm. As much as I didn't like giving the other kids the impression we were cowards, I did as I was told. I felt very wimpy having to leave. I wanted to give the kids a piece of my mind and make them be the ones to leave.
They were just really rude to people who had done nothing to them. I agree I shouldn't have harmed them but they get what they deserve.
So have you ever encountered kids like these?
