When Richie punches Russell in the face, his mother wants to call the principal, however, Russell wants to keep quiet about the whole incident. Russell’s mom’s response was, “I’m not doing nothing. If one adult did this to another, he be in jail. Why should it be different for kids?” (p. 45)
Question- Should kids solve their own problems or should adults/parents get involved? Explain.
I think kids should try to solve their own problems first before telling their parents because then it will come back to you if you don't try to solve your own problems first because if you get the habit of tattle tailing then you well end up people hating you even more so you should first start .
to solve it your way but if it does go to far you should start to tell an adult or someone who you trust that may talk to someone in the school that can stop this from happening.Like what Russell said the worse thing in Darkland school other then bullying is tattle tailing ,so that's what he shouldnt do. He should not make things worse than it already is .Russell should find a way to stop this like he already did try to stand up for him with his moms advice which helped him in all sorts of ways without getting into trouble. "You stood up too,me too". (page 98) Standing up to a bully would help you maybe the bully would hurt but he would know you are right. So the sollution is stand up to the bully first and if the bully goes far with it tell an adult
