I know how you feel about throwing a punch, un expectedly. The same thing happened to me when I was your age. I was intently studying my homework in a classromm, when another student snapped a rubber band against the back of my neck.
I jumped up, turned around, and socked the guy in the face, knocking him across several chairs. I was some what embarrassed about my actions, the guy, who I didn't know very well wanted to have it out with me after school. He didn't show up.
This behavior, though extreme, probably happens to everybody sometime in their life. My advice, do not worry to much about it, at least you have a lawyer. Go to court without your piercings, look nice, and maintain impeccable manners, you'll do fine, as I have faith in you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
