Ever since I was a child，my mouth has caused me trouble．I’m not a bad person；I have a

16 time learning when to stop saying bad things to others．

My mom has told me again and again，“Robert，your constant（不断的）bad words are hurting me．If you 17 to be this rude，you will get into big trouble．”

It’s been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn’t want to hear．I used to feel it was my 18 to stand up for myself．

One day in English class I was working on my homework when I heard a classmate 19 behind me．It was Nathaniel，who liked doing that as usual．

I said ever so 20 ，“Nathaniel，would you be quiet？”

Nathaniel kept saying something to himself．I quickly 21 ，“Nathaniel，shut up！”

For the next five minutes，we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other．

“At least I don’t have an ugly lazy eye like you！”I cried out．

I knew this would make him 22 and it would hurt his feelings and shut him up．

What I said filled him with anger．He tried to 23 over my seat and catch me as he screamed，“That’s it！That’s it！”

24 at his reaction（反应），I sat back in my seat．I had never seen Nathaniel act like this before．Later on，we were taken to the teachers’ office．There，k，our English teacher，told us to 25 the matter．It wasn’t until then that I finally found that 26 I hurt someone physically，the woulds finally heal（愈合）．But when I hurt someone with my 27 ， sometimes the pain never goes away．

At the end of the discussion，I said 28 to Nathaniel．

When I went back to my room，I spent some time praying（祈祷）．I began to 29 how often what I said hurt others．But I believe that as I keep asking God to help me，he’ll tell me when to keep my 30 closed．
