Well i think that to settle disagreements without a parent will be a little hard because you always want to tell a grown-up about your problems especially with friend.A way to solve a problem without a parents is well you can talk to your friend ans say why are we fighting for something so dumb like a boy or a dumb pencil.You should never start a fight to solve a problem that will make it worst.It is important to learn to solve a problem because when you get older you will not be able to say mommy or daddy i need help with a problem no will not be able to do that you will have to solve it your self.Like when you get older and get a job you might not like somebody that works there and sense you are older you are not just gonna go over there and start hitting them you will for sure lose your job and you may go to jail.Yea when you are 14 and younger you can get away with it but when you get older oh no no no you will go to the slammer (aka) jail.You will not be able to say but she hit me frist or but she called me a name they will just take you.So now that you are younger lern to solve a problom with out your parents and without fighting.All you have to do is say can we get along just talk to each other and you will become the best of friends
