Most important rule.

The most important rule in my opinion, is for people to have control over their actions and words. What I mean by that is basically think before speaking and acting upon problems. Another way to say this is just simply having self control. A situation where someone may need to have self control, is if they wake up late, they have a bad hair day, forget their homework, and on top of all of that; they have a huge test that day and they did not study for it. This person is already upset about all the problems they are having that day, and to make matters worse, the most aggravating kid in the class sits next to them and starts bothering them while they are studying for the test. Their first reaction would be to tell the person to shut up and leave them alone, which would lead into more conflict. So to save them self from future problems, they could calmly say " I am trying to study, so please leave me alone until I am finished?" Just changing that simple sentence could prevent so many future problems.
