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      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      to stand up for myself.

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

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

Nathaniel kept saying something to himself. I quickly      ，“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        and it would hurt his feelings and shut him up.

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

     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，Mr. Black，our English teacher，told us to      the matter. It wasn’t until then that I finally found that      I hurt someone physically，the woulds finally heal（愈合）.But when I hurt someone with my      ， sometimes the pain never goes away.

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

When I went back to my room，I spent some time praying（祈祷）.I began to      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      closed.
