I experienced a time of revenge when I was playing hockey and someone hurt of my players. The cause was someone was not nice to a new player of my team. It didn’t solve the problem because she fought me and we both got a penalty. I had originally walked away.

Revenge doesn't always work, but it teaches us.

I feel like revenge never really solves solved anyone's problems, yeah it might make you feel better for a few seconds but that doesn't last forever and afterwards all you feel is guilty.

I don’t really believe in revenge I would rather confront the person and just mind my own business if it doesn’t stop

One time I've experienced revenge is when I tried to help out my sister and she wouldn't listen to me. Eventually, because she didn't listen she ended up getting in trouble. I never had to do anything else because someone else had taken care of it.

A personal experience of mine would be when we were playing hockey and a one of our team members hit someone else. The other team then targeted that person. I have been that person as well as just someone on the side lines. It never solves the problem. We just get mad at each other even more and it keeps going.

It sounds like revenge tends to be violent.

Just this week after work, my brother threw a sugar cookie st me and hit me on the top if my head. So I poured a full hot chocolate on the window of his car. We were both laughing so we didnt have any harsh feelings.

One time I experienced revenge when I pranked someone. They promptly got revenge after just a few days. Their revenge only made the situation worse even though it was all in good fun.

Whenever I get involved in revenge it usually doesn’t turn out the way we plan. Revenge is a temporary fix, it only makes you feel better for a little bit but then the real pain quickly creeps back in. It always turns out better if you just decide to be the bigger person first.

I try to avoid conflict, it’s just who I am, so I’ve never really experienced revenge unless it was something like a harmless prank. Me and my cousins did it purely for fun

I really don’t like when people believe in revenge. I feel like it makes stuff worse. Yes it will make you feel better at the time but in the long run you realize it’s not worth it.

Revenge doesn’t solve any problems but sometimes they are really funny. I don’t remember any specific time of me getting revenge.

I have experienced revenge with my siblings. Technically I could be on both but we just go for it. It didn’t solve the problem we ended up laughing about it. I also can’t remember what the cause was.

That is usual for siblings but it is a good example that revenge doesn't solve the problem.

I'm not usually a loud or violent person, but if I get hurt from someone else's revenge vendetta then I'm probably going to want to do something to make them feel as hurt as I did. I don't usually believe in revenge, but it honestly just depends on the situation. I haven't really had any revenge situations other than sibling rivalry.

Revenge never solves the problem. You can’t fight fire with fire and expect the problem to be solved. I have wanted revenge on someone but stopped myself because I wasn’t going to cause drama.

I am not able to think of a story of my own but I think of a story my family member told me. The family member was working at a pizza place at the time and people from their high school came in. They had a reputation of being rude and not liked by many so my family member would put dead bugs and dust from the window seal on their pizza. They never found out and even though it didn’t solve the problem it gave my family member a feeling of satisfaction.

Revenge doesn’t solve anything I don’t think revenge is the way . It doesn’t solve any problems in the long run
