This is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm Jodi Powell.

In this hour, stories of confrontation.

Growing up in Jamaica, I was so used to hearing the shouts when a fight was on in the schoolyard.

I would often find myself standing at the edge peering in.

And one day, I got caught in the rumble with a classmate,

and this time it was me in the centre, fighting.

I desperately needed to get out,

but I quickly realised the only way out was to go fully in.

And so I fought back, and the schoolyard sounds enveloped us.

And before I knew it, it was over.

But I was terrified because now I had to go to the vice principal and face what I had just

done.

I got two days suspension and more chores for my grandmother than you can count.

A confrontation isn't always like a schoolyard fight.

It can mean asking yourself hard questions, understanding and sticking to boundaries, rolling

up in a space that is not meant for you and owning it.
