=**Is bragging the Same as Bragging Rights?**=

Mr. Notte, a school health teacher, always says, "You can win bragging rights," when students ask what they can win when playing a game. But Is bragging the same as bragging rights?

According to a Harvard study, "about 40% of everything we say is devoted to telling others what we think and feel because it’s so rewarding." We can't be quiet about how good we think we are! But have you ever considered that bragging is a problem?

One problem with bragging is that it puts other down. Suppose someone scored the highest test grade and most other students failed. How would you feel if you were one of the people that failed, and this person kept boasting about how they had scored the highest? Fortunately in our school, most kids don't care about the ability to brag. Instead, they are very humble about their grades.

Another problem with bragging is that it is annoying for others to listen to. For example, sometimes when my brother sits in the front seat of the car he will brag, "I'm in the front!" Then I have to listen to it for ever, (or at least until he gets out of the car and I steal his spot; then I brag in his face). See what i mean ever one brags.

Have you ever had someone brag to you that doesn't deserve it? Pretend that someone scored a basket in basketball game and then someone took the credit for the basket. If you were the person to score the basket, how would that make you feel? That's what it means to brag or boast. media type="custom" key="22013700" "It took me a long time to stop bragging. About 50 years, in fact," said Morty Lefkoe, the president and founder of the Lefkoe Institute. The mission of LI is "to help people free themselves from their self-imposed limitations so they can create the lives they want." I believe that it can take you up to a life time to stop bragging but, its never too early to start.

If you brag too much your head will grow bigger than it's supposed to and then you will have to get a bigger door. See, your not alone. Everyone brags sometimes, even me- the most humble person in school, will brag. Even if its when some one said "ha-ha I won the card game yesss" but, just saying "Yess" wouldn't really count as bragging because lets say some person one a hundred dollars then he/she said yess I'm so happy to her or his self then than that wouldn't count. that's more like being happy inside your self not bragging to some one else.

Stop bragging it puts others down and will make you lose friends. Its your chose and you can do what you want.
