One day two kids named Todd and Andrew hung out at the park – equilibrium.
Then a bully named Jimmy came and said “Gimme your lunch money punks” – Disruption of the equilibrium. Andrew said “No!” and Jimmy beat up Andrew while Todd watched. – Recognition of disruption. Todd decided to call his brother Tommy to help him with his school bully. The next day Tommy finds Jimmy. “Why are you picking on my brother” he asked. Jimmy ignored his question and knocked Tommy out. Todd and Andrew rushed to check on his brother who was laying on the ground. A teacher saw what happened and took Jimmy to the principal’s office. – Attempt to repair the damage.
The next day Jimmy was expelled from the school for constantly bullying Todd and Andrew. – New equilibrium
