Would You Save The Kid From Drowning?

Would you go save the kid? or Would you just run away because you're just scared of seeing someone drowning into the pool? or Would you just stare at the kid until someone rescues the kid?
For me, I would go find someone to rescue the kid and not just stand around. I can't swim, I don't know how to swim at all. I'm scared of deep water if the kid was in a deep water. Well if he was in not so deep water, I'll probably go rescue the kid for sure.

most ppl will definitely say that they will save the kid cause it's a life blarblarblar.
i remembered having an exam with a question asking
" if there is someone who falls off onto the railway track and you can ask a train from a far, will you save the person?"
most people wrote yes cause life is precious etc. i wrote: i dont know. i dont wish to say that i will save the person definitely. if i am to encounter such situation, probably i am all courageous to save the person, or i'm scared of dying as i'm risking my life for a stranger and i have my loved ones. i can't say for sure.

Haha, I'm not heartless! I just can't swim O _ O I'll probably run around screaming and find something I could pull them in with.

Maybe I'd scream for help while searching for anything big that floats and throw it near to the kid.
Maybe I'd scream and run until I find a person.
Maybe out of instinct I'd jump into the pool, only to add the burden to the savior on saving two lives.
But I'll never know how I'd react until I get to experience it. Of which, I hope I will never have to encounter this.

I'll yell my head off until someone comes. I doubt the kid or me would be on a deserted island.
I haven't swam for a while, so there would be no point trying to help the kid by going after him. ><

If I saw a kid drowning...honestly I'd like to say that I would leap into action, dive into the pool, and heroically save the kid, but I don't know what I would do. It depends on a lot of factors my mood for one (if I have a lot of self doubt or something), in what shape I'm in (I'm accident prone -- meaning I break a lot of bones), and whether or not I like the kid. LOL! I'm kidding w/ the last one. I HATE my little cousin, but I saved him from falling off the balcony of a 5 floor apt building while in Taegeau. Family obligation I suppose. He was dumb enough to climb over the railing and slip, hanging on for dear life. I HATE heights and yet I helped him anyway. I never venture onto the balcony thing, but I did because me and him were the only ones home at the time. Wow...this is beginning to sound like a movie! LOL! It actually happened though. He learned his lesson. He was 6-7 at the time and I was 10 I think. I saved my dog from being hit by a car too once at my own expense. I was the ONE that ended up getting hit. You know those crazy Korean drivers! LMAO!
If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.
It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

The problem is, if you're not trained for it, you may drown along with the victim.

cuz if they're in really deep water & are really heavy..
there's like no chance of me being able to save them XDD
so i'd try to find someone else to save them @.@

of course if you can't swim you can't physically go save him but what you can do is yelll for help while trying to find something to pull him to the side or throw a floatation device so he has something to grasp onto.
i'm a lifeguard so i would definitely save the kid. fat or not i was taught to save them!

And yes, it's dangerous if you don't know how to do it. My parents' schoolmates (like ten of them and a teacher) jumped into a river to save one drowning kid and all of them ended up drowning.
