high school kid problem

[Torque]

Don't bother fighting man, it isn't worth it. It'll usually happen like one of these two outcomes:

1. You win, he is angered by the fact he lost, so he uses bullshit like jumping you with unfair numbers, or something equally lame.

2. You lose, he feels he is superior so he keeps picking on you.

Neither of these are that great. I was like you, like 3 months ago. I got into a 2 vs 2 fight with everyone involved in the fighting being a friend at the time or an older friend from Jr. High. Me and the other guy on my side fucked the two guys up, like they walked away with broken noses and bruised ribs and stuff. They don't bug us anymore, but everyone who saw the fight (like 20 people) told their friends who told their friends... Me and my friend who was involved in the fight got jumped in a locker room, 4 vs 2, obviously we lost, I walked away with two chipped teeth, one temple super swollen, a ripped shirt/ripped wifebeater, and I lost a diamond earring from one ear.

Now these four kids still fucking bug me, and I've been missing a lot of school lately because I don't enjoy going to an environment where I have to constantly stare idiots down or knock them back in the hallway if they do either of these things, just so I don't look like a "pussy" or a "coward."

At the time my parents wanted to charge the four kids, but I said, "No, look what if they just stop, they beat us and that's that."

My parents listened and didn't bother, but the kids are still bothering me so now my parents are probably going to press charges because I'd rather get an education than look "tough." Anyway these four fucks are the ones who are the cowards or what have you, needing two extras guys, right?

I know your situation is different as it's 1 vs 1 (or from what you've said... although this guy could get friends involved, then it changes), people might call you a pussy or a coward, but really, who cares what they think? They probably don't even know you, so who cares. Anyway you're the mature one for walking away (might not see it now... I wouldn't have 3 months ago, but now I do).

Anyway, I was like you I thought I had to prove something to everyone, but really in 3-4 years you're done this HS shit and all these people won't even matter the slightest bit, so just get your education and forget about looking cool, tough, or whatever.

Edit - If you REALLY WANT TO FIGHT, go quickly learn a "wing block" from Muay Thai, it's for blocking hooks (it seems every HS fight I've been in, no one knows how to jab or cross, everyone just swings a big hook at you) and just keep jabbing them, 95% of HS students would just get fucked by some nice jabs, let alone some complex kicking or elbow techniques. If you throw a hook and the guy ducks really low like a boxer, knee his face off.

It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. Well, soimetimes its better on your knees but thats a differn situation altogether, ifyouknow
whatI mean...

We've got the plummer talking again...jj

[El Mastero]

Here's my advice. Kick him hard in the groing or stomach with a simple front kick. Then when he doubles over in pain. Do a spinning hook kick to his head. Man, that sh*t looks so wicked that you'll not only build up a reputation as a bad dude but no one will ever mess with you again. j/k

2. You lose, he feels he is superior so he keeps picking on you.

Or, if you fight he figures youre not woth the trouble and leaves you alone.

Me and the other guy on my side fucked the two guys up, like they walked away with broken noses and bruised ribs and stuff. They don't bug us anymore,

Proves my point

and I lost a diamond earring from one ear.

What are you a girl?

Now these four kids still fucking bug me,
the kids are still bothering me

Proves my point again

[Torque]

What are you a girl?

No, just a pretty boy :P

Anyway, the kids who still bug me aren't the 2 that me and my friend wiped up, they're kids who started shit with us because we had a "tough guy" attitude about us because of all the people who saw the other fight... So I'm saying even if he fights this one guy and wins, and this one guy doesn't bug him ever again, he could get into worse stuff because he will be known as a fighter at his school, and all the people will want to challenge him or whatever. Not worth it really.

And to be honest, the two guys we fought at first were friends from Jr High like I said before, we're friends again so that's probably why they don't bug us :P

different people have different levels of self-discipline. some people can let a ton of smack talk roll off their shoulders, others, a bully can weigh on their minds, break you down mentally. if this is you, then he has already got the first punch in. physical danger is not the only reason to fight for what is yours, don't let him take your dignity.

[Jazzshredder86]

I'm in highschool, and I'm pretty confident I can defend myself against my peers. The advice I'll give you is...don't fight. Unless someone has warranted severe physical retaliation, I won't hit him. Why? Because I don't want to deal with the aftermath. Challenging a bully and beating him to a pulp might seem cool and heroic, but it might end ur ass up in huge trouble. And what if this guy does something unexpected? What if you slip up and hurt him, and he stabs you with an improvised weapon (pencil, scissors, ect.) out of anger/fear? What if he gets a couple friends to gang up on you? It's not easy to deal with that without training. You said you're 5'5, 120 lbs. No matter how you slice it, thats small, and in a fight between two un trained men, usually the larger wins. It's not worth it, a real fight isn't fun, and doesn't make you feel cool afterwards. At least, you won't after you realize a kid who beats up another kid in high school (whether a bully or not) is immediatley looked down upon as a punk by most people (yes, even girls.) Leave the dude alone, everyone has people that try to tarnish their reputation. If he attacks you, fend him off, don't hurt him, and call for help. Unless hes a real wacko, you know you're not in any real danger, so why risk getting in trouble/injured by escalating the situation to a full on fight?

Also, a real "fight" isn't a school yard punching match. If he attacks you, just stop him from hitting you, most kid's cant throw a non-telegraphic punch to save their lives. If you're truley afraid for your safety, tell a teacher.

Good 4 u Torque! See, that's how you handle a jackass trying to rile you - and your advice regarding fighting in school is probably the sanest way of handling the situation.

whoa dude, i really started to beleive in your "aint worth it advice" and then BAM! knee his face off?

Handtohand,

I don't really know, I didn't realize til like 3 hours after when I looked in the mirror and the bottom of my ear lobe was all bloody, heh. It didn't get "ripped" out, as my ear lobe was still in tact, it just fell out, from the struggle I guess.

Pornstar,

It really isn't worth it. Most likely, though, this guy will be as "rambo" as I was a few months ago and will want to fight regardless of all the good advice he receives, so I was trying to help just incase he did get into a fight.

[Pornstar]

yup, these days he'll probabaly regret the punishment more than than the fight itself. most high schools these days will expel both fighters no matter who was in the right. now you get your ass beat by your parents.

[Megawolf]

If you get hit then you get hit, it's part of fighting. If you don't want to get hit then you had either better have some killer defense in fighting or just quit the fight. Btw, those who say avoid it cause you will get ganged up are not always true and you can win an unfair fight if you know how to fight. For those trying to egg it on, just ignore them. Just do what you most, don't go overboard if you can help it.
