I was sitting in school today, and well, normally, there are bullies just waiting there...

Anyway, I was in french class, and this *** called Micheal shot yet another spitball at my head. So I got mad, this was what, his 5th spitball... anyway, I got mad at him, and told him to **** off. He didn't, he started to tease me for looking all emo and stuff, and for being good at computers/anime (for those of you haven't seen my latest images, just trust me on that one).

So I got mad, and told him to **** off yet again. He continued. I got up with fury and walked over to him. He was like "What are you going to do about it?" So I swung, but not to hit him, I purposly missed him to show I was serious. What do ya know, so is he. He got out of his chair and started to pummel my face. My teacher managed to get in, and by the time he walked out, I was bleeding like crazy.

Aparently, he broke his hand or something, and I have a cut lip and a mild black eye.
I ended up spining my head back from dizzyness during the fight, and I think he hit me in the back of the head, leaving me with a bruse, and damaging his hand.

Also, one of the witnesses tells me I hit him... I don't know when since I didn't realize it...

Anyway, what do you think I should do, he's been pickin on my since 7th grade, and I can call the cops telling them about it, he's challenged me to a fight last year, and never showed up, and has also punched me in the gut in 8th grade, has continuasly given me charlyhorses and never stopped going on about every tinny thing he could find wrong with me...

I could also fogive and forget it, although I don't really care, I still can't beleive I swung to get a point across, I could have got a direct hit, or just stood up to him and he could have done his usualy pushing, and I could have pushed back until he swung.

Give me suggestions.

Also, what would you do if you were in this situation, would you have faught back when he was swinging... what would you have told the principle and what would you think about this situation.

Bullies pick on others to make themselves feel better, usually because they are unhappy them selves.

Some however, are just sadistic psychos with too much testosterone.

If its the later, use your brain to get him back.

And if that fails, catch him unaware, fight dirty, leave him in a serious state needing medical attention, and no one else will ever trouble u again.

I mean, uh... Yeah. Kick his ***. Fight dirty. Use weapons. Make him CRY.

Bullies are probably the worst thing on the face of the earth. If you're in early highschool, I'd assume his antics to be at least diminishing. I mean, some people REALLY picked on my, but now that I'm in Grade 10, it's vanished almost completely.

But yeah, harm him. He's only one person on the huge planet, in the amazing and expanding universe, nobody will miss him.

I good pair of steel toed boots to the shin while walking past him in a crowd should do the trick.

Whip... Always stay out of his reach and just whip him. :p

Aren't you good at computers/anime? Do you look emo? My guess is that, because you let what he says get to you, he wins. Just say "What about it? You act like it's a bad thing."

Really dumb move on your part. Also, how does swinging at someone and missing mean you're serious?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To keep these pricks from hassling you, just walk around with a "dont-f***-with-me" attitude, and more often than not, they will leave you alone. But sometimes you have to fight, so keep this in mind:


These days, there is no such thing as a fair fight anymore. You have to fight to win, so do whatever it takes, b/c if you don't the other guy will. Just jump him, beat the living s*** out of him, and don't let up. Feel free to kick him when he's down, he would probably do the same to you.

It sounds like this guy has the size advantage, so weapons would help even out the odds. If a whole crew jumps you then definitely use a weapon.


Personally, I think an aluminum baseball bat to the face would help him see your point of view. Make him bleed.

Does he have like-minded buddies? Because in my extensive experience in junior high, that's something worth considering before doing anything.

Punch his ****ing lights out next time. A nice uppercut to the jaw and a knee-jab to the marbles will take the mother****er out for a moment, giving you time to decide whether or not to keep slamming him or walk away. I would choose to walk away, because it makes you look like the stronger more intelligent person.

Attacking him with a bat and the like is not a good idea. Is this kid really worth screwing up your life?

Defending yourself in a classroom fight is one thing, but serious attacks will lead to serious consequences that could very well haunt you for a long time.

I'd go to the authorities; be it a principle, a teacher, or the police if it is that serious.

Good luck, man.

Initiating was not a good idea. Thats going to be hard to justify.

You have two options.

1) Tell him to **** off, and the next time he does something to you just ignore it and ignore it and ignore it until it goes away, no matter what he does. Remember, the things he makes fun of you for are things you (should be) proud of and comfortable with about yourself. If it really gets to you maybe you should re-examine yourself.

2) **** that little pissant up with a baseball bat one day. Not hospitalized bad, but a few shots full strength should destroy his resolve to pick on you. This has serious reprecussions, however, things that could **** your life up for good. It could also be the only way to get rid of him. Be wary, and ready to accept responsibility for your actions.

If you involve the cops or the authorities or administration, you might get him for harrassment, and that's a restraining order for maybe 6 months, if that. After those 6 months he'll come back with a vengeance.

But I do have a few words of wisdom for you: People grow up and out of these things. I was made fun of from kindergarten up to 8th grade and even a little in my freshman year. After that it was over with--people just stop caring about such stupid bull****.

Best way is to just show that your comfortable looking emo, being into computers and anime. Seriously, if that's the stuff you like, then why does it bother you that he picks on you about it? I mean, sure everyone has that annoying kid that just pushes all the buttons and you just want to drop him to his knees and put a 9mm to his head, but it's not helping anything.

My advice, or rather my philosophy is... after high school you look back and realize that nothing in high school mattered AT ALL. You will never see 99% of those people ever again and even then, it's only when you want to. So, the question is, is it worth it to get bent out of shape over something like this? Just blow it off and don't let him get to you. You reacting to him gives him a degree of control over you, dont let it happen.

People making fun of emos/goths seems to be a common practice in all the schools I've been in.

That figures :p

And then he spitballs you again, laughing. Maybe he socks you.

That really doesn't work.

How to deal with these guys? Eh, fighting is one thing to do, but I was lucky in that my bullies were my size... in high school everything was cool, so I never dealt with towers.

Don't pull a weapon, seriously, ignore Page.

As we all know: Teachers. Don't. Help. Most are patheic losers who suck at life, and won't give a rat's behind what happens to you. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been in this situation.

If he isn't crazy, and is mainly a lone wolf, try to take him on, in public. Since they are hardly ever like that, avoidance will serve you well.

In summary: There is nothing you can really do, but them's the breaks. Just try to rise above it, it's only until college anyway.

I would just ignore him. And not say -anything-.

Most of the time, if someone is being an ***, then it's obvious to everyone in the room. Let him hurt himself with his own stupidity.

If your silence gets to him to the point that his physically touches you, try to be the crap out of him.

Of course, if you're not a big guy (like me) then I dunno... talk the the principal.

I had a problem like that once, and was tempted to do a lot of bad things.

Like hiding a timed smoke bomb in his backpack, to a very clever plan involving his name, his parents e-mail adress, and a few porn subscriptions.

But yeah. Like I said. Turn the other cheek or something. He'll be alone and feeling like a loser soon enough.

Or you could surround yourself with friends. How many friends do you have?

Poke him in the eyes.

Wound him.

Well I wouldn't have swung at him. That was a pretty dumbass thing to do. I mean really stupid.

If he had just started coming at me, here is my method of fighting.

1.Grab nearest thing that would hurt to be hit in the face with.
2.Hit oppnent in face
3.Rush up and hit him in the throat and groin.
4.Trip him and kick/stomp them on the head.

But I might omit the last one because personally my boots will kill most normal people if I kick them in the head. Now that is for the most common situation of someone who is obviously going to hurt you coming at you. Many other situations are why I have six years of martial arts experience.

Really, fighting is for dumbasses. You screwed up and it is your fault. Tell the principal that because you can't get out of this, and honesty is good.

You need to be confident in who you are. If getting made fun of bothers you, you are probably not being yourself.

to show that you're serious you shouldn't have missed

I did not realize a thread could be full of such bad advice.

....it's Massassi. Did you really expect anything less?

Normally, I would have let it go, and just ignored him.

Obviously, swinging was the dumbest thing to do, but when I'm angry, I'm angry and I have no idea what I'm doing.

I'm going to ignore everyone who bugs me now, doesn't matter what their doing. No more swinging, no more fighitng, just plain old ignoring.

Also, beating someone with a bat is the worse thing I could think of xD

-btw, he's about my size, and got me by surprise. so yeah..... lucky I didn't have a lip ring, I wouldn't have a lip xD

Thanks for your advice for those who gave GOOD advice, and as for the rest, thanks for the laughs xD

I'd make fun of him.

Buy him a BB gun for christmas and wait outside his house so you can take pictures when he shoots his eye out.

Find out where he lives, break a window, and toss in a couple of my super-special bromine vapour smoke grenades. It'll be good for a laugh, anyways.

This thread should be named "What else can I do to screw myself over even more!"

Talk to a teacher or someone, make sure they realise it is proper bullying and not some little altercation.
Or try the smart alec routine. You want him to get up and threaten you physically. He'll look weak in front of everyone else if he can't take a comeback without trying to hit you. This guy sounds like a retard, probably recycles the same old tired insults. Tear him apart verbally in front of your classmates!
If you think you can do it and the school/police are unlikely to do anything about it, then by all means do something about it physically and quickly. Eg he spitballs you again go over to him and before he can stand up smack his face into his desk, but that ought to be your absolute last resort. If he's some hulk-child he'll hand you your arse on a platter afterwards and may do something similarly nasty later in revenge.
Finally, do what most folk do and stick with your mates and ignore the silly tit!

Kill him and tell us what loot he drops. Form a raiding party if you have to.

I've heard that if you simply ignore people who pick on you, they'll start to think you're really stuck up.
In high school, there was a guy who picked on me a lot. I didn't completely ignore him - I would usually give him really mundane responses, without acting remotely bothered. Eventually he just stopped, and started being nice.

That was actually my original plan.

Now I need ideas for what to do tomorow since I'm suspended from school...

And when he gets back I'll laugh at him for breaking his hand and being suspended for 2 weeks xD

i would just say kick his ***, then he wont mess with you

even if you lose, just fight him again, then he will know it was a bad idea, he wont continue to mess with you if you keep "starting ****" with him

Balls

Go For 'Em

Kidding (or am I?), but yes, go for the verbal assault. He'll look stupid if he can't retort.

Page. Seriously. Listen to yourself. What the $@^# are you thinking? The kid's in.. what? 9th? 10th grade? You can't seriously be advocating going after a bully who was calling him names and throwing spitballs with a gorram baseball bat. That is rediculous.

Xzero Phoenix- Violence isn't the answer. It's a last resort. I know it's cliched, but think about it. He has the size advantage, he has the "going after you whenever he wants" advantage, and he probably has the number-of-large-burly-friend advantage. The best thing to do is to shrug it off. Sure, it pisses you off, but what more does it do than that? Just think, in ten years down the road you could be an anime artist, or a programmer making six figures a year, and he's doing what? Working at Wendy's?
If you go after him, he'll come back after you. It sounds like you didn't exactly win the fight, so I would just ignore him from now on. If you feel like he's going to physically harm you, run like hell to the nearest teacher. Some people might call you a baby, I'd call you smart.

But please. For the love of whatever god you believe in, do not start another fight him, and if for some unholy reason you decide to, DON'T GO AFTER HIM WITH WEAPONS.

I'd like to point out that in most (read: ALL) states, assult with a weapon is a little something we call a FELONY.



He can retort. He can retort with a fist. And he has a lot less to lose by starting a fight than you do. Responding in ANY way, even if you think you're being cute, clever, or outsmarting him and making him look stupid, is not a good idea.

Think about it. He was insulting you. You make him look stupid. Do you think the two of you will react differently? Perhaps he'll go home and rethink his life, and become a changed man?

happydud wins!

Yes, try to avoid fighting him. And like dud said, don't try to start a fight with him, because that'll just give him even more reason to try and bully you.

You seriously just have to try and ignore him.

Listen to the dud, for doth speaks wisdom.

Seriously, he does.
