I tend to agree with most here. You need to first inform your Parents about this and that the kid is known to carry a weapon of some sort. You and your parents need to discuss what will happen next. I'm sure your parents will call the school and this kid will be highly watched. This kid is not just a bully. He has some control issues if he's going to fight with weapons. Maybe all of these school shooting could have been stopped if kids would have told their parents about the shooter. And yes I know most of these school shooting were not done by bullies but if these kids would have gotten help and not just ignored then maybe all the vicitms would be alive today.

You might get teased or verbally harassed for telling but that's better than being dead. You don't know what this kid will do and it's apparent to me that you don't know what to expect from him. He could bring a rock but then again he could bring a gun and shoot up the school. Do the honorable thing and tell your parents.

edit... To be clear, the shooter were not the bullies themselves, but they were bullied and teased for a very long time and thought it was better to use force and violence to solve the problem than to tell an adult.

You never know how much this kid is bulling other kids in your school and that might provoke a shooting by another kid.

if its over a girl, then i assume you messed with his girl. either way, man up, and go fight, its a part of life.

i dont know why everyone keeps saying take rings off and crap, put as many rings on as you can fit, put some sand in your pocket to throw in his eyes, kick him in the balls when he is not expecting it, keep a monkey wrench in your backpack, do what you gotta do to win, there is no such thing as a fair fight. if he wants to fight with rules, he should have been a boxxer. and if he tries to talk smack for you taking cheapshots with sand and such, then just say, yeah? well who just got their butt handed to them? he will shut up in a heart beat.

Don't fight!

Do your self a favor...don't fight with him. Go about your normal day and if he walks up to you let him hit you if he wants. Then have him arrested and jailed for assault. The better Man will always walk away from a fight. Don't get involved. You will thank me later in life for this.

Im with you tuna, but sometimes it is hard for kids to see that.

Dont fight. Dont listen to these people in here, if you care about wussiness and whatever then you need to readjust your priorities. Who cares, its a school fight, just dont do it, save yourself the trouble.

ok heres the story.

his old girlfriend was pretty serious with him. the kid was VERY obbsessed. i told the girl (a week after they broke up) that i had feelings for her and i have for 4 years. she said she felt the exact same and didnt want to tell me because she didnt want to ruin the frendship. he found out and now he wants to really hurt me.

this sounds like a really dumb reason to get in a fight, and i know it is. but i know this kid personally and hes not really all there and he will follow through.

very much so

even more reason to not fight him. Dude, if this kid was normal and reasonable and not known to carry a weapon, then I'd say go on and fight him if he attacks you. But first, he's probably going to be packing a weapon, and 2, he's nuts!

This is a fight that is NOT worth getting beat up over. She already likes you, and he just can't get over that. He's pissed at you for something that is not your fault. Don't fight him. Instead, tell the authorities!

Maybe you should bring your friend Mr. 2 X 4 :)

Grow up.

lighten up... it was only slightly sarcastic...


and people telling a teacher is just as bad as kicking him in the nuts... both will insue in worse beatings and reputations

Re: Flight or Fight

Whatever happens, go to it without fear. Look him in the eye (if it ends in a confrontation... Hopefully you can find a way to avoid that...).

As Miscue suggested, try to notify an Admin or Teacher. Athletic Coaches are prolly the best to get ahold of, cuz they seem to enjoy pullin the big guys off the underdogs and if it comes to it, they will dive in there and break it up. (good luck gettin Mrs Higley, the 80-yr old math teacher to help in that respect...)

As many people have said the fact that this kid has some screws lose is a reason to not fight him.

Chances are if you to actually do end up in a fight no kids are going to do anything about it, unless they are your friends. And he would just beat on you until people have to physically pull him off.

And that is one of the better scenarios if you two end up going at it.

In short, tell someone of authority about it.

And I also believe this kid has no reason to be this pissed at you. It is not like you were doing stuff with his girl when they were going out

whatever you do, don't listen to the retards saying bring a weapon to school. that's JUST what you need to do. think of it this way...if you pull a knife, he could pull a GUN. leave weapons out of it no matter what. contacting people who can do something about it (parents, cops, administrators, whatever) is the INTELLIGENT thing to do. what's more manly, being killed or having the fight not happen at all? the point is...fighting isn't manly. it's barbaric and animalistic. don't get me wrong, i've been in a few fights, but yknow what...the outcome of any fight isn't ever good. it resolves NOTHING. if somehow he loses, he'll come back for more. if he wins, what does it change? you'll still feel for his girl, and she'll still feel for you.

for once i agree with shartley on this one...people DO care less. even as i progressed through school i noticed a drastic change at the beginning of freshman year to the end of senior. people just DONT care anymore. the consequences mean nothing to people, whereas they used to mean a lot (especially the parents thing).

just avoid becoming a statistic, that's all i ask. do what YOU think is right. you know the guy, you know yourself. if the fight is worth fighting, and you see it as such, make a stand. but remember the outcome may not be what you expect.

As other people have said, if you can't fight, don't. You may think of all these ways to fight back, but the first time you get hit, things change (big adrenaline boost, and not like anything else). I think there's a quote close to "No plan lasts past the first punch". It'll happen fast. He on the other hand has done this before, and will likely have a clear head throughout the beating. And you punching him requires you to get close enough for him to land a very easy shot.

Basically do whatever you want. If you want to get him arrested (will almost certainly not happen), telling a parent/teacher ahead of time will look better. There is virtually zero chance of him getting in any trouble with the law unless you end up in the hospital, so don't bother with visions of seeing him in jail.

If the police bother to come down, they will likely think their presence is enough to "scare the kid straight", they'll say some "scarey things", the kid will get suspended for a week, and then he'll be back. (this is assuming you go to a normal school, I assume really bad schools might have stricter policies on fighting).

My suggestion, stay close to friends. When he attacks you do the best you can to avoid his punches, and if you get a clear shot hit him back. But, as I said before, you'll be in an adrenaline haze anyway, and the chances of you landing a good punch is virtually zero. The chances of you missing wildly are much higher. Anyone who is telling you how to fight almost certainly has never been attacked by someone they have reason to fear before, and their advice is useless.

The good part about school fights (from your perspective) is that it will be over in 15-20 seconds. With you trying to avoid him, thats only a few punches unless this guy boxes on the side. Maybe your buddy will be with you and him pushing the bully away might delay things long enough for a teacher to get involved. Just dont fall down, dont scream, and dont run away. This will allow you to hold your head up the next day if anyone feels the need to harrass you about it.

Looking back I think standing there taking 2-3 punches and walking away clean is a lot better than throwing a few wild punches and getting the same punishment as the bully. But it's up to you.

Good luck.
