[frontrunner]

ok your in 8th grade and its may get by for the rest of the year and then your in a diferent school. when you get to high find some where you fit a sport a club or some other thing there to make your next 4 years good. If the same thing goes on there still don't worry about it after you finsih high scholl you'll never see most of the poeple you hate again

[Crighton]

I didn't win ever fight and I certainly didn't always pick the best times to snap. But people sure stopped talking smack after I'd laid into a couple prep smart mouths right in the middle of classes.

People like that always pick on the low guy. If there is a chance the low guys going to loose it and swing on them right in the middle of class, in front of friends and teachers. They'll choose the next guy who's a litte safer to pick on. Doesn't really matter if you can win a fight like that, they never last long enough to count before someone gets into the middle of it.

I'm always amazed when I here from somebody who managed to navigate middle school with out at least one fight.

and no, I am not kidding. I've turned down sex for video games before.

out of my car....right ****ing now...OUT!

[Python14]

Alright Alright.....let me preface it.

It was Tuesday November 9th. Halo 2 had just come out. And she wasn't exactly "a tiger in the sack".


But don't worry....much sex was had instead of video games.

You must champion the jerks by becoming one when necessary. Start remembering the most deriding and emotionally painful insults you can find. Remember, most of it's in the delivery.

Well... my 2 centos.

I'll be the first to tell you that fighting is not the way, no one does it in High School. Not here anyways...

As for the immature kids or the ones who think they're cool? Yeah. Not happening in High School, and they'll find that out once they get there. There will be bigger kids there to show them their place. (...or so I'm assuming, being in Texas and all. Not to be steriotypical.)

When they say stuff like. "Go play video games" don't miss a beat. Be like, "Why would I do that when I have better things to do? Like your mom/sister/girlfriend/etc." If they shut up, be like. "Jealous?!" Then just stand there. Keep it coming until you see them getting way mad or until they walk away... that means you won.

[Sooky]

Forget about talking back and fighting. Most kids in middleschool/highschool are like animals and that stuff will likely not solve anything. If things get really bad just go talk to someone whose brain is fully developed (ie. your teacher).

do lots of pushups, crunches and running this summer

get beastly, then when you go to high school you beat the crap out of the toughest guy there the first day. You now are the Kingpin. Everyone will want to take you out but you have the will to stay on top.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Wait until next year, it will get better. In 8th grade everyone thinks they're tough and can beat anyone up. Once you are at the bottom of the social food chain (9th grade), this problem will most likely not exsist.

I had to deal with a similar problem. People always made fun of me for being half jewish. All I did was ignore them and two weeks later it stopped. Also, when you respond to an insult, respond with a smart comment. They will not know how to respond, thus showing their stupidity.

What ever you do, do not respond with violence. That only makes you as bad as them.

[Maggot6]

Yeah, I am in ninth grade. In grade eight everyone tried to pick on me, because I was supposed to be in grade seven and I was pretty small. So, I tried not to fight, being at such a disadvantage.. So I just stayed out of peoples way, and made friends (or acquantances) with everyone who I could. Because if some "preppy boy" or some "6 inch taller than you black guy" picks on you, you have some back up. Facing the truth, no one really wants to fight(except those albino freaks who sit with themselves in the corner..) they just try and show off, so everyone is scared to fight them. So, being with the fact no one wants to fight, only like, 3 out of 20 people who see the fight will help you (assuming they are the friends of acquaintances you know). But that is alot better than yourself being beaten to the ground. AS well, if everyone finds out that some "6 inch taller than you black guy" beat the crap out of a little guy they will not respect him at all. Or at least that is how it worked in my middleschool.

When you get to highschool, everyone in grade nine is afraid because they are not the big kids anymore. And then they try and look big by picking on the smaller grade nines. That will pass about mid year. They will get cocky with a grade 12, and the grade twelve will quickly show them that they aren't so big and strong. But for the first half of the year, just try and not fight whatever you do. Sure fighting solves the problem of the guy you just fought with, but if you lose then everyone will try and pick fights with you, and even better; you'll get a reputation you don't want. From personal experience with the big guys picking on me earlier this year, not fighting was the best solution. - Oh, and start working out. If you do HAVE TO fight, it always is a good edge to have on people.. But don't overdue it, because well tendons don't like snapping...

Everything works itself out.

put soap in a sock and beat him down... soap doesnt leave marks

[land hurricane]

Get through it dude, just ignore it. Those are going to be the kids most picked on in high school. To quote harold and kumar go to white castle, "the world just has a way of evening things out."

wrong. Don't ignore it, it won't go away. As said before, stick up for yourself.. Those kids are not going to be the ones picked on in highschool unless you do something about it.

1. AOers are mammals

2. AOers flip out and kill people

Therefore, you should launch into a destructive force; crushing all who oppose you. And, like, cut off heads and stuff.

[WicKeD_WaYz]

I didnt know we had so many non-fightback types on AO. Whats so hard about sticking up for yourself and hitting him in the mouth?

[Lohman446]

Be yourself, and stick up for yourself. Do not change who you are for them, but only for you. That being said... stick up for yourself, few people will escalate to violence. And if you don't back down, even loosing a fight will gain you respect. The guy that is bigger than you, can gain nothing to his "rep" by beating you down. If he wins, its because he was bigger and is pickign on the little guy, if he looses... well.
