Help With Fight

Wonder how you'd handle it if you were 5'7 and 130lbs, hmmmmm.

edit: just re-read the OP, this bit particularly tickles me:
If he swings wildly at my head, which I'm sure e will do, ad most people in our town are inexperienced fighters, I will hit a double leg on him and either start kicking or mount and start swinging. If it resorts to stand up fighting, I will try and hit him with a solid elbow to the nose. Then try and end it.

You're so tough, you show that little man who's boss :rolleyes:
 
Grow up.

Wait, he's 15 now and was going out with her for 2 years? They started dating at 13 (at the latest!)? Wow.
I thought I was young having a serious g/f at 14 :rolleyes:
 
Here, back in the olden days... a gentlemanly way of settling such a thing would be a duel.

Do you both own guns? if not... I guess swords would work as well.

Tally-ho.

They're in the US, so I guess guns would be easy to come by...

Me

Hi guys, I thought I would re-introduce myself, as I havent been active lately. My name is Steven. I live in Michigan. I am 16. I am 6'7 and about 205 lbs. I'm in decent shape and have wrestled (amateur/olympic style) for 9 years. I also have a small amount of training in Jui Jitsu and Boxing.

The Situation

I have a pretty serious girlfriend. I care about her alot. There is this kid who she sort of dated over 2 years ago, we'll call him Asshat. I have never met him. He is 15, ~ 6'0, and about 275 lbs per my estimate from seeing him a couple of times. He looks really out of shape. There is another kid in one of my classes. We can call him Shortdick. Shortdick is friends with Asshat. In the last few days Shortdick has been giving me **** during class. HE is telling everyone that this Asshat, whom I have never met, is saying horribly vulgar things about my girlfriend, who she hasn't had contact with in months. The things he are saying are ruthless and I'm not gonna let someone disrespect someone I love like that.

First of all, comparing yourself to her ex who she claims she has not contacted in months (and you do not appear to have anything to prove nor disprove she is not in contact with him) is pointless. To say that you are somehow better suited or better in general given your very confident appearance of yourself is lame and clearly only shows that you lack the emotional maturity to even say you "care for" and "love" this girl. I'm not doubting that you think you love her and it is possible, but it appears if you believe that your appearance somehow gives you a leg up then I'm going to question the maturity level right here. Not to mention, if you define another individual by the mere size of their member then again, I'm going to question the maturity level here.

I wanna know what strategy you guys think I should approach this with. Someone told me that they pass him in the hall at the same place and time everyday.

I don't want to get suspended or in serious trouble, but I am ready to deal with any consequences. What I'm thinking now is I'm gonna wait for the kid and blindside him into the wall. I'm not gonna swing until he does. I plan on just holding him there and making my point that he won't be saying stuff like that any longer. If all goes as planned it will end there. I he continues to spread rumors, I will find him and really hurt him. If he swings initially, I'm ready to fight. It's never good to have a plan, but I have some options I'm thinking about. If he swings wildly at my head, which I'm sure e will do, ad most people in our town are inexperienced fighters, I will hit a double leg on him and either start kicking or mount and start swinging. If it resorts to stand up fighting, I will try and hit him with a solid elbow to the nose. Then try and end it.

You do not want to get into trouble. Ok. But hey, second thought..."I'm going to blindside him." Ok. Wait, "I'm not gonna swing until he does." Ok. I'd like it very much if you'd focus on making up your mind rather than trying to find out if you have cause for fighting.
What do you guys think? Any Advice? (Do you think I have a decent reason for fighting?
Click to expand...
My advice is there is never a reason for fighting. Fighting does not prove anything more than you are physically capable of leveling the "out of shape" kid that you so desire to level. A woman, and I speak as a woman, at any age should know that no man is declaring their love or defending their honor in any way when they resort to fighting. What a man or a boy in your case, tells me when the resort to fighting for purposes of honor lacks intelligence, lacks dignity, and only showed me that he will in fact resort to punching given any opportunity.

If a man loves me and opts to stand up in my defense if another man is being offensive then being able to speak to the offender. If it does not stop then you did your best. It would appear that your girlfriend either does not know about the offense or if she does then in time she'll realize that high school is brutal, rumors go far but they generally stop in high school. Both of you should focus your efforts on your future either together or separately. You focus on your "good physical appearance" and let her focus on whatever she does well or is into. Eventually the kid will get exhausted with the constant lack of attention and go away.

The exception to the fighting rule is that if a man comes up and starts to get physical with me (aka attempts to hit me) and another man is with me, I then give full permission to ward him off at any cost in an effort to protect me. To protect yourself or your loved one is one thing, to defend someone's honor from nasty rumors is another.

However, my guess is you want advice but the wall of text has lost you so I'll sum it up...
Grow up little boy, fighting never solves anything.
 
Ah mate, really?

Grow up please. The only people I know over 13 that fight are the drunk football hooligans that stumble outta my local pub and I doubt they satyed in school long. Theirs more important things in life (Like your girlfriend perhaps!?).
 
Has the OP realised yet that perhaps her old boyfriend is bitter and jealous?

Ok, first a physical confrontation is a bad idea, the best reason of all is your martial arts training. Approaching anyone in anger in your situation makes you look like the aggressor that pushed Asshat (or is it Shortdick... I mean do you really know who's saying what about whom?) into a defensive position where they are defending themselves against you. The attack you describe is violent and malevolent and would be seen as such by the authorities especially if your martial arts training is revealed.

I know your angry about what is supposedly being said, but before you entertain thoughts of decimating this guy get your facts straight about:
1. what is being said
2. who is saying them
3. what your girlfriend thinks of the whole situation

If it's truly upsetting your gf then try every above-board method of resolving the situation peaceably and with the 'rules' on your side. Your current mode of thinking is why my dojo is very cautious about training certain individuals and kids your age. Take the pill Dr. iBlue prescribed and post back in the morning. :rolleyes:
 
jeez, what a dumb thread. i'd wasteland this. or at least lock it. increasing threads about personal problems here and the idea that violence can be a solution really ruin this place.

might as well change the forum name to, "ask MR..."

I don't understand how hitting someone may end up in a legal case, with suing and whatnot. Over here it's like a fight goes on, everyone is separated and then people go on with normal life. I don't get the point?:confused:

Like I said, back in the day this is exactly what would have happened.

Now people are whiney bitches and they have to talk **** out with words. And if for some reason there is a fight, everyone gets litigation-happy after and it doesn't really solve anything.

I think you should take the mounting and swinging option. Sounds like fun.

Just wear protection.....head gear and such.:p

Is fighting over a girl really ever the answer, its not like your married to this person, and at 16 I doubt you even know what love is.
 
It's hard to see who's being entirely serious on this thread, but there are certain folks who I would consider to be egging him on.

So how does it feel that you're telling a minor that he should go pick a fight with someone? Regardless of the whole "legal repercussions" angle, what would make individuals like zioxide, Luis, iGav, and Iscariot want to get an obviously confused 16-year-old into a fight with someone?

Whether or not you think "talking, not fighting, is the p***yfication of America," advocating, let alone condoning, a kid to start a fight at school is the most hair-brained idea ever.
