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.

You're kidding, right? So possibly knocking out someone's teeth or breaking their skull sounds like a good idea to you? Solving problems without violence is a pretty damn good idea in my book.
 
Do not waste you time. There are times and places where fighting is worth it. This is not one of them. You are just looking you get your self put into a hospitable. First off he is a hell of a lot bigger than you. 2nd off you will be out numbers. if you are the aggressor you are going jump by multiple people. First rule in this type of thing is never try a fair fight. You always want to be on the stronger side.

He only has to get one good hit on you are out.

It is not worth it. You do not have anything to prove. He is really only doing harm to himself in the way he is acting.
Oh and if he out numbers you he not going to get shame in it for not fighting with "honor" it all fair game because of how the fight would start. First rule is never fight fair.

Yeah, if you knock their tooth out they're not going to start **** again. Problem solved.

Talking with them isn't going to do ****.

Unfortunately with our society now, you can't do that. So have fun trying to talk it out because it's not really going to do anything.

Really? You really think it would end there? If someone knocked my tooth out I can tell you that they'd just doused a fire with gasoline. You seem to be under the assumption that a fight just ends with that one fight. It doesn't- that's why fighting doesn't solve anything. It just keeps going. That- and it's insanely immature.
 
biggoose, it sounds like you are physically the bigger man, but time to mentally be the bigger man and let it go. talk is cheap and this loser will look just like that...a loser.

if you smack him up, then you'll be a loser. just let it go.

plus, sounds like you're a 'small' guy playing sports. you might have a collegiate career in wrestling or football. why potentially mess with that over some schmuck?

she's your GF so just hang with her. and if she's upset by the idiot, tell her not to worry. chances are she'll just want you to reassure her it's not bad. anyone who knows your GF will know the stuff the loser is spreading is nonsense so in the end, mean nothing it will.

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..."

it's not 'ask MR'...it's in the 'community' section.

i think it's ok for ppl to vent and ask questions.

some kids don't do that and then walk into schools with guns and open up.

sometimes talking about feelings and thoughts helps people. may sound silly that one needs help from a forum of typed responses from virtual ppl, but if it works, don't knock it.

we can all be friends....
 
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.
When a person seeks advice such as this, medical advice, love advice, etc. from a forum such as this then he/she needs to be aware of the myriad of bad advice they will inevitably receive.
In other words, this kid needs a parent or two to talk to. Not a bunch of *******s (me included) in a mac forum.

You're absolutely right.

Sound advice.

Go with this OP.
 
If you do hit the guy I hope you do sue him.

Oh, and your girlfriend, if she's worth her salt, will think badly of you for hitting someone weaker. The only time (as has been said) to fight for someone's "honour" is when they're getting attacked or if it's something serious. Which doesn't include name calling.

Fighting only solves problems in bars and hockey games. And then only because the participants are thrown out.
 
What do you guys think? Any Advice? (Do you think I have a decent reason for fighting?
Absolutely not. Particularly after telegraphing your intentions to harm someone on the internet.

Outside of armed conflict (ie. war) there is only one justifiable excuse for physical violence, and that is to protect you or someone else from imminent physical harm.

Any decent martial trainer should have taught you that.
 
Help With Fight

Fighting is just plain stupid and a sure way to get hurt and/or into trouble.

The art of self defense is making sure that you stay in one piece - often times that means using the Nike defense i.e. you run away as fast as you can.

For more about REALISTIC self defense, and where I was first introduced to the Nike defense, see the very informative site listed below.

Speaking of hockey games some of the fights are agreed to ahead of time by the players of each team. I will say a hockey fight is pretty cool when you see the gloves come off.

Wait a second. I am not encouraging him to fight. I'm just making a comment on how different society works on our countries, and how it seems amazing to me that you can get prosecuted for a high school fight. But I am not encouraging him to fight, even more, I could care less if he hits the kid or not.

And fighting does solve things?:confused:

I reread your post, and I agree I shouldn't have included you in the one's egging him on. Your statement is exactly what you say; It just didn't fall into the category of (to me) obviously the OP shouldn't start a fight at school.

Jessica hit the nail on the head and I vote for her being the most rational human being on this forum. Kudos!

You're 16 years old, don't do something that can screw up the next 40 years of your life.
 
In these post-Columbine days, you aren't just going to get suspended. You will probably be arrested, and face serious charges.

And do you think your girlfriend will love that you beat the crap out of some guy?
 
well i dont think you shoulld beatup shortdick or asshat (great names btw...) but if you feel like getting kicked out of school, arrested, family sued, lives of you and those around you go to crap. sure go for it.

Chances are if that kid is 15 and 275 pounds he's already halfway through with his life anyway. Don't get in a fight. It's hardly worth it. Oh, and you're 16.

Your avatar had me convinced there was a bug on m screen. I tried to get if off but it wasn't moving! AHHH!:eek:
