Back Guys.
*To whoever said that my girlfriend and Asshat had been dating for 2 years, you misunderstood. It wasn't serious and it was only a couple weeks. It was 2 years ago that this happened.
*To whoever said that I don't know what love is-I'm sorry if you haven't felt love at that age. Did your parents not love you? That is feeling love. Some people mature emotionally faster than others. If you plan on saying "Fighting is immature", then read on.
*Everyone who commented about the ridiculousness of America, with our lawsuits and pussyfication galore - I believe you are right, but it's not what I think that matters.
*So here's what happened- I was fired up when I made that post. I thought about it and realized that fighting would probably give validity to anything the kid said. I realized I wasn't going to fight Asshat. I don't even know him. I was going to get to the bottom of this ****. I was still upset, but only because my girlfriend was hurt. She doesn't care about what Asshat has to say, it's complicated. I'll try to explain. My girlfriend lost 60 pounds in the last year. She used to be kinda chubby and now she is beautiful, and perfectly shaped (not that I care how she's shaped). Some of the comments that were made were regarding her weight. It bothered her that she worked so hard to lose weight and people still give her ****. I got really pissed when I saw her crying and I comforted her. The next day in school, yesterday, I came into the class I have with Shortdick. As soon as he sat down he just started talking to everyone around him with a nonstop stream of insults about my girlfriend. So I got up and told him "If you are gonna talk crap about my girlfriend, do it to my face." Everyone in my class was surprised because Shortdick is a "hardass" and people don't stand up to him because he's been to jail and such. So he stood up and got inches away from my face and tried o stare me down. When I didn't break the stare, he looked a way and mumbled a comment about my girlfriend. I just grabbed him by the throat and threw him onto the table (It was Pottery class, they are big, heavy tables). I told him that he is gonna quit spreading rumors, and quit talking crap. By that time, our teacher had noticed something and came over. She sent us to "Peer Mediation", where you go to talk out issues with "peers". We went down and talked it out. It turns out he was in a rage because his girlfriend found out that he had sex with 2 other girls and dumped him. He figured that it would be easy to pick on someone so people wouldn't give him ****. So he made that crap up. So if I hurt Asshat, I'd really feel like the Asshat. But me and Shortdick talked it out. I gave Shortdick a nice handshake
and now we're fine.
Thanks fir listening and advice everyone.

Spiffy, well done old chap.
I must say I did find your choice of anonymous naming convention extremely amusing, thank you

You became real close buddies really fast!!
That's good!
Sure it is. Being a wimp is having to resort to fisticuffs because someone's talking smack. You either laugh it off or shovel it back at them. If your first reaction is to fight, you've lost control of the situation and yourself and have shown your weakness.
I'm glad you were able to resolve the conflict with as little physical confrontation as possible.
