Can you believe it!!!

Fighting in school I always saw as pointless, because someone will always lose, and you can never say for certain that it will not be you who loses. You can beat anyone to a pulp, gain 'respect', have people leave you alone, but you will never be untouchable - basically, you'll never be above the teachers and the law. Sometimes threatening these people with your strongest weapon, which may be the police, is the quickest way to keep yourself safe.

I mean, let's get hypothetical. Say this kid pushed Mr Bang back, retaliated; unless Bang was just looking for a beating this kid has to be weaker than him, and the kid would be pretty stupid to hit back because he's not as strong as his opponent. So what's he to do? His options were: get pushed, leave it, and expect more pushing in the future (nobody wants that), or retaliate, get beaten up, and probably suspended from school. What the **** Bang thought he was doing shoving some kid so close to graduation is beyond me. Ego knows no sense.

And when it's a choice between facing assault charges, no matter how unjustified they are, and keeping your hands to yourself, well...surely, Silver, you see the logic.

Except how it further pisses off the aggressor and they end up doing something much worse. As much as our Authorities seem to have power, they have to work in a reactive way. And sometimes that can be way too late.

I have seen that logic. It's the same kind that parents try to use on their kids. But it's also hopelessly flawed. Respect really is needed in this day and age. And if you stick up for yourself, fight your hardest, and then still managed to grin whilst looking like a piece of shit on the floor, you've already won the war.

When you're feeling the victim, in tears or have had to seek help elsewhere, they've already won. That's something I understand. And I know I'm not the only one.

The kid is a little whore with a big mouth. He was talking trash so I got up in his face and push him.

Kid, meaning... younger than you? It's really weird when somebody gets so riled up about kids mouthing off if they're so much younger. I really do wonder.

Now that I think about it I should have broke every teeth in his mouth. I had a perfect record in this school and now is ruin and so will be him very soon.

...Because of him? You pushed him, not the other way around, you broke your own record by initating physical violence. Now you're paying the consequence and getting all pissy about it.

I don’t look or make trouble out there, but when people start with me they pay for it. If I encounter him right now for a second time I’ll get arrested, but who says it has to be me who encounters him again. I am going to set up a “welcome to street” for him.

Don't you think you'd better give it a rest before you get into even more trouble? That's the last thing I'd want if I were in your shoes.

Because of this little c*ck s*cker I went from Cs to Fs in 2 of my classes, I was 2 weeks out.

How can you blame somebody else for your ignorance? I think you need a reality check, mate.

You never elaborated what this kid said to you to get you so angry, which suggests it was some personal comment and you took it too seriously.
I know a Hell of a lot of people who would've reported your behavior, too.
