Well, I've got myself in a spot of bother. Some douchebag wants to knock my head in on monday, and it's all because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. This is basicaly how it went *screen goes wavy*: Fauntleroy sitting on bench reading maths textbook. Douche and douches girlfreind walk up. DOUCHE: Knocks book out of my hand Whatcha got there Raven boy? FAUNT: Scrabbling on floor picking up book It's called a "Maths" book. See, it's got all these cool things called 'numbers', and then you add one number to another and get *gasp* another number-it really is quite fascinating. (bad move no.1) DOUCHE'S GIRLFREIND: Giggles You're sooo uncool Fauntleroy. FAUNT: Puts hand on heart and feigns surprise Oh, an arrow in my heart! Someone who can barely spell the wold has labelled me uncool! My life, it has no meaning anymore. (bad move no.2) DOUCHE: What'cha saying about my Girl, newb? (Now at this point, I should have just stood down, but my blood was up. A crowd's gathered by this time.) FAUNT: I'm saying that maybe she should actually read something with more intellectual depth than a text. RANDOM BYSTANDER: Hit 'im! Douche brings arm to swing, but the bell go's. He leans in. DOUCHE: Monday. You. Me. We finish this. I just stare back at him.
Now, I'm no idiot. I know what'll happen If I go along-I get horribly horribly mashed. So I ain't turning up. But, I overheard the guy telling some of his lackys later to hunt me down If I don't go. So-if I go, Fauntleroy gets murderised. If I don't, Fauntleroy get's murderised. Still, could be worse.
It could be raining.
EDIT: I find it ironic that even though this started because I critisced someone for spelling, there are about 12 mistakes in this sentence .

This is where watching school fights pays off - If you watch them, you'll get to observe how someone fights so that if you end up against them, you'll be able to better predict their movements. Helped me more than once.
As it stands though, you've got two options. Let someone up top know. There's no reason you should have to fight this guy if you don't want to. In fact, these days (at least in Canada) you could charge him with uttering threats. And assault if he actually were to strike you. His buddies would be a lot slower to mess with you if you sent "Douche" to a juvenile correctional institute. Let the cops and the school deal with it. In 5...10...20 years, will it matter that you did the 'uncool' thing? I'm going to guess it won't.
Myself being a bit of a hothead, I'd probably end up going however. Even though I was aware of alternatives, I didn't want to lose face. It never paid off though, win or lose. Because I still got into as much trouble as the people I fought, and very little would change after. If you win, they'll say you just got lucky. If you lose, they'll rag on you more than ever. If you decide to go, then win or lose, keep standing up for yourself when he teases you. The second you just sit there and take it, it'll become worse than before.
Trust me though, in the long run, end result... not worth it.
Ahhh, but if you tell someone 'up top' you wont be branded as 'uncool'
People will think of you as a coward and a snitch. There will be ramifications which are horrible. And say, say you did send said kid to juvenile, which is unlikely in itself, his friends wouldn't stop picking on you. They'd be really. Really. Angry.

The proper way? Inform the principal.
The US way. Inform an attorney. Immediately sue him for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The Texas way? Fire alarm+ambush him with group of raging nerds with whippy sticks=profit
The Frazzled way? A) Unleash heaping spoons of weiner dog crazed J-U-S-T-I-C-E!!!! or; B) have your wife/GF/Mom just run over him with the truck.

AFAIK (And I'm sorry if I'm incorrect), you're in his age group. So of course doing the proper thing is bad in your eyes. Being called a coward and a snitch by schoolmates seems like the end of the world to you guys. Truth is, if he fights and loses he'll be seen as weak, and probably get it worse than before.
There will be ramifications which are horrible
Only if you -actually- care what other people think about you. Most teens are pretty self concious, so brushing things off might be easier said than done, but it's the better way to handle persistant little buggers like the guy in LLF's story. When he insults you, yawn and tell him you made better cracks in preschool.
And say, say you did send said kid to juvenile, which is unlikely in itself
Not really. When your face is covered in bruises and people saw the whole thing, it's pretty much an open and close assault case for the cops.
his friends wouldn't stop picking on you. They'd be really. Really. Angry.
I'm sure they'd be angry, but also a little afraid. He just made their friend disappear for a long time with very little effort and a few bruises to himself. What's stopping him from getting them too if they try anything? Kids like "douche" may be bellicose, and believe that all problems are best solved with a fist, but they aren't slowed. LLF has proved he can fend off teasing no problem. And so long as they know that he can get the police involved if they attack him, they won't do much more than give him the odd shove. Even them picking on him would become a big "Maybe".
I know how you guys think at that age. I was there only a few years ago too. But after your first year out of highschool, you'll quickly start to realize how little anything you did in there matters.

Ahhh it may be an open / close case, but you of course have to understand that kids having a fight at school does not warrant someone getting sent down. It just doesn't happen.

But your other points are fairly solid.
So hitting him with a truck is still out? Tell MS13 he works for a rival cartel?
Explain to him that a fight on school is bad for the transcripts. Use small words so not to confuse him. Remember idiocracy isn't a movie, its a prophesy and you staring the proof in the face?
Forget him just go to class. Don't play his game (ambush him after is strictly optional).

Now, I just graduated from HS not a month ago. I was a little loser kid, few friends, you know the drill. I live in a town of farmers, of which I think 50% of the population is inbreds, but thats a story of another day. These people are all sitting with an IQ somewhere between "toast" and "Rasin toast", and I think only 2-3 of them outside of my group of friends are going to survive life out of town.
I say this because, the people you know in High School Just. Don't. Matter.
ANECDOTAL: There is this one guy who was in my ex-class, Couldn't do ANYTHING without 5 people behind him. Not even go to class. There was this girl who organized skip days for the school, tried to tell the principle/super intendant to sit down and shut up, and then cried as she got detention for the rest of the school year, and the most popular game in my school was "Protect your balls" were people would just hit each others balls as hard as they could with no warning.....
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
In other news, im off to see Naomie this evening again. Im not sure if its a good thing, but she is in the band and sings aswell, so its not like im just going to see her.

It did happen here. Twice. Once when I was in school, the second time was news from my brother. The attacker in the latter of the two was 18 too, so he recieved an adult sentance. He got 15 years I think, though he also whacked the kid's head up good 3 or 4 times with an aluminum bat...
Mind you, they (Cops) also regularily visit and patrol the halls of my old HS with drug-sniffing dogs. More than a few kids arrested for that game.

LLF: When he goes to fight you, drop to your knees, hands out in front of you, and start begging. Let him take a few steps to close the distance.
Then, lunge while still in a crouch position, bring your forearm up like a club right in the babymaker.
At this point he's either doubled over, or on the floor.
1) Doubled Over: Grab the back of his neck, and slam his face on your knee a few times.
2) On the Ground: If he's on his back, roll him over. Then fish hook the living hell outta the punk. If he's on his stomach, fish hook him.
A reputation as a dirty fighter will take the heat off you right quick.
Especially when you do something as effective as that.
If you don't wanna fight dirty, drop into a stance. (Partial crouch, elbows toucked close, lead foor in front, back foot slightly behind and shoulderwidth.)
He takes a step, go for a double or single leg takedown. When he's down, beath the living hell outta him. Use your elbows and knees, try and make the fether bleed.
I've found even taking my stance has deterred people fighting me. because it at least projects the image you know what you're doing.
GES, have you no honour! Have at thee blaggard! *draws sword*
i dont like fighting dirty.....
just feels like foul play tbh. I mean im happy to use the enviroment to your advantage, like pushing someones head through a plaster wall (never done that) but fish hooking or nut squashing is just cruel.
Im more of the kind of guy who punches for the face. It stops fights faster than getting hit in the chest or (If you got real cajoles) nuts.
Speaking of balls, im kinda worried. One of mine is bigger than the other. Is that normal?

If fighting dirty stops me getting my head kicked in then I'm all for it. No probs here with dirty fighting.

Expect my posts to have a bazillion edits. I miss out letters, words, sometimes even entire sentences in my points and posts.
No, im being serious, one is larger than the other. Im a bit worried, but also waaay too embarrassed and self conscious to go to the doctors to get it checked out. So, is it normal?
