Gonna get jumped tomarrow

So chances are i’m going to get my ass jumped at school tommarow. It all goes back to this one kid in my science class. He keeps calling me ugly whit boy, which doesnt really bother me all that much. I mean he is white so i dont get any racial insult plus hes a guy, who cares if he thinks i’m ugly?. Funny I knew this guy from JKD, but he quit in the summer. Apperantly hes to “hardcore” now… ahhahha.

so thats the background, now today at lunch i was sitting at a table with my boys and he comes up. He comes up with like 6 guys and theres like 4 of us. They say its going to be a one-on-one fight I kinda believe them 50/50. Funny thing is as we are leaving he calls like 10 boys over there, but the guys hes with tell them to stay so that was cool.

Now where walking to the alley and all the sudden he goes into the school. Now I go in and I cant find him, I look around and I cant for the life of god find him. So either he ran away or he tried to get MORE backup.

So I ditch that day after lunch, cuz I have no large amount of back with me. Then my buddy calls me and tells me not to come to shcool tommarow. Someone told him to tell me not to. But this kid is a geek whos afraid of ppl who raise there voice. Now i’m trying to get ppl to come to school tommarow and i’ll at least have my good buddies backing me up.

Now I’m going to go to school tommarow. If i get jumped, i get jumped right? I mean what am I going to do run forever? plus wouldnt it be the exact opposite not to ***** out? I mean kinda like a suprise attack type thing. Plus I dont back down from $hit hence the term “crazy white boy”.

Am i stupid or just a “crazy white boy”?

Problem

Hey,

just relax, chances are it will blow over - as it did many times when people threatened me in the past for no apparent reason, there’s no need to kiss a** just don’t aggrovate by getting angry with the guy - anyone who looks to backup in the first place is obviously not as tough as they like to pretend they are.

Just relax and don’t worry, easy to say for me as I’m not in the situation, but trust me, it didn’t happen today, so why tomorrow? Just don’t try and start somethin gunless he starts first.

Just make sure you land the first punch.

Well i’m not really scared of them, I mean 1v1 I could work this guy. I know this from experience actually I think this may be the reason he doesnt like me. But i’m not going to back down i mean if $hit happens, $hit happens right?

I had this problem in High School too…to the point where I started bringing knives and other weapons to school. It’s not worth it.

I’d say just tell them you’re not interested in fighting. Don’t try to be Mr. Tough. That just brings problems. If they do attack you, and you have no other choice, strike first and drop the first kid. If you have backup be ready for a large scale fight. And be prepared for extreme trouble, suspension, expulsion, etc.

Like I said it’s not worth it.
You have to decide what you want to do.

I agree with Ryu.

Play it cool, not sure why most People on this Board are so much into fighting, agression and challenges.

Total opposite to what I normally see from MA, regardless of style or country of origin.

:confused: :confused:

You definitely have to go to school tomorrow! Probably nothing will happen, but be prepared, just in case… if something’s going to happen inside your school, you’d better try to be the “assaulted” one!
If i were you i’d try to scare him to death so to get rid of him, but if you feel in danger don’t wait, strike first, as strong as you can, and kick his ass.

Go to school, dont act like mr toughguy but dont back down either.

If you say “sorry” to everything and let him run over you just to avoid a confrontation your gonna feel like **** abotu yourself afterwards (i did that once and kinda promised myself i wouldnt again, i’ve been in similar situations since where i just stood my ground and nothing ever happend).

If he doesnt outright attack you (throw a punch) right away but wrather tries to talk to you first, getting in your face and all. Chances are he’s not about to attack unless you do something first, so if your just cool about it and talk it over with him nothing is gonna happen.

I think thats probably whats going to happen, i’ll just go to school and act normal. But I mean this guy REALLY doesnt like me, I guess I rub him the wrong way. But what am i supposed to do? I never started $hit and have put up with his $hit for a couple months now. Its really starting to get annoying.

Well, I had a problem with a girl in my high school…the first day i went to the school, she started crap with me. She said I thought i was all cool and stuff because i was from Cali. I was like…ok…whatever you think, and she got P!SSED. So, she proceeded to back me into a corner, and i was like, uh, OK. Started talking smack to me, and when i knew there was NO OTHER choice BUT to fight her, i layed her out flat on her ass. After that, I had nothing BUT problems. Aparently she bullied all the new girls and she was the “toughest” girl in school until that moment. I was a frosh, and she was a Senior.

So, I didn’t get into any trouble, because quite honestly, the teachers thought it was hilarious. But, because i beat up the “Toughest girl in school” (with one hit mind you) I became the “Toughest” girl in school. It was lame, so after about 4 months, i just left. The school was pathetic and ****…but what can i say about Oregon?

So, keep your ground, don’t give in, but don’t start anything. If you HAVE to fight, it’s all good…if you don’t, then don’t worry about it. He’s just an ass with an ego trip goin on. No biggie.

Before I say I agree with Ryu,

1st talk with your parents tell them about the situation, and talk with your school counselor/principle ect..

If you hurt this guy you’re in deep doo doo. but if you cover yourself and speak with your parents/teachers and then you get into a fight with this guy atleast they would have prior knowledge of the situation which may help you if you guys do get into a fight.

And like Mojo said if you land the 1st punch they would know that you didn’t start it, but that , still more than likely would not keep you out of trouble like suspension./detention or worse legal charges. Its better just to ignore this person if you can.

oh and yesI agree with Ryu!!

Ah, schooldays.

One more thing, if they do get you alone and you can’t get away challenge the punk to a one on one. Try to get him to lose face with his crowd. They may back out to watch you two go at it. You may win, you may lose, but most importantly you may buy some time for something to happen( the horse may laugh) or an opportunity for escape to happen.

shoot…

i’m stickin with ryu’s solution, bring knives and bats, oh shoot, nm, i meant…umm…

no but mai friends and i carried umbrella’s. u think it’s just a toy but i garuntee if that point tip hits u strait on ur not gonna be a happy camper.

but hey, avoid fighting in HS, it can really ruin your life just to get the pleasure of smacking around a stupid FU*K for a few minutes infront of all his friends. ruin college chances, brings more drama, more retaliation, man, u dunno when they’ll catch u outside of school, and it can also bring on lawsuits and jailtime if u get caught especially if bloods goin everywhere.
, better just keep a little sumthin with u and avoid fighting at all costs.

just avoid the guy, self control u know what im saying?

Well, best not to have to fight, but if you must, just remember this one simple maxim about life:

There is NOTHING under the sun you can’t do if you are willing to live with the consequences.

In other words, try to end it both quickly and in the gentlest way possible.

Good luck!

Tell people that you’re worried about being attacked, bring a portable noncombatant witness around with you whenever possible (preferably a cute and harmless looking one who can wrap people around their middle finger). I personally disagree with the doctrine of ‘telling the school’ unless you have a good relationship with them, because I for one have neither seen nor heard of anything remotely resembling rational behavior from any school regarding aggression or violence. Tell your parents, though.

If he talks ****, just tell him you don’t want any trouble and try to walk away.Try to also point out that it would be cowardly for him to attack you with a bunch of friends. What’s that supposed to prove?

If he -actually takes a swing at you-, reel back from the punch, ham it up so that anyone and everyone in the audience can clearly see that you were just attacked without provocation and took a hit, then proceed to f!!k him up HARD in the most humiliating way possible. Don’t forget to not deviate from your training - MA’s get f*ed up when they start changing their game plan. Beginning capoeira regional players have been known to trounce muscled street fighters when they stick to their form; expert fighters have been flattenned when the striker goes for a clinch or grapple, the grappler tries to box, or whatever.

Leave precisely zero doubt in the mind of anyone watching that you are completely capable of repeating the feat on anyone in the audience on a moment’s notice if forced to.

Then just leave. As I have mentioned, schools rarely have any sort of sane responces to any form of fighting in their walls. (if I sound pessimistic, it’s for a reason.) If they track you down (or bother to), then that’s what your portable witness was for, have them smile and pour on the stuff about how you did everything you could to get away and how you were cornered and attacked with no provocation. Mind, if you’re friends with the people in the office, then a lot of the stuff about avoiding dealing with them might be misguided. I leave it to your discretion. I had a counselor help me quite a bit when I was attacked and beat horribly once. In my experience, though, this is more the exception than the rule. The danger is that they will make the common (if bizzarre) assumption that because you do a bit of MA, you should be able to defeat him by lightly touching him on the wrist and anything more constitutes lethal force.

Schools at the HS level or below generally seem, in my experience, to utterly ignore anything below the level of a raging gun battle as ‘kids will be kids’, but occasionally, based on administrator PMS or how bad a day some secretary has had or some other totally non-predictable reason, will go absolutely totalitarian on your @$$ and start throwing around suspensions at anyone who was -in line of sight- at the time, with no perceptible policies.

Good advice from everyone.

Take someone around with you all day that WONT get involved.

Make witnesses completey sure that you were attacked with what you say “get away from me, I don’t want to fight” etc.

Kick his arse and share it out. :slight_smile:

I think you should beat him so bad that he will never even think of calling you a white boy or whatever ever again. Then proceed to tell him that if he tells ANYONE, you’ll beat him again and again and again. Then take his lunch money.

Maybe.

Maybe not though heh.

Tell us how it went:cool:

(ps how old are you? " tomorrow " really isn’t that hard to spell)

I’d agree with Justice Zero on the handling of this issue.

If we were talking about adults in the grown up world, the best solution is to walk away; you don’t want or need the melodrama. But high school is not the grown up world.

When I was in junior high, I was short and thin and got good grades and had glasses. In short, I got beat up a lot.

Walking away, running away, avoiding bullies, and telling teachers /never worked/. All any of these things do is mark you as a victim; the bullies have no incentive not to use you as their personal punching bag, so they do so at will.

After a while, I started carrying a half-brick in the bottom of my backpack. I got suspended a few times, but eventually people started leaving me alone. Bullies still didn’t like me, but I was no longer an easy target; they knew that if they fought with me they’d probably win but they’d wind up bleeding, and there were lots of other targets that were much easier.

Talk to your parents about this situation, and get their advice; even if you don’t follow theirs, they’ll be aware of what’s happening, so if you do get into administrative trouble over it, you can tell them “I was just trying to get away!” or “I was just trying to defend myself!” and it’ll be less of a shock to them.

Don’t start the fight. Just act like you normally do, but keep a witness around; don’t let him get you alone. Let him have the first swing (note: NOT the first hit) to make it obvious that HE’S starting the fight. Then hit him as fast and as hard and in as many places as you can.

And I’d like to emphasize; this is specialized advice for the very singular world that is high school. In /most/ situations, the best way to deal with a fight is to walk away.
