I Almost Got Into a Fight Today

Yeah, I almost got into a fight at school today. Let me tell you what happened.

It was an ordinary day. I thought today was going to be a really good day until 3rd block. BPE (or Personal Fitness as we call it. It's not the same as Gym.) Anyways, girls were upstairs running so the guys were in the classroom doing book work because we ran the day before. After a while, our coach lets us go outside in the Gym with everyone to play. Of course, the only thing we can play is Basketball. So, we're playing Basketball. (I admit, I'm not that great at it, but I'm decent.) And I didn't notice 2 guys were walking across the court because I had my back turned to them. Someone shot the ball, bounced off the rim and I tried to jump and catch it to tip it in (we were playing 21). I accidently ran into and knocked him on the floor. I say "I'm sorry" but then someone called me. He gets up and kicks me in the ass out of anger (but I managed to stop a bit of it with my hand so it didn't really hurt). I didn't say anything and we continued playing.

A few minutes later, same guy, walks up and decides he wants in the game which we had no problems. We were playing, everything goes well until he gets the ball at one point. He drives, and I post-up playing defense so he can't get by. I had my arms spread apart. He drives towards me and TRIPS over my left foot and his face hits my hand. He gets up and slaps me across the face. "What the hell?!" I thought and so he got up in my face and I got up in his face back talking and cursing each other out in the process. Some guys we were playing with broke us up before anything happened and we broke up. One of my friends told me to just drop it so I calmed down and just went back to the game. I overhear him talking about me again behind my back. I was about to run up to him and hit him but again, my friend told me to drop it and I did.

Did I seem like a bad guy in this case? Was I really wrong? I mean, after a few minutes after we calmed down, I was going to be the bigger man and apologize but I went up to him and called his name and he told me to "Shut the fuck up". I just dismissed his comment and played. And right now, I'm still thinking about it because I feel I broke one of the morals I believe in.

You weren't in the wrong at all mate. Sounds to me like the guy joined in the game just so he'd have an excuse to start up on you. Next time he does it (and it sounds like he will) you should plant him one on the nose with a well placed headbutt! The guy's already struck you, my opinion is if someone's gonna dish it out then you've got every right to slap him one back.

Plus you tried to make amends and he fucked you off, you've got no more need to be polite to him. I'd watch for the next few days, from the way the guy was behaving he's gonna be an ass to you next time he get's the chance (and I've got alot of experience in this type of thing). If he gets in your face again smack him in the throat. It'l shut him up, he won't be able to hit you afterwards and by the time he gets his breath back he'll be calmed down. Plus he'll think twice about giving you grief next time.
 
I mean, I only fight someone (though I don't want to fight) when I get really mad. But if he starts up on me again, I don't know WHAT I will do.

lol I wish. Then I'd actually be skilled at fighting instead of just a hooligan! :)

I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it happens. If he gets in your face just slap him one before he get's a chance to do anything. Do it without arguing or even saying a word to him if you can, that usually scares the hell out of bully boys.
 
Do you think you could have taken him? Was he scrawny? Just wondering :]

Anyway, I don't think you were wrong. If all this would have happened, I would have first apologized when you ran in to him, which you did. As long as you say it like you mean it, he shouldn't have responded the way he did. The second offense, I'd say "Wow, I'm really sorry man, are you alright?" Sometimes people get pissed off because when someone does something to them and says sorry, it doesn't sound like they mean it and sounds more like they are instigating the problem... sort of like saying "sorry" in a sarcastic tone. It sounds like the guy was being a bit of an asshole though.

However, I don't think it was right of you to get up in his face and start cursing him out. You said you both did it, but you're not showing you're the bigger man here. If this happened to me, I would just back down and say "Listen, calm down. I'm really sorry about what happened, it was a mistake. I'm really sorry!". I wouldn't automatically get up in his face and say "Fuck you bitch, I didn't trip you" etc etc.
 
You're fine. You did what's best for you. Trust me, you don't wanna do shit.

Honestly, if it was me, I'd jump him. I walked it off at first to cool off. When after school came, I just called a few friends of mine to jump that guy. Damn, he was a fag. He's so cocky and shit, so he deserves it. He reported to the school so I had a letter on my record. But they ripped it after a year since I didn't do anything else. So, I got off easy. Lucky me.

Just don't get yourself into shit.

You know, telling a story about you cowardly jumping a person after school with a bunch of your friends because he was "such a fag" makes people look at you in a completely different light.

lol I'll remember that.

And War:
Well, he wasn't scrawny really. He's on the wrestling team and he works out a bit. But he's short. (I think he's 5ft even if I remember.) At the same time, I'm no pushover either. I used to take Taekwondo a few years back and I still know my moves. Plus, we run every other day so that strengthens my legs and we have weights in the basement. On top of that, I'm 9 inches taller then he is.

And I meant it when I said sorry. I have never been in a fight at school because I don't ever have an argument like that in school. The one time before I actually did that was probably freshmen year and we resolved that without fighting. I am a nice guy who doesn't argue much with people. And maybe I shouldn't have gotten in his face, it was probably one of my regrets. But when you're in the middle of playing basketball, and you're hot, you're sweating, and your legs are hurting, its kind of hard not to get mad. But again, I probably was wrong for getting in his face I admit.

I'll second that. If you can't take the guy yourself then he's not such a "fag" after all. I'm all for duking it out one on one, but a few on one is just cowardly.

Not only that, but it pisses me off when people use the term "fag" as a derogatory word. As if "fag" was a synonym of "bitch, weakling" etc. Even if he was homosexual, or a "fag" as you would call it, that would make you look even WORSE, because that would mean you and your friends beat up a kid for being homosexual.

Well said War, and totally spot on. It sounds to me more like a case of someone beating someone else up just cause they were jealous of the amount of confidence they had (the cocky and shit comment). If someones not threatening you physically then they've got every right to enjoy their day.
 
if i were u, me and all my friends wouldve pummeled his ass, i mean "ALL" of us, mostly cuz i have lots of friends and im Asian so its more "gang" vs a dude.

and you will never have to worry about getting into fights again. Hell, you'd probably go around looking for fights.

BANG DA DANG BANG!!![/quote]
To tell you the truth, that made me feel better lmao

Haha, I don't mind. It's just my way of wording things. I'm not jealous of him or anything, but he did annoy me the hell out of me. We did start a fight in school, but it was broken off due to my friends. I would take him on alone, but I wanted to show him that he shouldn't go around messing with everyone like that. I don't mind what people think about me, it is the internet afterall. I would only care if you guys know me in real life. ;)

But, thanks for the feedback either way.
 
You should have fucking bitch slapped him, that's what i will do, or what i did. :wink:

ah, one of those midgits that feel so insecure about their size that they always want to pick a fight.

You know, jumping on somebody together with friends are not illegal, they're.... Ah..... Military Strategy... you're bringing "reinforcements" to increase your chance to claim victory and you're making a good use of the "surprise" element ;)

there, that makes your action sounds better, ain't it? :lol:


but, what the heck is a fag?
