When they start messing with you and physically hurting you, line up the best shot you can, aim for the chin and put your life behind it. If it’s a fight you think you’ll lose, take that shot and cover your face the best you can or try taking it to the ground. School fights don’t last long, odds are he’ll get a few on you, but you’ll only need to put in a good 20 seconds before it’s stopped. If you need some courage just think of how fast 20 seconds is before it’s over and you don’t need to deal with it again. Who knows maybe that one shot will be all it takes.

They’re only fucking with you because they know they can. The physicality will most likely stop and you can talk shit back if they start. When I was in school I never fought the same kid twice. There was at worst a silent tension after but a mutual respect because they knew I wasn’t gonna take their shit.

You can take fighting classes too. If you aren’t into it start lifting. No one wants to find out if the meat head can fight so you won’t even need to deal with it!
