well, on one side, that means that even if you lost you put up a good fight.
Smart to let the opponent take first punch.

I was in a similar situation as you were in that I got into a situation that could have gone down hill straight to someone's death. The kid that I meantioned above attempted to sexually assault my girlfriend. I saw this going on, and I saw her attempt to fight him off. I ran over to him and layed a wakizashi at his throat. I let him know that he was not to come within 50 feet of my gf again, or his life would be forfeit. Luckily it never went downhill but the tension in the room was palpable.
First of all....what school do you go to? second, why would you carry a wakizashi in school (i pray to God this happened out of school) or out. Thats an extremely dumb weapon to carry. I'm a second degree black belt, and the wakizashi, or basically any sword nowadays, is obsolete. get yourself a nice tactical folder for every day carry if you really feel the need to carry a weapon. or better yet, be a man and use your bare hands.
now. i'm a high school senior, and it seems like a lot of you other kids out there either go to REALLY f*cked up schools, or you guys take stuff way to seriously. I go to a very small school in rural NY, and we have MAYBE one fight a year (and its usually among the 3 or 4 black folk we have bussed to the school. not to sound stereotypical or racist, but they ARE the only ones who cause problems so....)
I have gone to public school my entire life, and have never been a victim of any bullying or abuse (except in the normal everyday schoo life, which i'll explain in a bit). Now, i've always been the tough guy in my school. I've taken martial arts since i was 8 years old, and i feel confident in my abilities. nowadays i walk in crowded cities and bad neighborhoods without fear, but thats besides the point. the school i go to, everybody has known everybody else since the 1st grade. if theres any drama or dislike, we work it out. usualy, if somebody starts giving somebody else a problem, they're like "hey man, remember that one time in 3rd grade" and they end up laughing it out.
Now, like i said, i'm a senior, but i've been like this my whole life: if i like somebody (whether its a guy i'm buddies with or a girl i kinda like) i make fun of them. I'm very sarcastic and have a good sense of humor. I "shove" kids into lockers and stuff, but we both always have a smile on our faces. I guess i'm trying to say its all in good fun. its just normal goofing around. Heck, me and my buddies get in fake "fights" like every week punching each other and wrasslin around just to burn up some pent up male aggression.
so. i think all the high school kids across america need to just calm the freak down, and take a breather. High school IS the best times of your life, no matter what people say.
finally, if somebody is picking on you, or getting on your nerves, get some big friends. friends that can make other people hurt. alot. I know i'm that guy for alot of people in my school. (not that i actually ever have to hurt anybody, cause i'm no bully) but other people know that if the S hit the F, i would be on certain people's side.
At my school its just basically verbal abuse also. But back in middle school, there were a lot more fights then what we have now in high school. I have found that as the generations increase the younger kids start fighting and abusing people earlier. Not to long ago one of our fourth graders cussed out a bus driver. the mouth on these kids are getting worse. As for weapons, i wouldnt be surprised if half of our population had a knife on them everyday.
I used to be verbally abused everyday starting in about 3rd grade. As i got to middle school i started careing less about what was said. I learned that if i tried to defend myself it only increased the abuse. so i just stoped careing, when something was said i agreed, they didnt get any other reaction out of me and eventually they just stoped. It wasnt fun for them anymore. Unfortunatly im mostly ignored now, but that fine by me, it just shows me who my true friends are
Overall though i have to say the violence has decreased in schools but the verbal abuse is way worse.
I'm not a young member but as an educator I would like to comment...I totally agree with you 100%,..I am a kindergarten teacher and just so you know the verbal abuse unfortunatly begins at that tender age of 5...while am teaching ABC's and 123's, I am also now, including bullying as a lesson...I see it everyday, and that is mostly due to the way parents are diciplining their children at home..most of the children often dont receive any dicipline at all and with all these new education regulations their is only so much teachers can do...Parents in my humble opinion play the most important role in how a child behave's at school,...if a child bullies he or she needs to take immediate action by his or her parents in conjuction with the teacher so that the bullying can stop..Here in Texas and the school district that I work for fortunately, has implemented the "Bullying law" which basically means that if a child is bullied at school the victim has a right to press charges, and that becomes a legal matter..I wish I could change, the world, our school system, and situations....but unfortunatly, I cannot...these experiences however, will prepare each individual to survive in the real world.....sigh..
Exactly! now adays they have laws and rules where the parents cant really disclipline the child like they need to be. Even though most parents dont disclipline their children it would help if they were able to. If a child goes to school with so much as a bruise on them they are questioning parents about child abuse. Then there is the problem with parents favoring one child over the other. My parents for example, favor my little sister. Anytime she did something wrong i was blamed and punished for it, and usually its worse than when i do something myself. I dont know what this world has come to but things need to change, for the better.
I remember during my younger days I'd just let my fists do the talking.
Life got hard when I realized I couldn't do that anymore.
But you're right, it prepares us for the real world. I like this thread... it reminds me of what douches people really are.
You know when people say children are so innocent... I wonder if these people have their eyes and ears shoved up their asses.
Adults may be bad, but children are even worse. It's why we're encouraged to "grow up" a bit.
lol nots not always totally true though we do know way more than our parents think im a genius at both the good and the badKids are geniuses, but only when it comes to doing bad stuff.
That's just human nature in its purest form.
