Ok so we had a school garage sale today to fund my class's trip to washing dc. And there is this kid that is always kinda anoying but today he topped it off.

So I go and I am setting up my stuff to sell and I have been talking to my friend (I would call him "another friend", but the kid bothering me isn't anywhere near being my friend) about getting a puppy outta his dogs litter. So this kid comes up and is like "Why you gettin another dog when you can't afford the ones you got?" (see next post explaining this) and I said "Why you in my damn biddness!?"


Later we are playing basket ball because it got slow and I was playing point guard and every once in awhile I would act like I was goin make a jump shot and I'd jump and then pass it while looking at the goal. Then later everytime he'd pass it he'd kick his feet up towards his butt and pass it to someone looking ******** on purpose, making fun of me.

Later we were playing "h-o-r-s-e", and he came up behind me and as I was about to shoot he pushed me and I tripped and ate it while he laughed at me. And my friends picked me up.

On top of that he was makin fun of my dad who was wearin birkenstocks (spelling?) and socks. He does that because the sandals are comfortable and it was cold so he wore socks. (see next post)


I almost cried. No joke. I havn't been that close to crying since I watched "saving private ryan" like 5yrs ago.


Worst part is I carpool with this little sh!t to school. I think I am going to ride my bike to school till he stops being a dick or till the end of the year. I'm not confronting him because he'll try to act macho and it'll piss me off and I'll punch him. I came damn close to doing it today. He's about my size, I could've taken him.

He's not really a bully, just a dick that knows certian stuff that bothers me so he does it to look cool. He's actually a real dork and everybody pretends he's cool because he wanted to leave the school last time he acted like this and everybody ignored him.

What should I do? :confused:

He always makes fun of my financial situation (being broke because of the recession and the insurance kinda screw us over after hurricane ike) and he always makes fun of my dad. First off my dad is beast and such, no matter how strange he looks in clothes or whatever. I normally shrug it off and say "heh", or "yeah" or something when he says stuff like that but today it was too much and I realized he's not teasing he's just being a d-bag.

And I typed that first responce like that because I was making fun of his talking. He always talks "getto" every since he became 'cool', and he's whiter than mayo

And idk what I could've done (2 sides of the story thing)...

Well we (the whole class) were playin basketball and I was guarding someone and when I was running to catch up with him I tripped over his foot and slid into a girl and she fell on me and hurt her hip (not even bad, she said it didn't even hurt after 2min). And after I was done asking if she was ok when she was walking off the court, I turned around and he shoved me and said "don't hurt girls, dipwad!". I then ripped the ball outta his hands real quick and chucked across the court and told him that "it didn't involve you so back off"

He had it coming... he's an total (insert whatever word you feel necessary)

im a bully..but not a normal bully. i bully bullies. its what i do. i was thrown out of high school (yes high school in general, i graduated from a technical college) for beating the breaks off a rather large football star who made a kid cry by talking about his dead dad.

with my background in place there is one surefire way to put this dude in place. you can try and keep the peace or you can end it cold with no further altercations at risk of little trouble to yourself.

now im not say YOU should take this approach (my disclaimer) but ive bumped into "that guy" plenty of times and this is how I would handle it.

typically in a pretty large group of people (aka people to pass the legend along) make sure youre a perfect arms length away at the wrist (so he can flinch out of it) and open handed ike turner style smack the taste right out of his mouth. leave palm slightly cupped for sound effect. Nothing in the world will take the wind out of Billy Bada**es sails like being slapped down..true story. when hes stunned and try to stop the inevitable tear from rolling out of his eye as you white fingerprints magically appear on his red face, CALMLY (this is key) tell him exactly why he recieved it and i promise it never happens again to you or anyone else.

right or wrong im just one dude with an opinion. make your own path

Highschool is some of the toughest years of your life. I know I would not want to go back.

Thru the years I've learned the best thing to do is just grow a thick skin. Its a major part of the key to happiness IMO. Use your intelligence to not let him get you upset/angry. If you do, then he has succeeded at upsetting you which is exactly what he wants to do.

At the same time dont be a doormat. Respect and confidence in yourself should be your number one priority. So stand up for yourself otherwise he'll continue to try to torment you. Once he knows you wont just take it he'll likely ease off. Bullys look for weak people to victimize because they feel insecure and bullying makes them feel better about themselves. Once you show him that you are strong and wont put up with his crap he'll likely look for someone else to bother.

So if you have an opportunity to take the higher road, do it, but if he continues to be a jerk, set him straight.

Self respect is number one.

FYI, I'm an elementary school teacher and I see this kind of thing almost on a daily basis.

Yay!!! The first punch will result in TKO... this is a kis who got his eye lid **** on an electrical socket and got shot in his eye with one of those hand poppers you use at new years (with the confetti)

Both he cried a lot durring and later admitted it didn't hurt real bad. He'll most likely overreact and cry after the first punch.

Your Idol, that seems like a surefire way for Tommy to get his a** kicked.

Tommy - To prevent from getting your a** kicked, get to his first. YMMV.

tommys not getting anything kicked. he already said he thinks he can take him..and theyre size matched. IME when a kid acts out like this its a constant preemptive strike to ensure no one pulls his card and shows his true colors. if tommy is assertive and shows hes not afraid PLUS punks this kid this ends in one shot. fistfights at that age just turns into alot of rolling around on the ground and extends the potential for others to "jump in on it" one swift pop and this kid is borderline crying, the crowd is in shock and tommys got this.

but as i said im not looking for criticism on my apporach. tommy can take his own path im just telling him what i would do

His parents are a problem, very very protective. He acts like a little ***** to them too and they just ignore it. If I punched him I'd have to do it at the end of the year and get the hell outta dodge
