If a woman is hitting me....I still won't hit her.

114. I was raised to be a gentleman and paid for it in the last year of middle school.

A rough girl wanted my lunch money. She beat me senseless, took my money and watch. I spent a couple of weeks in the hospital with a broken jaw and some cracked ribs, but I did not lay a finger on her. I was the typical 97 pound boy with 6% body fat. I could not even swim since I had no flotation. The ribbing I took in school didn't matter since I had very few friends since I wasn't a jock and was a book geek. I know that if I had fought back it would not have made any difference as she had the weight and strength advantage. Southern girls are a tough bread and generally get what they want. I stopped bringing money to school and just would not eat anything at school. After a few more beatings and being stripped naked by her and her friends, they eventually gave up me as they did not anything to gain.

As far as the school was concerned it was always my fault for what ever happened. You know, the South and chilvary and all that.

I don't know if I could have done anything different though.
