(25,699 posts)I had this one fucker in high school, Shane Iforgethisname. He was one of those seven-foot four career tenth graders, you know the type, and he thought I was a great hilarious target. Month after a month of his shit. Then finally in en English class he decided he wanted t kick the back of my head.
I jumped on him, and choked the shit out of him while he punched me in the head. We went around the floor a bit, him bent over because he has a five-foot-four guy clutching his windpipe, me having my brain sloshing around from this ape pounding away at my skull.
It took two teachers and the assistant principal to break us up by which point I had a bloody nose and Shane could barely talk. We were taken to the principal's office and offered our choice; two week';s suspension, or "take our licks" 9i.e., getting paddled.) neither of us being insane, we opt for the board of education, and are sent back on our way to class. On our own. And the while time shane is weeping and wailing about his ass 'cause "I have very delicate skin!"
it didn't solve anything, no. Shane was still a bully and an asshole. But he decided to leave me the fuck alone, and so did his buddies ; apparently less for fear of having their larynx crumpled, and more with my apparent super power to take all those punches to the head and not be bothered. Which is something, I guess.
it got the asshole off of my back. yes, he found someone else's back to get on. Nothing really changed except who he was targeting... but at the time all i cared about was that he wasn't targeting me.
And yes, i had informed faculty of the problem. Their advice? "he wants attention. Ignore him and he'll stop."
