School Brawls

Has your "aspie behavior" led you to fight mockers and other jerks who bully you (since I beleive most of you find it difficult to make the difference between a friendly teasing way and a bullying teasing way,just like me)?
Last year, I was being bullied by the typical moron-who-thinks-he's-better-than-the-rest and I just wanted to kick the crap outta him,but I was aware of the consequences (suspension,exclusion..) and didn't want to fight back, until the day came when my patience completely ran out and I gave him a single open-palm punch in the nose (yeaah, my karate lessons paid off!) and made him know his place. Since then, he doesn't mess with me anymore.
So,should you ever get into that kind of dire situation, fight back with all you've got, because sometimes, words and diplomacy just aren't enough (unless you think you can solve those problems that way).

Fighting rarely gets anything done, and with the zero-tolerance policies, the victim is often punished more than the bully.

The only time I fight people is when I'm joking ((or, in the case of today when I punched one of my friends for insulting my Dad after I warned him not to say it, when they think I'm joking.)) Or when it's fine with both parties. ((I.E. When some people and I end up beating the living daylights out of each other fencing with sticks thicker than a grown man's thumb.))

Otherwise, little gets done with fighting, yes, it will teach someone a lesson oftentimes, but you're more apt to get in trouble doing it.

I got pummeled in a race riot (well, it seemed so at the time, and yes, I am that old... in the mid-70s, put up my dukes against the first guy, who stopped. The next 199 didn't. Didn't win that one.. probably last fight I was ever in..

Problems will only ever be "solved" when both parties decide to work together. If they don't, then the problem won't be solved. However, this doesn't mean that you have to sit and take whatever it is they're giving you. If words/diplomacy/insert-non-violent-method-here won't work, then you have every right to show them just how serious you are. You should not be expected to "just take it" indefinitely.

Nope.

i know i shouldn't but yeah i get into fights allot, because of being teased for being me. didn't help much though, I've been kicked out of two schools because of it.

When people bullying me got to be too much, I moved. Things got better because I was becoming more comfortable with myself, and my identity, and became very self-confident. I almost called the police on a bully, and made her break down crying... that was right after I moved, and since then, they leave me alone. They respect me for the most part.

I got in a lot of fights at school when I was younger because my first reaction when provoked was violence. I never really got in trouble for it but fortunately I kind of grew out of it in high school because the people that picked on me were much bigger than myself with far more friends who wouldn't hesitate to help beat the hell out of me. These days I definitely would not recommend violence as a way to solve problems.

I used to hurt people a lot at elementary school, but I never seemed to get in trouble for that. In grade 8 this one guy kept touching me because he knew I hated it and I hit him so hard I think I broke one of his ribs, but yet again I did not get in trouble. I get picked on a bit now, but I wouldn't dare fight back because I'm so much smaller than the guys who bully me, and since there are way more of them than me, I think it would be pretty futile.

I've been rather lucky in this regard... I only ever went to 'normal' schools when I was young, then went to a lot of uh, different schools. Never really been bullied though; people generally don't bully people that're bigger/stronger than them.

I did get into a couple of fights, but they're rare and not instigated by myself; the other person was clearly to blame, and the teachers agreed with me on that. *shrugs* I'm pretty good at controlling myself when it comes to violence, seeing as the consequences are almost always bad.

Also, Hedgehog, good going hitting that guy that kept poking you. Seriously, I hope you did break his ribs. >>;

Back in 3rd through 6th grade, I was in a LOT of fights. I never started them, but I am a big guy, one of the biggest in my grade then and now, so I usually finished them and therefor got in more trouble than the guy who started it.
