"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Dealing with bullies and fighting in High School.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

i got bullied in grade 6 until i stood up and kicked BOTH their asses (i was a big kid)
through grade 9 and 10 i would get bullied i guess by other same graders,
i guess i was intimidated by them because i would have a new guy on my back and when i get into a fight with them it was more of me kicking their assses cuz they were all small! that high school was FUKED, i couldnt stand it. they al wanted to boost their egos, along with the immature *****es so i left to a much much better high school..
bottom line is stand up in the beginning not the end.. DONT TAKE SH1T PERIOD.
you may get one b1tch off your d1ck and you might get another one to jump on but u always show the first guy up. bullies want the easy targets that wont do **** cuz it boosts their self estseem. if u make it a hard target before he gets some mentality on you. he will easily move on rather half way through out the year

The kid is in high school, you don't go to jail for fighting in high school. You get detention, suspension, and if you REALLY kick the **** out of them, expulsion, not jailGamblor said:If you think you can't go to jail for fighting you're dumb as ****.
I went to jail for less than a shove.
Assault is defined as any touching that is unwanted.

Oh, I get it you'd rather get suspended or expelled, for some stupid sh*t. Trust me, you're not going to get let off easy as detention for fighting. And with that mentality, if someone bullies you OUTSIDE of High School like a football game or just at the mall or something, you're most likely going to do the same thing and WILL go to jail. Just because you're in High School doesn't mean you can go to jail smart one. Just because you're in High School you're not protected from the law, you might get let off easier than an adult(If you're under 17), but they'll still put you in jail. I know a few dudes in my High School who have ALREADY been to jail.Kev07 said:The kid is in high school, you don't go to jail for fighting in high school.

So use Kev07's mentality and if you get in a fight at a High School Sports event, don't say I didn't tell you so when you get arrested.
"But I'm in High School officer I can't go to jail!"
"Wrong kid, assault is against the law".
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"Wrong kid, assault is against the law".
It REALLY depends man, sometimes it's not stupid ****. and expulsion is really rare from fighting, only if you end up really fvcking someone up, or you get caught all the time.
I'm not advocating fighting in high school, just know that sometimes, you can't just walk away from something. Make a rational decision, is suspension worth kicking someone's ass? sometimes it is.
Oh, and if you're under 18 you don't go to jail, possibly juvie, but seriously, unless you're going around fighting all the time, you'll probably just get community service or some crap like that.
i've only known one guy that went to juvie, and that was for slangin' crack and getting caught repeatedly.
I don't know where your from, but in california, if you're under 18, you don't go to jail
