You're in America - take a gun

(Only joking of course)

I prefer Eric Bernes small talk tips discussing how the walls are more perpendicular than normal. That throws people off most times.

I work in education and I believe the guidelines state that I should tell you to talk to someone you trust about it, which I suppose in a way you are by talking here. If you don't want to tell the teacher direct you should stick to areas where if anything does happen it will be noticed by adults quickly or else anomalously leave a letter for staff that there has been trouble in the locker room. I don't think the US education system has as rigid anti bullying policies as the UK currently does, so its difficult to say how your school would deal with it.

One of the most important things is to remain confident. Generally if you appear to be in control of a situation most people won't bother to cause you trouble. However some people are just looking for trouble. Especially magicians in Manchester pubs, never trust those people. They lie for a living.

grab his wrist, twist it and push the thumb towards him. With one hand, and not even using any strength, he'll be on the floor. Kindly carry on pushin and twist, until you then place your knee on his head. Flick him around the ear, say "naughty boy".

et voila! humiliation!

Personally, I wouldn't put much stock in what you've heard. 9 times out of 10, he's well aware of the fact that you're stronger - and he'll let it go.

However, should he bring his friends along, you would be wise to have your own back up. I've been on the wrong end of a 4 on 1, and while you can (and have) take the first two with you - the others WILL finish the job for you.

There's safety in numbers. I would do your best to avoid this confrontation. Don't look for a fight (which I don't think you're doing) and it might just not find you. A level head is the wisest course.

If you're alone and you have no choice, I highly advise against crotch shots. They're unreliable - and if someone is amped up enough, it won't slow them much. If you miss - you're screwed.

Keep your hands high, and make every shot for the bridge of the nose. His balls will stop aching - but a broken nose will put him out of the fight. Even if it's not a hard enough shot to break it - that's where the sinuses are - hit him hard enough and he won't be able to breathe through the nose anyway, and the tears and swelling of the sinuses can cause temporary blindness.

The bloodier he gets, the less excited the others will be about getting involved. Group courage, at that age, is shaky at best. As others have said - take out the first guy, and that's usually the end of it.

If you get him down - THEN go for the crotch shots. As hard and often as you can manage.

All of this fun, nostalgic talk aside - please seek a less violent alternative. 10 years ago, a fight was a fight...it's become so much more these days. Keep your eye out, but try to avoid the situation if you can.

I'd love to give you advice but I'll prob get in trouble.

I can see the headlines now..

Ew! Ugly! All he really needs do is to floor the biggest - even by pushing him over - and making as if to start on the smallest. They'll scatter.

Well what do you know nothing happened (at least not yet).

Just like mid-high a lot of talk and people don't do anything about it.

He did bump into me after school but, he realized it was me and he just slowly walked away (probably scared after the 1st encounter)

Anyways, thanks for the advice I will use it if he does try and "come after me" again.

<to be read in a Mr Burns voice> Ah, excellent...!

Not at all surprised by that...

Make yourself foam at the mouth, let your eyes glaze over and rock from foot to foot. He'll then think you're mental, and think twice before doing anything.

Alternatively, he may have you committed. I can't say for sure.

Unfortunately America is an insane place and the kids DO have access to guns. Not easy access but access nevertheless. I think the answer is to be nice to the aggressor. Since you are a wrestler he will know that it can't be out of cowardice. Just say to him that you are sorry things got out of hand and apologise. It will take the wind out of his sails.

And if it doesn't.......'shank' him!

OK, OK....I was kidding. I'd try to avoid him if I were you.

THINK, in this day and age of zero tolerance you really want to think about this before it gets nasty. Me, I would have ignored his singing in the first place, however you are passed that. I would have left him in pulp on the floor after the first altercation and been done with it.

In todays world you really have to look after your future, this guy gets you in a fight, those of authority get involved and the next thing you know you have some sort of record. doesn't matter who's at fault anymore, zero tolerance is just that, like it or not.

Rat the b***** out.

Unlike in Spain.
