You need to start fighting back. Luckily I had a dad who would kick my ass if I didn't. I got suspended a few times but it was worth it.

This is not to say that you shouldn't make at least a reasonable attempt to get out of the situation without violence, but you do have the right of self-defense. If the school tries to suspend you, threaten with a lawyer. If it's a clear-cut case like what you said, then they should just back off there.
In any case where you try to claim self defense, it usually looks better if you have made a complaint first.
He should tell the school immediatly and if they do nothing he has a better chance of surviving a law suit.

i never got beat on any, but a couple of kids liked to throw some remarks at me

i levelled them with my own a couple of times and it quit.

a few years later some other kids threatened to attack me, and then my friends came over.

not particularly smart friends, but one was about 240 and one 285lbs, so nothing really came of it.

if youre too much of a pussy to stand up for yourself, find some friends scary enough to keep it from being necessary.

or poison them.

I don't do that, i'm just honest.

I have plenty of self confidence, but i also have the fear of consequences.

But i guess you guys are right.

As for the kid that hit me in class in the back of the head:

Its a buff black dude thats a complete dumba$$. And the kid that pushed me on the desk was also a buff jock.

So if the kid smacks me again, do i stand up in the middle of the class and say something like "Do that sh1t again and i'll beat your ass infront of everyone over here"??

Btw: I'm from Bulgaria, Europe. I used to beat the crap out of people that messed with me over there. Actually alot of my friends remember me as the fighting kind of guy.

he didnt want to be violent in the first place; which is admirable to a degree.

but his "friends" suck if he cant get them to back the offenders against a wall and make it clear that the next time they get near him their nuts are going to get smashed to bits. laying off a bully or two shouldnt be *this* much trouble if youre otherwise popular, i would think.

No. First you should have complained to the teacher already. The next time he does it you don't say sh!t. You just knock the fvck out of him. If there is something nearby that will inflict more damage than your fist/ foot you use that.

I won't complain to a teacher. Neva. Plus the b1tch can't control her class, hardly will she be able to do anything. She studders and people like that guy diss her and her class all the time. They make fun of her weight and stuff, she doesn't say anything. She's soft.

I remember when I was a kid in secondary school and my class made me an outcast because i had severe BO due to the drugs I was taking.

Everyone was mean to me, and the class bully always took opportunities to make fun of me.
He even told the teacher that he didn't want to sit next to me during some class project thingy.
I enrolled in TaeKwondo classes and got a black belt after 4 years. Yet during all that time, I never felt the urge to kick or punch any of them.
Ultimately, I studied really hard and tried to make friends with other people who didn't find me stupid.

I suppose even in adulthood, there are also irritating people. Lawyers who make fun of you because you make less money than they do. "Elitist" people who sneer at the place you live in. Bankers who try hard not to feel embarassed when I say I can't afford a holiday. They may not mean any ill-intent, but it does irritate nonetheless.

And the best way is to avoid them, or laugh the matter off. You just have to learn that people are not necessarily nice, and the world is not necessarily filled with good.

You don't complain to resolve the situation you do it to document it.

Allright, in class pretty much some people like to fvck with me. Like last week this black kid smacked me in the back of the head and i didn't say anything. Or when i'm in the aisle of desks this other kid pushed me away and i allmost fell over the desk. And its not like i'm a tiny nerdy kid. I'm allmost 6 foot, i'm average weight, i dress nice, and i don't act like people can just run over me. But ever since i came to the states i've been afraid to hit back even if just defense becasue my parents always told me how over here it stays in your record for schools to review, how people can sue for medical bills and such. In my school, doesn't matter who started it, you both get suspended. And i can't have that.

All my friends tell me to start standing up for myself, but i just can't. I'm not a fighter, and if i get angry enough i might kill the guy because i start fisting untill i get tired.

There was this one time this kid in the locker room was comming onto me all gay and stuff, and was humping my leg and sh1t and i moved my leg to the side and accidentaly kicked him in the nuts. Then 2 days later he jumps on me and slams me in the locker and beats me on the head with fists while i'm on the ground. I walk out and dont say anything, no teacher found out so the kid wasn't bothered. And he's like 5'7".

I have many friends at school and everyone in the classes like me but there are just 1 or 2 kids that keep fvcking with me for no reason.

What can i do?? This fear of ruining my future keeps making me weak.

How do you not defend yourself when someone does that to you? I would have hit him the first time he started sh!t. The next time someone does something to you, call them out and tell them to do something or sit down..if they don't sit down, beat the sh!t out of him. After that you shouldn't have any problems, if you do just repeat.

seriously.. its like if someone tried to rape you, will you fight back to save yourself even though u might have to kill him or do you just take it up the ass.

I laugh everything off, but internally i get really pissed. And its not like everyone makes fun of me, as i said i have quite some friends, but my school doesn't have the kind of people that will help you out. Everyone is after their own interest and dont give a sh1t about you, unlike in the old days when i had friends with decency and character.

Don't do that. If you hit someone with a chair or something you _will_ get in trouble. Don't complain to the teacher either, or you will officially be a traitor. And don't say "I'm gonna beat the crap out of you" coz then if you lose you will look like a fool, just tell them "if you have a problem with me, don't ****** around, just fight", then you can look like the brave guy even if you get beaten up.

you just need to not take sh1t from those kids. just tell them to stop and if they don't then show them that you will hit/push/shove/punch them back harder.

Ok well that jock kid sometimes turns around and says sh1t to me like "You're lame" when everyone laughs at a joke i make or something. He trips me sometimes when i go to the front to turn something in, and he pushes me and sh1t. What do i say when he says something like "You're lame". I think i told him to shut the hell up once, but not sure.

I'm not telling him to go Bruce Lee on their asses ... just going to classa & wearing the t-shirt acts as a deterent - the classes build self-esteem as well in knowing that u cud whip their asses IF u want to, but u CHOOSE to be the better & smarter man and not do so

You and you're family won't get sued. And chances are, you won't need to "tell the teacher" anything, they probably already know how this individual(s) act but are just to lame to try and stop it. I think you're completely in the right if you decide to make the kid a dentist appointment, and I'm sure the school will as well.

Well, it sounds like the teacher doesn't care if people push kids around in the first place...so push back. I don't know what the "fighting" rules in your school are, but if someone tries to fvck around with you again, shove them back, hard, and get in their faces. If you don't want to get picked on in school, you need to look brave and ready to fvck back. Btw, what grade are you in?
