Getting jumped at school...

[Tansred]

Ahh, yes. I've been jumped once and by my standards pretty bad. :dead:

It was hailing outside during lunch so we all got scooted into the gymnasium. I'm a pretty unpopular guy a that school, and I'm not entirely sure why, but
I now that it was spread by gossiping haters from my elementary school. So I'm walking to the opposite end of the gym when I get rushed by a guy with a
basketball. I stagger up to see another guy standing in front of me. He grabs my shirt and begins to beat the living fuck out of my face. He punches me
down the gym and then flips me over a chair. Once on the ground he kicks me in the face. :crazy: Gives you a vivid image, right?

In the end I got a shiner, chipped nose and eye socket, busted lip, and humility. The assailant was caught but goes relatively unpunished. He is given a
different curriculum and a week's suspension. Thats it. The police interviewed me and some people at the school. All the guys lied and claimed I started it.
Some of the squeamish people coughed up that the kid was looking for a fight. even then, nothing. I go to a new school now, and you know whats funny?
I'm well known there (In good ways!). People are weird and hateful aren't they.

It feels good to talk about it. *slouches*

I'm calling shenanigans on Iceplosion & company.  Law student?  MENSA?  Come on guys. Just, shit, you pop out of nowhere with these declarations when an argument gets heated as if it's going to strengthen your position, you're a bunch of ad hominem, ad populum, ad verecundiam punks and if I ran a debate class I would gently ask you to excuse yourselves :D

Edit edit edit:  Sorry I noticed Ice was the only one making claims at being a law student so I clipped the pop quiz.  Seriously, though, citing your credentials in the middle of an argument is a lame way to make a point.

(I'm just busting your balls, I don't really care, but still it makes for poor argument.  Don't get all butthurt <3)

(p.p.s. - arguing maturity based on the use of profanity or lack thereof is for mamma's boys, just fyi)

@Dissonance:  I think beating up bullies in gradeschool is rad and all but advocating this kind of behavior as a way to maintain social order is naive. The point of the justice system is to make sure a person accused of a crime gets a fair trial, not a self-appointed judge jury and executioner.  Even the most seemingly guilty people might be innocent, circumstances may not be what they seemed, and your perceptions and the rumors you hear may be stained brown with bullshit. 

Maybe some of the fuckers you beat up had a better reason to beat someone else up than you did, maybe you don't know the full story.  Some kids that go around beating up other kids are, no surprise, kids who think they're getting "justice" by beating up the kids that used to fuck with them when they were smaller just like you.  Maybe someday someone bigger will beat the snot out of you for beating up their kid brother, who only beat up some friend of yours because that friend of yours beat up his friend.  Maybe some kid you beat up just beat the crap out of more kids more often because you deepened his complex of shame and anger. 

Some kids are bullies because they're emotionally and intellectually bullied by their peers and their fists are the only way they have to fight back and the only thing they understand (yeah sort of like you).  I've seen a lot of really dumbass Poindexter kids stand in a circle around a bigger one provoking him until he put them all to the ground.

Cycles of violence are stupid and pointless.  Fight to defend yourself, to defend others, to put an end to violence, not to preempt violence you imagine might happen or to perpetrate the same kind of intimidation you are supposedly interested in stopping.  You are not a super hero and life is not a cut and dry four color comic book or a season of 24.

O_O wow I lost my mind reading that....Bloody hell you should be in a debate class, you'll pwn me anyday xD

No offence, a broom could pwn you. All it would have to do is stay silent for about an hour while you say random stuff about southpark and sex...

God damn it! Why did I have to post that Fail? >_<

But hey you gotta admit it was funny as hell xD

 

[Cruelty]

this thread has the longest posts in the fucking world.

@Nphyx: Saying I'm a law student pointed out that I''m not just making up my knowledge of the laws and pointing out my MENSA membership was just my way of stopping the mindless insults about intelligence.

I'm done with this argument anyway, It was stupid but I'm a very argumentative person and if I disagree with someone I usually say something.  :tongue:

 

[syphonmax]

ARGH! They stopped

I was having so much fun xD

Really you were having fun reading an argument on an internet forum?

That's pathetic.

 

[Xilef]

I'm too popular to get "jumped" on at school, which is interesting because I hang out with the sort of people that are vulnerable to being attacked in school, nerds and such.

 

[syphonmax]

xD You call me sad for having fun reading an argument....You're sad for wasting your time starting an argument on an internet forum

 

[Venetia]

I enjoyed getting "jumped" at school.

However I think we're talking about a different version of "jumping".

heh

 

[syphonmax]

lol xD

It happens I guess.....

 

[Clizzz]

In all seriousness though, only the popular kids avoid getting jumped. At my old school, I would still be classified as a nerd/geek. Not because I wear corny glasses or pull my pants up to my bellybutton. Just 'cuz, I was a loner who made straight A's and some people didn't like that. Usually, I'd get jumped everyday, by a host of different people ... but because my parents thought that it was best to learn self defense, ... Well, you know ... I was able to DOMINATE MY SCHOOL! MwaHAHAHAHAH ... well actually, I was able to survive to the 10th grade.

@Venetia [Disgust] Lewdness to 'de max! What kinda' education were you being "schooled' in?! [/Disgust]

 

[syphonmax]

Clizzz it's called the fun way of learning =D

I have loads of fun at my school xD never ever get jumped, the only jumping I get close to is girls :blush:

Teenage life rocks ^_^ 

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

....That sounds like more fun than rugby...

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

And twice as rough :x

 

[Loofah]

People your giving rpg players a bad name!
GET INTO MORE FIGHTS!!!

I've been jumped plenty of times by dragons and dark knights with super flame swords!

But to be more on topic- I've never been jumped because most of the assholes at my school are really short.

 

[gamingfan1989]

I've never really had too much trouble with being jumped.  When I was in elementary school, no one even thought of fucking with me because they'd know I'd tear them up (I wasn't well disciplined lol).  In middle school my parents started getting strict and I was weak, and I didn't stand up for myself so I was the target of a lot of bullying.  When I got to high school, I had been taking Kempo and Tae Kwan Do for about a year, and had been involved in kickboxing/sparring tourneys.  Now, whenever someone decided they were going to talk down to me, I'd tell them to fuck off.  Then I'd say, let's settle this in kickboxing, but they'd say that they did boxing so I would do that, and mess them up anyways.  The truth is no one wants to fight me now because I'm bigger than most of them, and I actually talked down to a lot of the bullies that were in our school.  They knew I'd send them to the hospital if they talked to me in the wrong tone .

But dude; don't pull the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air trick anymore, it's disheartening .

Want to avoid fights? Turn Random Encounters off, but you're going to regret it when you have to fight Sephiroth.
