Ok, this thread should be called "the idiocy of the human race" but I'm pretty sure that would be just a little too mean. But anyway, today at my school there were 2 fights in the same hall,at the same time. Wow. One was on one end of the hall, by my 1st hour, the other was by my friend Annie's 1st hour.

I just wanted to know what every civilized person thought of the whole fighting issue. Oh yeah, some of the kids in my first hour, (jocks, surprise, surprise) were talking about being in high school, taking a camcorder to school, and videotaping the fights. post about your (?) opinion about that, too.
 
Physical fights are for the intellectually challenged.

I guess there might be a connection between those who fight (or are more prone to) and their level of education. Of course it wouldn't always be the case though.
 
I have many fights at school, yet I am not intellectually challenged. Weird isn't it? I just don't like people who think they can pull their weight around and can trample over me. I don't care what anyone thinks, If you fight and win chances are they will never annoy you again. :)
 
^If you are smart, despite having a body that let's you pull your weight in a fight, you'll avoid violence at all costs. I find it sickening for one that people enjoy beating the crap out of each other like a bunch of undeveloped Neanderthals.
 
Fighting in school is fun, and people who look downward on it are normally just upset because they themselves cannot fight.

I am not a huge fighter, one or two fights in total. Most of the time it is just a way of telling somebody that you shouldn't be messed with. Overall I don't think fighting in schools would be a good idea, as most of the time it doesn't get a whole lot done, but one thing that I have problems with are 0-Tolerance policies in schools toward fighting. Most of the time all that does is help to mount tensions, and if a person wants to be violent, they'll just get the most out of their one chance...

Intellectuals fight, it has always been that way. From the Renaissance Man's ideal of a well rounded individual, to modern times, when Americans champion people like Huckleberry Fin, and other literary people who come across as "scrappy".
 
Most schools say they will do something about bullying, yet this usually is not the case. If someone won't stop bugging you, and I mean like real harassment, a good punch will show them that you're not gonna take it. While use that advice myself, I would never do that more than once to a person, unless they keep harassing you.

Why should I avoid violence? If someone is annoying me, I will beat them up. You must show your better than them then they will know their place.

I don't agree with you. You could beat up someone 100 times and you still won't be better than them. The only reason to punch someone in school is to show you are equal to them and you aren't gonna put up with their crud
 
I actually think the Camcorder idea is a good one. If they tape EVERY SINGLE FIGHT or close to that, and then put it all together in a video, with a thing that counts the number of fights in the school, it might prove a point that they need to stop fighting, or tha the teachers need to step up security.
 
There are some fights at my school. But they really seem to multiply near the end of school. We had 2 fights within the same area. (One was on the overpass and one was one the steps.

I don't believe in starting fights but, if your having the snot beat out of you then you have too. I would fight for self defense. I haven't been in any fights though because I'm cool with everybody. :p

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, well, do it while it works for you. It's that kind of animalistic behavior that gets you into trouble later on in your life. But hey, if you think it works, be my guest and put all those people right where they 'belong'.

Obviously everyone will try to defend themselves, that's only natural. I was pointing out that you could/should try to avoid violence at all costs as nothing good comes from it but pain and hatred.

I am not liked by everybody cuz everybody is jealous of me. I've never gotten into any fights mostly because I'm faster and smarter then them and tire them out before they can get to me....or get into the sight of an adult, which helps to as they will suddenly lose the nerve to get physical.
 
i am not a jock or geek the place people put me in is gamer or stoner. i dose not matter what social place you hold fights happen everywhere. i have had many fights i was brout up to think fighting was good. i am very smart but i can hold my own on the street. i prefer mental fights over the more violent one but you need to stand your ground.
 
My second day of school had 2 fights. The people fighting were all expelled. It was over something so stupid that I felt bad for them. They end up beaten and bruised, with an expulsion on thier record, and no education.

I try to avoid violence as much as possible, but sometimes you just can't avoid it.
 
Fights are dumb. All you accomplish is beating each other up and getting in trouble. Of course there might be a sort of "rep" you gain, but that doesn't matter at all in the long run. School is for learning and growing as a person, and you should try to focus on your education and activities as much as possible, and avoid all of the idiots that try to sidetrack you. Especially in High School, when you should be thinking about college. School is full of distractions, it is ultimately up to you if you want to be distracted or if you want to be focused.

My advice: Want to beat people up? Join the wrestling or football team, at least you don't get in trouble for it there.
 
Fights? They're bad :0? Man, where're you guys talking about, they are the most exciting thing of the whole school happening. They're fun to watch, just get a chair and be sure you have a place in the front.

Yes, I've fought some times, but it was nessecary. Sometimes my anger takes over and I have to, then they got their lesson and won't do it again, and it works.

But seriously, why do you think fights are bad? They don't hurt you, those who fight have chosen to do it. So nothing terribly wrong then?
 
I really think that most of the fights are caused by whoever is initaly being picked on is immature (I understand this isn't always the case though.) If someone is going to use the different meathods there guidence councelor told them to do when a "bully" "approaches", of course you are going to get picked on. Sometimes kids think that doing stuff like the "the silent meathod" or the "just walk away meathod" will work, but it will just make people call you the g-word, and beat the shellos out of you. Me and my friends get into little fights all the time. We slam eachother into lockers, or five-star, etc. What we don't do is make a big deal out of it. Unless it's causing you serious physical damage, the key to avoiding fights is to be smooth. Trust me, I'm a doctor ;)
