Please help! A fight will happen...

[jabcrosshook]

There is a 'popular' guy called Blair who is deemed a 'pussy', 'whimp' etc by his mates, so he decides to prove he's not by picking on Doug.

Just going off topic, did anyone else notice this
Oh the irony.

[Illustrious]

oh yeh i noticed it, lmao.

Anyways, 50 guys wont jump in, trust me on that one. a few will, some of the braver lot will first and if they get smashed quick and quiet, most of those other lads wont bother taking the risk, they'll suddenly remember they had homework. If a fight does break out, it wont last long especially on school grounds.

and just for the record... everyone knows a guy like kyle, no one fcuks with kyle... EVER lol.

50 people: chances are, as said above, most will just go to be there and act the part. Its best not to take that chance so if it comes down to it, make sure you know you're going to have to give it everything as it could be all 50 people. Your mentality mate. Im not promoting the fight here, if anything its best to avoid it. Im just trying to get the point across that if you're attacked, defend yourself.

Seeming as its just a school fight mate, its best if your mates parents go and have words with Blair's parents to sort this out before it spills over out of school grounds which is when it is more likely to go over the top.

Have you spoken to your parents about it?

Have you spoken to your parents about it?

Yes I have spoken to my parents. My mother basically said that I should defend myself. She said just to knock them out (suprisingly).
She really just wants me to show them im not scared.

We know we have a slim chance, but as I said before, it doesn't matter to us whether we win or lose, just that we stand up for ourselves.
We are really sick of it.

As others have said theres no way all those 50 will fight, when I first went to secondary there were lots of problems with the yr 9's trying to control the school. So our year which was made up of a lot of 'hard' people started fights with them. We needed to get about 25 people together to guarantee 2 would fight, the other side about the same . During school people like to act hard, so they'll gather together the strongest guys will dive in, most likely no one will follow, and if the strong guys get knocked back 100% chance no one else will follow. When the fight happens ignore the crowd aroun, the guy that steps forward is your only target, drop him and assuming your friends have done likewise with any others who step forward it will be all over. To concentrate on the crowd would be a mistake, allowing there strongest guys to get in and hit you down.

School age fights could be fought of as a large game of dodgeball with slightly modified rules, every time you hit a memeber of the opposite team one more of your team will be allowed into the field of play, and 3 of the opposing team will have to step out. Think of the crowd as out of play, a handful of people on each team will start, throw your punches at the players in play, you hit one, several the others who came forward will step out, one more on your side will step in. But obviously you allow the other teams in players to be succesful then more of theres will run in, and your 'friends' will abandon you. This is true in 99% of school age fights your teams 'strong guys' are winning then people on your side will rush in to kick the weakened teams guys; your strong guys losing, everyone on your side backs off.

Don't think 50 people vs 15, think 3 vs 3; you can win it easily. People do not want to fight unless they think they can win, this continues throughout life but is empasisied in the school mentality. Good on your mum for saying just lay them out, its the best way forward; I know I'm closer to school age then several other members and not as mature but I remember well the difference between standing to in a fight, even if you lose, and calling in the parents/teachers in terms of permanently ending the problem or just postponing it.

if the worst happens and you lose, it wont take long for it to spread through the school that it took a ratio of 5:1 for them to beat you down. then they look like the pussys.
My way of evening a fight was always to say stuff like 'what? you're so scared of me you AND your mates are going to fight me. wow...your mates obviously dont think your very tough'
I had one occasion when that actually made the 2 guys wanting to fight me beat each other up while i walked away because they got into an arguement over who was tougher...idiots.

[Alfa]

I had to laugh when I read the background to the "fight."

I'd forgotten how dramatic school kids can be

By the sounds of it, this is all just tough talk, I wouldn't be suprised if they don't even bother doing anything. It's amazing how well most people can talk a good fight but as has already been mentioned it's usually only ever the tasty ones who actually put their money were their mouth is so I wouldn't worry about it mate.

Funny though that the 50 strong gang turns out to be just the "it" crowd, an here's me thinking you were up against the Mongrel Mob or something

[riflebutt]

But no seriously mate, if the fight starts theres gonna be 60 people. That's gonna attract some attention bud, so if it al goes tits up just seriously bugger off down an alley no1 will notice..

[Illustrious]

agreed with above, with so many people involved, if a ruck starts, while its all going crazy, you and ya mates sneak off round the back alley and leave the other 50 kicking the shit outta each other

[designervision]

Out of 50 people, 90% of them will be at the back filming it on their phones.

Then most of the other 10% will be the lads who run in for a cheeky kick then run away.

Haha. Very true. Sounds exactly like them.

It really annoys me how they are little girls by themselves but act tough when they are in groups, yet don't expect to ever have to fight for real.

[Mr_Kiwi]

haha the mongrel mob... how do you know about them crazy buggers?
if it were 50 of them on to 10 school boys no amount of advice could help.

Being somebody who was bullied a lot at school I guess I can't say much but the one thing I can say is stick up for your self what ever happens. I think 90% of the people that bullied me I could have beat but I didn't because I thought if I was kind to them they would stop, but was I wrong! At school most of the fights are won with the guy with the most confidence, well that was what I was told and found out personaly when I was beaten 3 times while at secondary school. It was a very bad cycle, in my lower years I used to cry about going back to school some days because I couldn't stand the bullying, lock myself in my room etc, untill I was dragged to school, even if I missed the school bus on purpose my mum would still manage to find time to drive me in. And then it would be the same for the next day and the next day, there were very few days I was not made fun of, name calling I didn't mind, sticks and stones, but stealing my pencil case seemed to become a very popular sport. And what made it worse was my mum wanted me to have the best education I could get so she would spend lots of money on new calculaters, fountin pens, pencil cases (I once had this really nice black rubber one) but of course these would be nicked and in the end for the last year 11 I ended up with nothing and keep on borrowing pens from friends (I did have friends, not one of thoes poke'mon collecting people ).
Somebody said something about telling a teacher, I really don't think they have much power these days, I remember my parents the night before going into school to talk with one of my teachers about it. Next day I am being put into head locks, I used to try and laugh with them because I thought they only liked to pick on people who would make a fuss. Last thing I wanted is fighting. It was about 10 minutes of this untill the teacher sent them out and about a little talk the guy came back in again and no lession was learnt. Now I half forgive those who picked on me as it was a school thing but if they did it again they would be going down on the floor (exept one or two who are bigger then me ).
As I said at the start stand up for yourself, as most people have said they will not all fight, they may not even all want to because they might try and suddenly be mature about it.

Ok thanks guys!

Righto, now, does anyone know how I can psych myself up? Or similar - like telling myself to just do it?

Thanks,
Sam.
