Oh and to quickly add on that. I've been in high school for five years now, and I've dealt with enough assholes like him to know that if you hit them hard enough and they stay down the first time...they won't get back up.
Ska, see at my school, there is a way we deal with things. We get to the mouths before they go into their sophmore year, and they learn their place. If they're lucky, we won't hurt them too badly. :D
And plus, when you use weapons, it just makes your actions a lot louder. I know.
And akybra, yea..I have a short temper...but I get along fairly well with people who have a general respect for others.
So if you don't understand why it makes people happy to lower other peoples self esteem why do you feel the need to stoop to their level with physical violence? Kicking their ass isn't going to make them shut up. It'll just make them screw with people more.
