When I was about 12 years old ,I wanted boxing gloves . My father who had fought pro in the local area in the 30's bought them for me. I put them on, not even lacing them and started to wail away at him. He told me to stop and of course I didn't this went on for a few more seconds, me hitting wildly at his body and he telling me to wait, to stop. I didn't. HE snapped a jab off my nose and it bled instantly. My poor mother went nuts, lol. HE then sat me down and we proceeded to talk about boxing/fighting. He explained it this way. Unless you are going to compete, then never raise your fist unless you intend to use them. I guess it's similar to don't point a gun at anyone unless you intend to pull the trigger. He taught me all the tricks in the book about boxing, but stressed that it was to be used as a defense when no other means is available and your back was to the wall or family was being threatened. I learned quickly and the only time I needed it was when bullied or pushed to the brink. Funny what one quick jab to the nose can do. lol. No need to be afraid to hit, if you know how and when it's absolutely necessary.
If you don't have the guts to punch someone, see a doctor. There you can get transplants because you need guts to live. Hope this helped.
It's okay to be scared of it, but I would try to condition your knuckles a bit, just in case you have to.
Im a girl in year 9 (13 years old) and the year 8 boys get on my nerves so much. one time there was a little kid who started taking the mick and because i get angry so easily, i can snap in seconds. i wanted to punch him so bad but scared i wouldnt hurt him. ive never been in a fight but i train and ive got some muscle. i practiced on my left hand and it hurt. but im still scared to punch someone?
