Please don't fight. Trust me I've been in a few scraps and I ended up getting expelled and had to go to a continuation school, where you have no choice but to fight b*tches all day.
I think you should tell him to his face in front of everyone how much of a big dumb*ss he is an that you're better than to fight him.
Your dad was wrong and if you don't believe me hit straight and hold your hands to you mouth and hit hard and even you dad will get mad
Violence is NOT the answer. You need to go up to him and tell him you're sorry.
Now before people say crap like violence is bad listen to this in the past 4 years of highschool I have been getting bullied like crazy I try to get help nothing happens I try to talk to teachers they aren't able to move my schedule
At lunch they take my food at football they are gerks and recently he has gotten VERY popular we have a big school and things he say can spred fast as well as he challenged me to a fight I'm 5'6 150 lbs a bit bigger that him
The problem I've never been in a fight and I can't tell a teacher because I want somewhat of a good reputation and before my dad left to go to the army he said never back down from a fight so I'm taking that to mean I have to fight so how can I throw an awesome punch please help
