if you were about to get jumped by about five boys your same age and bigger what would you do?

Answer 1

Pick the biggest one...and unload on him...give it all you have...you may get your *** beat...but let him know he's been in a fight.

Answer 2

If I knew ahead of time that this could happen?
I would do a few things:

Tell someone who could do something to stop them from menacing you. Ask for that someone's help to resolve the matter or at least keep you safe.

Hang with influential people. Sometimes these are not the people who are the toughest bad-asses - but they do have power to negotiate on your behalf to settle the dispute. In your position, my guess is that these people that you need help from are likely not your friends. You can approach them and tell the problem, then ask what they would do in your shoes. They might laugh at you at first, but then when they realize you value their opinion, they might decide to help. Besides, humiliation is better than a pummeling. You have more to gain in this scenario than you have to lose.

If I felt my life was in danger, I would leave the premises.
Sun Tu wrote in his book, The Art of War, that you never engage in a battle that you cannot win. He taught Samurais and Kings how to fight and achieve victory. His advice still works today.

If I couldn't leave the premises, I would do what I had to in order to protect myself. This does not always mean carry a weapon: if you don't know how to use a gun -DON"T BRING ONE. It will escalate the situation and cut off your options. Getting beat up is better than getting killed. Same goes for a knife, a bat, or anything like that. If you need protection, your best option is to not be there in the first place.

Your second best option is your wits.

If you still feel you need a weapon, you need to get TRAINING to USE the weapon. If you think you need a weapon, use your fists. They are nearby and don't take any special planning or permits to carry them around.

Another thing you can do is trust your guts. If you don't mind reading, there is a book called "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin De Becker. He works on predicting the behavior of violent people for the president and several celebrities. He tells you how to determine how likely a person is to carry out a threat and when you can tell a person is about to attack. This information could be helpful to you.

I hope this helps,

Answer 3

Try to get help - run into a crowded place and shout FIRE. Do not shout HELP as people do not respond to this. Hopefully the commotion caused will prevent the attack.

If you have to fight - try to stay on your feet and kick the shins of the nearest person. Use your elbows to score blows in the middle of their chests - this takes the wind out of them - do not punch to the face. If you are really fighting for your life (and only then) - punch with all your might to the throat - but this can kill!

But always look to run away as soon as you have the chance to.

Best of all - avoid situations where this can happen if at all possible.

Answer 4

Go for the leader. Taunt him first and get him mad (angry people don.t think, they react) capitalize on the moment of his bravado and strike first strike hard. It will take his buddies a few seconds to jump in in that time you should be able to land several good blows to the nose throat and crotch. you ARE going to lose the fight but make thier victory as expensive as you can. Some martial arts training is also a good idea but keep in mind that it is not the end all and be all that tv makes it out to be. In a situation such as the one you describe the only option is to discourage future attacks by showing them that targeting you is going to cost them.

Answer 5

Report it to: If at school, the principal.
If else where, the police.

A threat is unlawful, and the police are supposed to intervene on your behalf if you report it. If you report it the police they will have a record that you reported it and asked for help. Have your parents report it and have them file a complaint. Also have them keep a record of who they reported it to, with the time and date, name and rank of the officer. Etc.

This is a serious crime! This is the kind of thing that gets a Columbine started. When bullies go to far!

Answer 6

Feet don't fail me now!! If I could not run I would get ready to take a beating. And then hit the biggest and meanest with everything I had right on the button. If you are going down take as many with you as you can. In the mean time learn some defence techniques. Maybe at Karate or Judo clubs in your area.

Answer 7

I would run like the wind. Then I would go find five even bigger boys to help me out if it ever happened again.

Answer 8

This actually happend to a buddy of mine many years ago at club outside of East St. Louis. He and his football buddies were doing the Porky's thing at a club one night and he started to feel sick from drinking and the flu...so he went outside to upchuck. Some local dudes came upon our hapless white boy (he's actually a big boy and state trooper today) and decide to rob him. Well my friend turned to face his multiple aggressors and promptly threw up....compelling his assailants to back away in disgust with comments, "oooohhh that's nasty white boy."

So vomit!!! It's a proven method.

Answer 9

Personally, I would look at the biggest one, point to him, and say in a loud voice, "It is a good day to die". That usually makes them think twice about fighting a person. If they didn't back off, then I'd take out knee caps with my feet, gouge out eyeballs with my fingers, pull of ears with my hands, take a bite out of it and hand it back to the person. If they still persist, use your elbows to get them in the ribs, and rip apart their cheeks (mouth wise) or their noses. If that doesn't help, then run.

Answer 10

Run if you can.

If you can't run, turn yourself into a trapped animal and get vicious. Don't wait for them to start the attack. Take the offense and start your attack. If you can drop the first guy with a good punch, there's the chance that the rest of them will back off. Do your best to maintain the initiative.

Answer 11

Hit the one that is the biggest and while he is running his mouth, because his jaw is loose, as hard as you can. When he drops the others will back off for a second then run as fast as you can.
