hi, heres the deal.
earlier on today i was in my bedroom window and i decided to have a few target practice with my bb gun.
i aimed for a lampost about 25 yrds away, i shot but missed.
but heres the dilemma: when i shot my next door neighbour walked out and he thought i was shooting at him so he gave some verbal abuse. i am now stuck with the fact that this bloke is pretty popular with all his freinds and could get me in hospital... what do i do?
im 18 and he is 17 (i think) but he is very popular, i hardly ever see him around and i need to know what to do

I think you should go to his house and just explain yourself. Refrain from shooting at anything in your neighbourhood, someone could get hurt. All the best. God bless!!!

Soft tissue will stop people from attacking no matter how strong they are!!
practice daily with you fingers to rip platic bags or package stuff.....all you need is strong fingers, make sure you use your pointing fingers and your thumbs!!!!
Aim for all the following areas:
Between the throat and the chin on your jaw....on each side you can push upwards or towards themselves and cause pain.
Underneath the armpit......press inwards towards the body.
Tissue just above the collar bone........you can push towards their body or downwards to control their body.
You can also go to his home and apologize for the wrong doing......explain that it didn't mean to be for him, you s*ck at aiming and missed the lamp post......you really weren't aiming at him and completely apologize for the shot.......then ask him if he wants to aim and shoot the gun with him.....even if you don't care for his friendship but it is a gesture of being friendly and not wanted any trouble!!
In case he attacks now you know what points you can use without causing death, damage (eternal injury: or injury that will affect him for the rest of his life)., injury (an injury that will be noticed and affect him for a while.....depending on how bad it could be anthing from 3 days to 3 years if body strong enough to recuperate)., hurt (an injury that affects him from the moment you apply to up to 3 days after)., or pain (the feeling of pain while you apply the pressure on the point of balance on body but will automatically go away as soon as you let go of the point).
Good luck and I hope this helps you!!

First off, what an idiot to be shooting a BB gun anywhere near people. Buy a target and go someplace in the country or the woods to shoot. That's what we did for my son. Apologize to this guy right away. He's about your age so he should be a little bit more understanding than I would be.

You need to apologize, and have your gun taken away for a time period to be set by your parents. You also need to apologize to his parents for endangering their child.
You have demonstrated that you cannot use such a weapon responsibly, and you must suffer the consequences. Were you going to pay for the lamppost you planned to vandalize? I doubt it.
You are very lucky that he did not call the police on you. Most people would have.

Move -- and get your GED thru Alternative school.
No, don't hide, it won't make things any better. If they start harassing you, make sure and let someone know what happened (you may want to tell your parents now, so they will actually believe you).
Good Luck!

Go across and apologise and count yourself lucky. If it had been me I would have called the police, and instead of sitting at you computer you would be surrounded by a swat team

well you cant really start a fight with him because hes still technically a minor and your an adult. i would just see if things pass over. legally i would say get rid of the bb gun. just dont act afraid around him and he will probably leave you alone...or avoid him for a few days to let things blow over...

Address the situation immediatly. The next time you see him out explain what you were doing and that you were really glad that you didn't hit him.

Upgrade that BB gun to a .45 and take care of the neighbor.
