Have you ever been in a fight?

Question

If yes, why? How did you feel?
If you haven't, do you want to?
What would you do to avoid one?

Answer 1

yes. because fighting is fun. and the adrenaline rush is great. but, now i have a career to think about, and since people are more likely to press charges these days, i try to avoid them at all costs. being a grownup sucks. :(

Answer 2

Yes, I have been in a fight. You feel like an animal. There is no intellectual reasoning occuring. Only instincts, adrenaline, heart beating fast, breathing is deep and fast. Sense intensify.

Because I have been in fights and I am an above average fighter I tend to avoid them at all costs. Too much to lose. There are legal ramifications not to mention medical expenses to consider. Fighting should always be the last resort when there is absolutely positively no other way of resolving an issue. Therefore there should never be any fighting.

Answer 3

In a physical fight, yes, once. I didn't start it, a girl whom always wanted anyone or anything I did have started it, with another girl, two against one. One was high, and they were more complaining than ready to fight. I was winning until a bigger boy broke it up. I really went after the girl I knew started all the talk, it'd been this way for years, and I let her know it. I felt awful she would come after me, and glad I could finally vent how much I resented her attention, (envy, or whatever you call it, she was an only child and did have so much I didn't), her gossip, and alienated me from people I would have liked as friends. It was over then.

One time, with my son young in a stroller, a girl started a fight with me. She was at least ten years younger, and I said she was mistaken, I didn't have a fight with her. She did think we did share a mutual friend, we didn't. She struck me a couple of times, and I bled a little, although I didn't dare strike her back, or move against her in any way. I tried to keep the situation calm, check for weapons, and I tried to position myself to push the stroller on, dreadfully dreading a fight, should she go at the stroller. She didn't, she was maybe high, she walked away.

I would walk out the nearest door to avoid a fight, keeping my mouth shut. Report the incident and the people involved.
If I were outside, as in the second incident, I would quickly move to a safer location, call loudly for help, and run as fast as I can to the nearest friends house, or police department.

Answer 4

I have been in a LOT of fights. Most were verbal altercations, but a few have turned into fistfights. During the fights I always feel like I am justified in my actions, but immediately afterwards I feel sorry for sinking to their level and embarrassing any friends and family who might have been there with me, and I tend to feel bad about potentially hurting the other person.

Lately I try to avoid fights by either ignoring people if they try to start something with me, or by trying to use some argumentation skills I learned in college to try to reason with them. I also now limit my usage of my car horn to three times per month, as many of my fights began after I honked my horn at someone out of road rage.

Answer 5

Well yes i've been in a fight.In that moment you fell really cool but after that when you see what have you doned then you wont fell so good.
Is much better to avoid those fights.Try to let the other one feel good and don't say nothing.But if he really want a fight then give him a fast nose kick!It works!He will leave crying!

Answer 6

A few. Always to defend myself.
I avoid fights by being alert, smiling a lot, and being willing to ask disarming questions (how can I help you?).
When that approach fails, I am capable of defending myself, and have no qualms about doing so.

Answer 7

no i haven't ever been in a fight, i kinda wish i would get into one but want it to be against someone i really dislike and not near school because that's bad for the future, but i think it would be an interesting experience.

Answer 8

When I was in grade 8 we had this class project and at the end of class I was made fun of and I made fun of the guy back by saying he loved barney and drew a picture of him and barney on the chalkboard. He got mad and asked some kid in grade 5 who was in takwondo(sp?) to beat me up. So I was walking up 2 flights of stairs to my next class when this kid started punching and kicking me from behind. My reaction - I threw all my books down the stairs toward him and then jumped him, we both went down the stairs but when we got to the bottom landing I was on his back and just grabbed a handful of hair and started smashing his face into the floor, it took 4 people to get me off him. I was furious and so full of adrenaline, I didn't think I had it in me but here I was pounding the crap out of this kid. I felt like it was a dream and everything was in slow motion. The lesson he should have learned was don't attack random people because they might just kick your butt. For me, the lesson was, some people are too chicken to fight their own fights. I came out of that battle with many bruises. The school kicked me out because I defended myself, but I didn't care.
In grade 3 one of my class mates thought it would be funny to hit me in the mouth with his hockey stick, at first I ran away crying but our gym teacher made me go back in to play. Well, lo and behold the brilliant class mate was in net on the opposite team, let's just say I didn't miss. Thing is, his aunt was our teacher so you can imagine how much trouble I got in for that - had to go to a different school that time too.
In grade 1, the mayor's son was in my class and we were out for recess when he touched my bum. I wipped around and punched him square in the mouth, he lost a few teeth that day. My daddy always taught me that touching other people in ways they don't like deserves a punch.
Now, unless I'm hit first I won't react. I'll calmly tell the person that I think it's a waste of time and that it's okay if we don't get along, fighting doesn't resolve anything. But if they throw a punch my way they'd better be prepared to face the fury they unleash. I'm really not vicious!!

Answer 9

Yup! I remember when I was in 4th grade!
Me and my friends were playing jackstones inside the classroom! One of the boys just came rushing on us! And steal our jacks!
So, I ran off at him! And punch him and he punch me too!
I gave him a hard fight and he did too!

Then all of my classmates keep saying!"No, Go"
I didn't actually understood them by what they mean that time!

We were both sent to the Guidance Office and got suspension for a whole week!

How to avoid it!
Don't loose yourself too easily!
Somehow, think of yourself! and ask "Would it be good for me!?"

Answer 10

I've never been in a fight although I wanted to knock some people out a few times. I just think it's stupid to "solve" your problems with physical violence.
