I am labelled the "xbox nerd" at school and I have only 1 friend who is like me. We are hardcore halo fans but there are bullies who seek vengeance on us for liking xbox. Once 1 of them punched me in the face and my tank brother sorted him out, but mybrother said he would only do it once and I must stand up for myself. Sure I am a black belt in Taekwondo (as of 2 months ago) but that does not help verbal teasing. Any advice?

I believe Randomly Issued has a quote that will come in handy for a situation like this...

Just toughen up like I did. Believe me but I can take down some people in my school. All are strong people. You know what. DOn't take my advice. It's just you and your friend. Just ignore the bullies and if that doesn't work....... Well just don't start punching them or else you'll likely be thrown across.

Throw an Xbox controller at him. Preferably a Duke, to make him... Never mind, there is actually no point to that.

Just ignore it.

If it is just verbal insults then stop being such a baby. I have recieved more verbal insults then you could imagine in my life from little insects of people that I could crush with ease. Toughen up and ignore it or beat the living daylights out of them to forcable earn thier respect.

read my sig.


or, if your smart, just laugh along. if they call you a nerd, say "Yah got me!". if they call you a dumass, say "YOU must be right!" (emphasis on YOU). if they push you, push back. if they punch you, back off. if they laugh at you, laugh along and they'll stop. just act wierd and they'll move on.

When it comes down to it, Verbal Abuse is just that... it causes no harm unless you listen to it and get hurt by it. Ignore them. If it's still a major issue then go to your teachers or counsellors or soemthing.

If it gets physical, I say defend yourself, but don't by whuppin ass cos that'll only get you in trouble. Regardless of who started it, if you hurt them you're in the deep end.

BTW, how old are you?

Well since you area a rank Black Belt in Taekwondo, defend yourself if they physically attack you. You do or used to spar with other students at your dojo right? Take what you have learned and trained for from your Master and put it to good use when neccessary.

Kick em in the balls or continually flip them off. Both either shut people up, make them laugh, or both.

Or you could just ignore them.

When he cracked me in the face He caught me by surprise. 2 of his cronies held me while he punched me. He had pathetic technique, his thumb was inside his curled fist! Yeah I think I will stand up and if he gives me any physical trouble i'll cut off his air circulation or paralyse his ass. But do you think that i'll earn respect by bashin the crap outa him?

Read my earlier post. You probably make him fear you then earn his respect.
