Sort of? In Jr. High I hit a kid in the ribs and he just fell down and cried. Not really a fight. Then in High School a kid slapped me in the face and ran, so later in the day when I saw him again, I slapped him in the face. He got pissed and started punching at my stomach, but he was punching so softly that I barely felt it and just kind of stared at him until it got awkward and he stopped and stormed off. Do either of those count?

@Madhatter Haha, do you think they should count?

@ImRileyTheDog Maybe the second one. At least one blow was exchanged by both parties. I'd say that's a fight. Just the lamest fight that was ever fought.

@Madhatter Got in any trouble?

Madhatter · 31-35, M

@ImRileyTheDog Nope! I was a goody-two shoes. Never sent to the office, never suspended, never got detention. The vice principal did come over after that second "fight" to ask what happened. I just said "I honestly have no idea." and he was just like "...alright." and went about his business.

@Madhatter Haha, I’m a pretty good kid too and I have always wonder what it would like to be on the other side. Not giving a crap, being close with the administration because always getting called to the office and stuff lol.

@ImRileyTheDog I imagine it's a pain in the ass. Seems like it takes way more time and effort to be a prick than it is to just do the schoolwork and go home.

@Madhatter Possibly but honestly everyone loves those kind of students. They’re know for causing trouble and being loud.

@ImRileyTheDog Well the other kids love them, sure. They're entertaining in an otherwise boring environment. The staff probably doesn't like them so much. They make their jobs harder. Those kids also tend to have a more difficult time adjusting to the adult world, which can lead to some problems later on. Just keep in mind that school ends and most of those people you won't ever see again afterward. It's not [i]really[/i] important to be popular, though it may feel like it at the time.
