Ok here's my story
I was told not to fight, so I run because I was more scared of the beating I'd get when I got home then I was getting a black eye. It wasn't till I got older I figured out I'm getting pushed around by the bullies anyhow, getting my butt in trouble, landing myself in the principles office anyways so dammed if I do dammed if I don't.
My mom took my side, grabbed the principle by the dam neck tie and told him she was tired of me being used for a door mat and if she came back down there she was going to throw him through that glass plated window :mrgreen:
Sure, I got myself into enough trouble not getting bullied but enough was enough and Charles Bronson was hot with the Death Wish series and I got the idea with a role of quarters in a sock was a good weapon to make the difference :whistling:
6th grade and asked a girl for a BJ and the older brother came after me which got the quarters upside the head which landed him in the hospital and me writing the ten commandments 100X each after school everyday :lol:
7th grade different school more bullies and no role of quarters to use so had to improvise with a set of brass knuckles after seeing Rocky "aka eye of the tiger" and that landed me in the cafeteria come lunch time and couldn't go out to play with my friends :hmmm:
Didn't stop the bullies though, pretty much by now I had a reputation and in a small town up north, back then it wasn't cool to be from the south and living up north and my dad was a supervisor in a large plant so wasn't like a lot of these kids I went to school with didn't hear my dad's name over supper and relate it to my name., This I didn't realize till much later and by that time it was too late anyways, we had moved.
10th grade, we'll we moved to Miami, Florida and I said, new start and no one knows me. Same bullies but to this day I don't know the principle of that high schools name, LOL
Just the name of the High School Miami Sunset Sr. High
Couple a bullies tested me, knocked some heads around on two occasions in the first three months I was there and that was that, I was left alone, no problems and fit in with most of the crowds, just a cultural shock going from an all white prominent school in the north to 50 different ethnicities at one time was like a different world.
Did have a couple Cubans tell me they were going to get the Cuban Mafia after me I said bring them on, I'm from Chicago and ken to Al Capone :whistling:
