Honestly? It's better to be labeled violent than weak.
I was that kid. All the way up till I had 3 breaking points. I knocked a kid out with a book, slammed another into a locker repeatedly, and slammed a kid leaning chair back, mounted and beat the shit out of him.
After that? No one picked on me again. I didn't get hemmed up too hard luckily, cause the teachers saw each interaction and knew the context as well as the past before these points. They tried stopping it, but being the only white kid in an all black school? Makes you a prime fuckin target.
Weird that it took three beat downs for kids to stop picking on you. Didn't stop after the first two...unless you pulled some Jackie Chan shit and did a 3v1?
Definitely not, it was more they'd start small, the. Get more aggressive over time before I blew up. The third time was VERY close to the 2nd fight as I learned I needed to nip it in the bud
I'm sorry you went through that. I'm a school counselor and used to work at the three high schools in Compton. I'm Latino but I saw first hand how hard it was for non brown or black students to get along there. Very quiet and kept to themselves.
I got fucked with most of middle school by a few groups, one day I walked into class late with a crowd by the door and got punched in the back of the head. Saw red and turned around and tried to push one of the kids who fucked with me against the wall so I could beat the shit out of him. There was a fire extinguisher in the way..... Split his scalp open and the paramedics came.... Everyone from that school thought I was a psycho after that but ain't nobody picked on me past that point.
