a lot and now if i ball up my hands it hurts but i still fight ,i dont start it tho because of my friends being small and i know my skills, and its all so because my build im 5'5 180lb of muscle and fat (more muscle) so generally people think im slow but im one of the fastest and most skilled in my school and people generally think when i move ill be loud but im pretty silent
all i say is dont get in one just learn to fight
its better to know how to fight and not to fight, then fight and not know how

Tons and tons, haven't fought in years though.

Back in Elementary school I beat some kid with a chair. After that I had no fights whatsoever. Play fights yes. But not real fights

Damn, how did that go?

I think I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and someone was bullying me. Punching , Kicking etc. So I came home with some bruises one day and it got my mother upset. I don't live with my father so she only raises me along with my uncle and grandma. So my mother told me to fight back if I get hit again but before I do that I should tell the teacher first. The teacher didn't do anything and told me to suck it up. So when that bully came again I told her to stop. She didn't listen of course and she smacked me. I let go for a second and let her go to the front of the class before the teacher came back and I threw a chair at her. I ran over and took another chair and started beating her with it after that. Eventually the teacher broke me off and she threatened to suspend me. Then my mother came in and told the teacher how I always ran to her when I got bullied and how she didn't do anything. So the principle sided with me and decided not to suspend me and he told her if she heard the same thing happing again she would let her go I think. A few years later I went back to my old school and found out she wasn't there anymore. I think she got the pink slip I don't know though

i got into fights at school everyday cuz i went to a predominantly Mexican school and i was dating a Mexican girl. also go shot at couple of times getting off my bus from school.

Oh, I see. The teacher and the bully got what they deserved.

Agreed. I have no idea if she got fired though.

Yeah, we are not sure about that.

I was in a few, I held my own even though I was really weak, though I could take a blow

Yes, back in elementary, I always had fights. But luckily, no one was seriously injured or I would've been sued.

Yep, where i live theres fights everyday, people getting jumped or accused for something they didnt do and this is solved by throwing hands, ive fought plenty, and in one fight i broke some kids jaw along with my pinkie (my pinkie knuckle and ring-finger knuckle were shifted and now u cant see my pinkie knuckle and the other one is just smaller then before) that was my last one and that was about... a year ago i believe.

Yes. I learned that violence really is a last resort. The damage from a fight can be bad enough to make it undesirable.

many times

Plenty of times, I haven't fought in a long while, and always attempt to dissolve a situation.

My most notable fights would be when I was jumped by a group of wanna-be gangbangers outside of high school. I beat the 3 of them fairly badly and then told them to stop being such dicks. Only had a couple scrapes and bruises (key is to be on the retreat).

In the end violence does Solve things, but It's still an undesirable situation. I prefer to look as threatening as possible and try not to get into a fight, not so much out of fear as it is out of not wanting to hurt anyone.
