Drive your son over to his house now!!!






next day at school

Fair enough. I always preferred to be the kid that won the fight but to each his own.I wasAs a retired school-yard fighter I have some advice to offer. Some has been covered already, but my EXPERT OPINION on the matter should help bring it all togehter.
1. The other kid(s) are expecting him to be scared. First thing he should do when he gets to school tomorrow is find the other boy and say, "Where and when are we doing this? I want to make sure I'm not late."
2. When the "fight" is set to begin, the expectation is that there will be some talking and jawing and swearing followed by someone shoving someone else. If the other kid comes in for the shove, your son absolutely without fail needs to punch him in the nose. Not the chest or stomach or chin but the nose. If he lands one good shot on the nose the fight will be over.
3. The same goes in reverse, if the other kid hits your son in the nose your boy will end up on the ground crying and that will be that.
4. In the unlikely event that the fight actually turns in to a real fight and not just some kids swearing at each other, he wants to take the fight to the ground if he's bigger and stay off the ground if he is smaller.
5. Kicking the other kid in the nuts is absolutely acceptable. Biting is not.
But I'd bet good money that if he does #1 with any confidence the other kid won't even show up.all the way until #5. Don't be that guy teaching a nut shot is ok.
If your going to do the others, don't resort to the cheap shot because that is going to be the other kids excuse why he went down. Quick shot to the face or ground and pound. I would guess this is going to be two kids in each others face and each saying throw the punch. No you throw the punch, etc.
I'm a big fan of the running jump-kick to thesternum.scrotum.

He's in the 6th grade!!Let him borrow your piece.
Make sure such friends post the fight on YouTube and you make sure to give us the link.If a fight is unavoidable I would say,
-bring friends
-make sure friend record fight and yell "world star"
Headlock then BOOM!!!Getting the other kid in a headlock always worked well for me (assuming you're of equal or larger size)
Yup. The goal of any fight isn't to avoid getting hurt, its to make sure everyone else knows that you are not someone they want to get in a fight with.Fair enough.

This is a lesson for the rest of your kids life. Street fights aren't a boxing ring with a ref. You do whatever is necessary to stop your opponent, so you can safely retreat.
You should obviously discourage any type of fighting. My friend killed a guy a few years back from 1 punch right in front of the guys wife & kids. The guy was drunk after a sporting event, and swung on my sober friend. He punched him, and the guy hit his head on a curb. My buddy was taken, questioned, and let go.
I remember another kid my age when I was in highschool getting sucker punched in the temple and dying.
Now 6th graders likely won't hit hard enough to kill someone, but a kick to the head, or anything dirty could happen. Fighting on concrete is also incredibly dangerous & bloody.
Also be aware if your kid breaks any bones (including a nose) he could be looking at felony assault.
If a fight is unavoidable I would say,
-do it in place with other people (it likely gets broken up quick)
- throw 1st punch, and don't stop throwing
-keep elbows in, and straight punches, no haymakers
-if there is a size advantage take him to ground
-don't let him take you to ground if opponent larger
-stay off the concrete
-bring friends
-make sure friend record fight and yell "world star"
"Tomorrow" means it's more threat than reality. That's where the earlier advice to seek out the kid first thing and ask "when and where" could serve to put an end to it. I'd think that should be done quietly so the other kid has an out. If called out publicly, then it's tougher for him to back out.Tomorrow? What was wrong with today?
Ha ha...this isn't a street fight for god sakes. This is 6th grade fight where I'd be surprised if someone even got more than a bloody nose or a fat lip. Your making it sound like there MMA fighters with no referee and someone's life could be ended in matter of seconds.Fair enough.

I guess when I went back into the school whether it was the next day or after my suspension was over, I wouldn't want to be the kid that resorted to the nut shots. I'd rather be a man and say I throw punches or if I was knocked to my knees for a nut kick I'd be calling him out that he fights cheap and I thought we were going to fight. Maybe it was how I was raised, but I always was taught the nut shot is cheap shot.
This is probably true, we're not in 1979 anymore. Anger issues (other kid) should be addressed.A fight that just happens spontaneously in the locker room, hallway or whatever, not much you can do about that. But a planned after school fight, if you find out about it as a parent or teacher, you gotta stop it. All it takes is a call to the principal. It'll get squashed. Neither you nor your kid will get blamed for ratting, as the office finds out about fights from any number of sources. Nobody will know it was you.
Or, you can just let it happen and hope your kid doesn't lose some teeth, get a nice scar above the eye, crooked nose or whatever. Or of course, someone gets seriously hurt and they find you you knew about this beforehand. Then you're SCREWED. Either by law or a lawsuit.
Get outta here...who are you John Cena? Cheap shot all day if it's going to lead to you coming out on top in the fastest possible way.Ha ha...this isn't a street fight for god sakes.

I never felt my life was in danger in 6th grade fight. Heck most of them didn't last more than 30 seconds because a teacher would be over there breaking it up or the friends would get involved to break it up. Street fight I'd picture more after high school graduation. Of course 20 years out of high school if I was in a "dark ally" with my wife and kid and we were jumped it would be all bets off. But that's a hole different situation in my opinion compared to a 6th grade recess wrestle session.You are a wise one. Whats the difference between a 6th grade fight and a street fight?

This had me cracking up. I made it a point to memorize that entire line from Pulp Fiction, although I can recite most of the movie from memory.I recommend Ezekiel 25:17.You should go to the principle, otherwise you may face bullying charges.
Share scripture with him to try to try find peace within this situation.

Wow, that was legitimately one of the most depressing things I've read in a while.This happened to me twice:
First time, 7th grade. A 6th grader was bullying kids in the neighborhood. I told him to knock it off. He went to his mom and told her that I was bullying him. So his mom went to my house and convinced my mom that the two of us needed to resolve our differences by fighting each other while both moms watched.
I think she thought that her big bad son would teach me a lesson or something.
I ended up kicking his ###.
But it was kinda sad, actually. I still remember the sound my fist made each time it landed on his face. I remember that it didn't hurt my hand as much as I thought it would. And I remember his mom yelling at him to keep fighting me. When it was over, he was crying and she was yelling at him. He did not have a good life.
-----
Second time, 8th grade. Another kid from a troubled home decided that he needed to beat me up. I wasn't afraid of him, but I was afraid of his friends and to be honest I was afraid that I'd make his life sadder if I beat him up. My social status wasn't going to change if I was beat up by a stoner kid.
So I avoided him for a couple weeks until the heat died down and he moved on to other targets. A few months later he killed himself because his stepdad had been molesting him.

And hit low. Get a rep for fighting dirty, and nobody will want to fight you.fruity pebbles said:hit first
there is a huge difference in adults and 6th graders. People will get in fight during school. You have to hope, like most of us, that they figure out that violence isnt a solution once they get older.You should obviously discourage any type of fighting. My friend killed a guy a few years back from 1 punch right in front of the guys wife & kids. The guy was drunk after a sporting event, and swung on my sober friend.

Um...Alright, so it sounds like most here agree that going to the teacher/principal before hand is out of the question. I figured as much. I'm going to give my son the old "I don't like you fighting but if you have to protect yourself do what you gotta do" speech.
eta: and make sure you hit first
WTF your mom sanctioned your fight?This happened to me twice:
First time, 7th grade. A 6th grader was bullying kids in the neighborhood. I told him to knock it off. He went to his mom and told her that I was bullying him.

I can see how someone who was leashed by his mom as a kid would be surprised at this.WTF your mom sanctioned your fight?This happened to me twice:

The arresting and overly strict punishments have worked. I've had 2 teens face to face talking #### and I step in to break it up and they are like, "what are you crazy? We aren't going to fight here. We are gonna meet later to fight."Hope they make sure to not announce the thing and fight well away from school. Our schools have gone insane today. Wouldn't be surprised to see both kids get arrested and expelled.
Dude, doing such a thing would be enough for criminal charges and have the state take your kid away.I can see how someone who was leashed by his mom as a kid would be surprised at this.WTF your mom sanctioned your fight?This happened to me twice:
