My son just got served and now it's on (1 Viewer)

Make sure he hits with the big nuckles (pointer, middle finger) and not the little ones...Boxer fracture of the 5th metacarpal are quite common. Speaking from experience, only it was a wall and not a 6th grader.

I hate that term. I broke a finger around that knuckle playing softball years back and that's what the doctor called it. As someone that boxed as a kid that term irks me. A boxer, throwing a correct punch, does not get that break. Maybe they should call it Crappy Boxer Fracture.Regarding the original topic. Approaching the potential fight with confidence is the best thing your son can do. I never got into a fight in school. A couple of times I had bullys that tried to start something with me, but because I would plant my feet and not back down, never happened.

If the other kid thinks/feels that your son is not going to back down, then you've pretty much won the conflict.

 
No advice, other than to say you're being a good dad, dutch.

It's pretty hard being a parent. On the one hand, a sixth grade schoolyard scrape is no big deal. On the other hand, your kid is looking to you for advice and you just want him to handle the situation in a way he ends up feeling good about. And until you know he's ok, it's hard to think about much else except hoping it all works out.

 
Nothing is gonna happen. The bully thst planned the fight a day ahead didn't want to fight to begin with.

Another option is to be glib and try to talk your way out of any fight. That worked for me more than a few times. In those instances it that it didn't work, one has to be prepared to go all crazy eyes and get into it with the other. it meant adopting a shrill war-cry on my part sometimes. it helped to have an older brother who regularly beat me up. it prepared me in some ways.

Thanks, T_M, and you're right, the best thing to come out of this is he figured how to handle this himself. If he gets bruised, however, my a** is grass when I get home.

sounds like your wife should have taught the boy how to fight.

 
I'm running out to a meeting so hopefully everything is cool since I haven't heard from the school or my wife yet. Will be back...

Just tell your wife junior took 6-7 baseballs to the face at PE.

Hard to concentrate. I wonder how Jr. did on his big math test today? :unsure:

If there really was a big math test today, this is the reason why your son made up the fight.

"Aww dad, I couldn't study or concentrate 'cause I was worried about the fight. Sorry I got an F."

Good lordy, now we're talking jail time and major restitution issues. My son is set on trying to squash this thing before it gets started by appealing to the other kids sensible nature and I've been encouraging of using this tact. If it does come to pass that the other kid pushes the issue then I expect my son will hold his own for the seconds it takes for a teacher to intervene and I do not expect either kid to be seriously injured.

If you kid crossed the line with some of his smartassy comments, he should try apologizing.

 
No news is good news from him. No news from him to us is good news for us.

If he hits hard enough, who cares about math. Floyd Mayweather is rich and he's a complete moron.

I broke my back and it's awful. L1 (worst), T3, T9. It's been exceedingly painful and I'm in the dark on how to deal. Life-changing.
