hit first

No talking trash, no pre-fight pushing and shoving. Tell him to go in swinging and don't stop until someone is dead.

:idontpush:

My dad told me the same thing. When I was in 7th grade I got word that this kid a year older than me was going to kick my ### over a girl. I was a little scared and told my dad. My dad said try to avoid the fight as much as you can. If you see he is not going to let than happen, punch him first in the nose as hard as you can. The kid kept pushing me ..the third or fourth push I hit him directly in the nose and he bent over holding his nose with blood everywhere. As he was bent over I hit him 4-5 more times right in the face and he quit. We actually ended up being friends in HS because we were on some of the same teams...he always told me from that day forward if he was ever going to fight a person he would lead with a nose shot.

How long did it take for your dad to pay off the second mortgage he took out to cover legal medical expenses? Was it hard on the family with him working two and three jobs to make do because of the incident? How long were you in juvy and was it difficult to get your records expunged when you were of age?

This was in the 80s...you fought and it was over. Plus it was a Catholic School...fights were a one on one battle that happened on a regular basis. Sometimes the priests would actually referee the fight.

And then jerk off afterward of course.

There was just a school shooting in Louisville.

So anyone with month + day ending in a 9 in the pool wins. Cool.

and the punch should be to the nose

Can't be emphasized enough.

I'd argue that a throat punch would hurt more.

No.

No.

It would. For visuals, yeah, a nose shot is better (blood, possible break, etc.).

But for pain, a shot to the throat would HURT more.

 

[T J]

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.

I disagree with the being a good dad part.

This whole thread seems to me to be a dad amped up to see his kid get in this fight to see how tough he is. I also agree with the post that suggested that if the OP's kid brought this on with smartass comments then an apology is warranted, not a fight. Sometimes feeling good about things is not the way to go. Teaching a kid to fight vs. teaching a kid to accept responsibility for his actions, however hard that might be (and in this case, if the OP's kid is at fault, to me that means apologize) is not the way to go IMO.

But whatever. Ain't my kid.

Whatever though. I'm clearly in the minority.

Here's one of the first posts from the OP:

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.

Doesn't sound like he's a bloodthirsty fight proponent. That's why I said it's tough being a parent. You don't want to go running to the principal on your kid's behalf, or even tell him to do it, but you also don't really want him to fight. So what do you do?

I understand. My own philosophy on something like this would be to find out why a fight was proposed and if my kid was in the wrong, to man up and apologize. Takes a much bigger man to do that than to agree to a fight.

Don't get me wrong, if a fight was gonna happen period, then for sure I want my kid to win the fight, but I'd provide advice how to avoid it in the first place and I would not go to a school person to intervene. I'd want my kid to deal with the other kid straight up.

Doesn't seem at all to me like a course of action even being considered.

I don't care about your sperm count, but I think its odd that you would be willing to say another guy is a not a good dad just based on the postings here, or that dutch is only interested in seeing how tough his kid is. I didn't get that at all from his comments.

I only said I disagree with someone else who said he was being a good dad. There's a subtle difference between me disagreeing with someone saying he was a good dad and me saying he isn't a good dad. I didn't say that. He well may be a great dad. I don't know the guy. But I believe in this entire thread that a fight is just accepted and no effort is being made to avoid it. I don't think that warrants a pat on the back.
