My friend might get beat up badly!

[Jfswift]

If he really is your friend you should back up him, not let him fall. You probably should mention this to the police (ask them for advice at least) if you think something bad is going to happen, writing on here isn't going to do much.

What I learned about agrovating people on facebook (cause I almost started a massive fight) is that If your taller than them they'll usually let up or even fear you for a week. If your smaller...well theylle proabably fight you. Also get a friend who does mma...theyre very helpful in fights.

One of my best friends recently made a facebook profile similar to a guy that is aggressive and moderately dangerous. the profile is mocking the guy ALOT. now almost everyone in our grade knows it.
this day, a former friend of mine came up and told me to search on a facebook profile (the one that my friend did). i told him i had already seen it and he asked "so you know who did it?". by that i thought he knew who it was. so i said "yeah **** did it". so know he and his friend (good friend to the aggressive guy) told almost everyone but the aggressive guy. my friend is now thinking about changing school. i am drowning in guilt even though he forgave me. I feel like there is nothing i can do. anyone have an idea?

Don't be a pussy, help your friend. You have brought this upon him, and you gotta get him out. Self-Defense is ALWAYS a solution. When he hits you first, even when you stab him with a knife after that, he can't press charges. Check his peer group. does he has much friends, as dangerous as him? Can you call more friends than him for backup? Think realistic. Can you take him in any sort of physical confrontation? And when, then how?

I don't tell you to attack first, because you can go to jail for this, but when it comes an attack from him, you shouldn't be on the losing side. If you troll irl hard, you have to be able to back it up.

You're friend is an idiot, you're an idiot. If either of you try to take the cowards way out or not help out your friend if it turns bad, then you'll also be irredeemable idiots. Grow up, this is what I expect to happen with ten year olds.
Getting in fights is normal, it teaches you not tease the tremendously aggressive guy.

 

[deus-ex-machina]

You're at school. Tell a teacher that you're worried. In the UK, or at least in my school, the teachers had to keep information anonymous but could act on things if they thought something was going to happen. Unlike you, they would probably not say who told them.

But your friend should learn his lesson from this. If he's accepted your apology, sounds like he already has and is accepting his fate. Unless your friend is a complete mentalist who should not be on the streets, I doubt he is going to kill or permanently injure your friend. The evidence against him would be overwhelming and he'd face charges.

Don't worry. You're in school. I don't think anything will happen.

Im sorry, but do you live in a world were people get away with beating other people up? We have something called "the police" who handle events we call "crime".

I agree. Your friend made a joke, and if the guy responds with violence he should get arrested. Ignore all those people who says he deserves it. Even if your friend deserves it (which I don't think he does) an insult and a fight are not on the same level.

I wouldn't call it making a joke... From what I hear, it sounds like proper mocking, maybe even bullying. I would also imagine this was not the first time this aggressive person has been mocked. Waving it off as "simply a joke" will not do.

I still don't think that justifies the aggressive kid's actions if he beats him up, of course; but I can most certainly understand them.

OT: Your friend performed a dick-move. He'll have to handle the consequences; whether that is getting scolded by adults or getting into a fight with this aggressive guy. All advice I can give is to take down the page. It shouldn't have been made in the first place. From what I hear, the page sounds really hurtful.

Oh, and as others have said: If this aggressive kid is prone to armed violence, the situation is something else altogether, and you should probably contact some adults.

Edit: Also, allow me to point out that you went to a website where a lot of the users identify as nerds and geeks to seek sympathy for what sounds like bullying...

Note that this thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.237692-Poll-Were-you-Are-you-bullied-in-school?view_results=1] indicates that 40% of the users on this page were/are bullied.

If what your friend did was not bullying, you have my apologies for my aggressive behaviour; but from your OP, it does sound a lot like bullying.

 

[HotFezz8]

Your friend shouldn't have made the profile in the first place.

Sorry, but he should have seen this coming.

seconded, if you can't take the ramifications, you shouldn't have done the action.

Your friend is an idiot for provoking an incredibly aggressive guy. It's also a really immature move. No offense, your friend has it coming, he threw the first stone. Changing schools would be a bit of a coward's way out. He can't simply run from a conflict. For all you know, the dude will simply ***** him out.

Sure, your friend couldget the shit kicked out for him, but it serves him right for mocking/humiliating another guy that happenss to be pretty aggressive

absoloutely seconded.

Snip

The rest of the Escapist has already berated you for your friends stupidity. I would gladly join in, but you asked for help. There are several solutions, the one I suggest is telling an adult. I assume you are in High school, judging by what your profile says for your age. You are 16? Grade ten? If telling an adult is "uncool" (Which is absolutely absurd) and you really do not with to involve them or the authorities, then it would be time to take this guy down if he attacks. If he makes an aggressive move toward your friend, you set a time and date for a fight. Then, you get as many as you can who are willing to side with your friend to stand with him for the fight. One bully cannot stand against an array of others.
BUT I DO NOT SAY YOU DO THIS!
That would be idiotic and could potentially get you all expelled. TELL. AN. ADULT.
Kids today...

Facebook pranks... Good times... Buy a camera and tape your friend getting beaten up. Oh and of course put it on youtube

 

[John the Gamer]

If he gets beaten up it's his own mistake for being weak. Tell him to use simple tricks like pinching or biting. aim for the weakspots of the body, like the throat or er...lower body... also ask him if you can have his stuff if he doesn't make it. Oh, and it's not your fault, his mistake.

 

[luke10123]

tell him to take his beating like a man!! or at the least go down swinging...

and change school? seriously? is that really the way to deal with your problems??

also, no offence but you really should have stood up for your friend, if he's going to get in a fight, you need to be there too.

 

[lacktheknack]

Ever seen "IT"?

Take a page from there... when the sociopath issues a challenge, twenty people should show up to it in bloody bandages and snapped necks, constantly screaming.

 

[Double A]

I've done pretty much the exact same thing (I'm the one who did the stupid thing like your friend), but the dude wasn't aggressive. Your friend could apologize, and if he gets beat up more than once (or cut) he should report it to some authority figure.

 

[nuba km]

well that's what you get when you play with fire but i will say something if your friends is attacked by the aggressive guy and you are near by stand by his side for these reasons:
1) you will feel giant amount of guilt
2) if you get help chances are your friend will be already beat up before they get there
3) loyalty
4) honour
5) loyalty
6) honour
7) your friend will get a great positive emotional boost which will increase his confidence and hopefully that will help with the fight
8) PEOPLE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER AND FIGHT THOSE WHO PRAY ON THE WEAK, ARE DICKS, ARE TOO VIOLENT OR ARE BULLIES

 

[Ampersand]

It seems to me that this isn't your fault.

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Well, at least you were honest.

Speaking of violence, today at my school, we were allowed to use(really crappy) new laptops(I mean seriously, they revert it down from win 7 to win xp and it is still as slow as fuck) in a maths lesson for a functional skills question. While the rest of the people in the class logged on, I saw two guys fighting over who gets dibs on a laptop(we had to use it in pairs), and they started swearing at each other. I wasn't paying much attention, but one of them said something to another, the other guy paused, AND PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE. Now the guy who got hit is pretty much one of the strongest people in our year, and the guy who hit him was no combat expert like the former(or something or other), anyways, they both got sent outside, our head of year had a 'chat' with them, and then the bell rang.

That was pretty interesting, and like me right now, most of my classmates are spreading the word.

Ouch, grassed like a *****. Sure it wasn't intentional grassdom but still ouch man.

Watch loads of Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Tekken matches. Take notes.

 

[Azuaron]

Im sorry, but do you live in a world were people get away with beating other people up? We have something called "the police" who handle events we call "crime".

First, change "the world" to "the US" or "Britain" or whatever country you're from/you're assuming the OP's from. Many countries in *this* world have corrupt/negligible/inept/nonexistent police forces.

Second... what? School fights rarely result in anything greater than detention (oh no the horror. Detention is not a deterrent.) And, depending on the importance of the parents of the aggressive guy, he could put someone in the hospital and only get a wrist slap.
