The school bully's little brother problem. I.E The I'm screwed either way problem

[MasterChief892039]

Seriously, high school rep is way less important than you think it is. There's no need for you to feel pressured into doing anything, so if you don't want to fight anyone, just report it to the principal. Doesn't make you a pansy, it's their job to deal with this shit.

The big brother sounds incredibly immature if he thought hitting you with a stick in front of a girl was impressive. He's probably a small man on the inside and will turn into a sniveling, pants-wetting child if an adult gets involved.

Alternatively you could talk to the big brother and tell him you didn't do anything to provoke the smaller kid and you're not interested in the drama they're stirring up. Make sure you're sincere and respectful, because both of them sound like they have issues.

Or, of course, you can fight one or both of them if you want to. But that's probably the most childish solution, and wouldn't make you look like a very respectable person.

Do you think you can reason with the older brother? Just tell him you dont want to get the kid hurt, since he´s younger.If he´s reasonable, he´ll talk to the boy. If he says its not his problem, he might not get involved at all(that might make the kid brother think twice before doing anything). If he eventually tries to fight you, alert the principal or someone in authority.

It worked for me when i was your age (i used to be bullied).

Personally The next time hes tries to hit dodge (or take and/or break the object hes using if hes trying to hit you with a blunt object) tell him that you can't act like you can get away with everything because his brother will not alway get him out of stuff ( and most likly in prison), and if he doesn't listen the next hit he tries beat the crap out of him. If his brother comes up tell him that your brother is acting like an ass and is taking advantage of being your brother and thinks that if can't finish what he started you'll do it for him. If he tries to hit you break his arm or something (or use a blunt object and "Mess the heck out of his face") and with the whole him amush thing have a good friend help look out and/or help defend yourself if they try. If things get out of hand I.E. one of you tries to use a sharp object to shank the other I would think thats time to get help from the schools staff or the police.

If your wondering how I got this plan I'm about the same age and the school I'm in is full of Insane, Unmannered, Moronic, Aggersive, Ass-holes. I have this problem 24/27.

Kick the little kids ass. Power respects power? And honestly, I would risk getting my ass handed to me to put the little fuck in his place. Douche little kids are an epidemic

Sigh....This thread makes me sad for my generation.....


Tell a teacher, tell a principle, and if that doesn't work, then I guess I don't know what to tell you.

This kid despite his brothers reputation is not well known around school yet so If people heard I beat up a kid alot younger than me they will see him as the victim because they don't know how much of a douche he is.

I had a situation almost exactly like this once...
my advice: Go for the throat. Go f*ck'n psycho, get mean. I guarantee "Mr. Hardass" will be expecting you to be intimidated, and his lil' bro and whatever else company will just stand there stunned. In which case you start on them.

'Course if personal experience serves again, they'll come back for you with alot of guys...so don't expect to get away really in the long run.

 

[lizards]

i would recommend 2 things or doing them both

1. beat the shit out of the kid, if his brother is like the way you say he is, he will be more entertained by seeing his brother get the shit kicked out of him then you

2. get some friends that he doesnt want to fuck with, this is one reason why in highschool i never even was challenged to a fight, if you are friends with them, either like me because you just like hanging out with them, or in your case you would just want them, then he wont want to fuck with you

the combo: kick the shit out of his brother while having backup, that way you win either way

I don't know if this is reasonable, but it worked for me.

Take the big brother, and really, really take the big brother. Like put him in the hospital take him. Let him know that if he or his brother come after you again then you'll do worse, and just pray to God he's not entirely stupid.

When I was about 14 (can't remember exactly) I put one of the older year boys through a sheet glass window and another one got his head and back slammed into a locker until the door fell off. They had been torturing me for two years and no one had done anything or even believed me, so one day when they started up I just went utterly apeshit on them. Neither of them would confess that a weedy nerd two years younger than them had beaten them up (I was a lot stronger than I looked, and had had martial arts training), and only people in my year had seen what had happened.

It worked, largely because after I'd pushed the guy through the window I went up to him and actually said right into his ear that if he ever fucked with me again I'd make sure it was a second story window.

Tell a teacher, tell a principle, and if that doesn't work, then I guess I don't know what to tell you.

The problem with that method is that 8 times out 10, said teacher or other authority figure does fuck-all to actually fixing the problem. Best case scenario is that the kid gets punished repeatedly, and so just takes his bullying outside of school. The only way to really stop a bully is to prove to them that you won't take their shit.

What worked for me was sitting around laughing as the school bully got hauled away for selling pot.

Then your teachers are just awful. All of my teachers are very involved with the inter-personal problems with students.

 

[Ryouma]

Dont fight :3

And talk to the kids parents? or the teachers?

Or just tell him to get the fuck off, if its not helping get your friends and yourself to mock him, find something on him and mock him. mental distress is better then physical

 

[bushwhacker2k]

Well, normally in these situations I'd try to be diplomatic, it's worked well for me so far. But on the other hand I clearly don't come across the kind of people who try to get people to be afraid of them because of their older brothers and start fights over trying to walk through people.

If you think his older brother will be a problem I'd probably go an authority figure like a teacher or the principal.

I apparently don't live in the cutthroat society so many people claim to where half the people are bullies with evil agendas trying to push people around and normally if someone had a problem with me I'd figure it was because they were having a bad day, rather than that they go around trying to enforce their evil reign of terror... sorry, going off on a tangent, anyways...

Disclaimer: This is probably not the smartest nor the safest way of handling your problem, this is just what worked for me.

Go up to the kid's brother and tell him politely that if his brother doesn't knock it off, you're going to utterly wreck his shit.

Seriously. This worked for me. His little brother started that up again, I slapped him around a little bit, older brother did nothing, kid knocked it off.

First off, I've just got to say, I love what you've done with the Chimaira symbol. I got a great laugh out of that.

Anyway, on topic... I never really dealt with bullies, so I don't know how to really handle it. My advice is talk to the older brother and just see if he can talk to his younger brother. I know "talk it out" seems like teacher advice, but that is my major...

 

[Merkavar]

basically your going to get a black mark against your reputation if you fight the little kid or dont. if you fight him your a big bad bully, if you dont your a pussy getting picked on by a younger kid.

personally i wouldnt fight the little kid, like i wouldnt punch him or anything like that. just push him to the ground or somthing. like over power him in a not too violent way. show that he is too weak for you to fight.

if you reckon you can beat his brother. tell him to get his brother to fight you.

but basically it looks like your screwed what ever you do. so maybe its just best to follow your gut and take what you get.

maybe if you can over power the kid enough you can force him to do the tango with you. or ballroom dance with him. make sure he does a dip at some point just so he knows he is the girl in the dance.

 

[mercifulwrath]

Beat up one of the little brother's friends.

So... you think I should frame him for selling pot?

Last week I was walking down one of my Highschool's hallways joking with friends when a kid of around twelve barged into me expecting me to be the one to give way but he did and fell onto the ground, the kid defended his honour with "You do that again and I'll smash your fucking face in!" Me and my friends are fifteen so we just laughed at this and carried on wakling. The next day the kid approachs me and asks for a fight me and my friends even the girls laughed at this and slightly goaded him asking him what was he going to do? and pretending sarcasticaly to be scared. To which his friend said "Do you know who his fucking brother is?!" I appeared thoughtful for a moment and replied "Ha, No and unless it's Hitler I don't care." but it turns out his brother was, I feel childish saying this "but hardest in the year" and not in a sexual way. His brother is in my year and is the sort of guy who would beat you to a pulp for looking at you funny. They had a grudge with this other kid that they didn't let go untill he was beaten to a pulp and probably a sign of this families intelligence and forgot about it over the summer break. The worst part is yesterday he came up to me again in front of a friend of mine and infront of a girl who I have a thing going with and started hitting me with a stick while his brother and his gang watch from afar so I grabbed the stick and snapped it and pushed the boy at which point his brother and his 'gang' stood up, so I turned around. The kid than started harrasing me and when I turned around hit me and ran at which point alot of people were watching I tried to laugh it off infront of everyone.

So basicaly first I don't want to hit a kid three years younger than me and If I did his brother and his brother's friends would be on my case. Although I am not the most popular at my school, I have a good thing going for myself but this is starting to rub of badly on my reputation and if you don't have a good reputation at highschool your life can become hell, so escapists what do I do?


EDIT: I would like to outline two points just ignoring it and hoping it dies down is a option it does very bad things to my reputation in the mean time also I could probably take the older boy but he isn't someone you want to mess with he holds grudes to the extent him and his friends have assulted a guy from behind before while he wasn't looking and basicaly took turns to beat him to a pulp.

Also this kid despite his brothers reputation is not well known around school so If people heard I beat up a kid alot younger than me they will see him as the victim because they don't know how much of a douche he is.

By the sounds of it I'd do 1 of 3 things:

1: Have a quick word with the older brother
2: Scare the younger brother but don't harm him.
3: Take them both on, if it's your reputation your worried about then it won't matter if you loose against the older brother. If you win good on you but otherwise loosing to a guy bigger than you won't look bad. Taking him on will look good on you either way purely on principle.

However one thing to take into account is the girl you mentioned. Ask her what her opinion of it is. If she were to thin you the bigger man for avoiding needless conflict the do that
