Our American School Fighting rules are messed up

[Omega the Hedgehog]

I heard that if you try to start a fight with someone the principal would get both of you boxing gloves and put you in the ring. Man I wish that lived back in those days...

That's not even remotely true. Where did you hear that?

I think he's referring to "the old days".

It sounds to me like one of those overly-exaggerated things someone's grandfather might say. Or even father, pending the age of said father.

You wanna know a crappy way of starting your 17th year in life? Getting a bloody nose.

Why?

What happened was that some people at school knew it was my birthday, and this one dude that I did not like decided to punch me in the back of my head. So I turn around, and took a step back, and launched a kick so hard, that I kicked him down the steps, I hit his stomach. He then gets back up and punches me in my nose, and I had a bad nosebleed.

So, he got 8 days for assualt, and I got 4.


But that's not the point I'm making.

Back some time ago way before my time, the school rules were that if a person instigates a fight, and the other one fights back, only the person who instigated the fight got punished.

Why is it that this all changed to now that if a person responds to an instigator, then that person goes down with them?

What town did this occur in? Because I know that would have never happened in the north.

Well, if that's the case, looks like colleges won't be accepting me, as I already got kicked out for throwing a desk at someone who was trying to bully me physically.

I pity you. The only job you'll ever be able to work at is one for SONY. No one deserves that $%^&.

Y'know...you beating up harmless little animals

My dad told me the exact same thing once, so there must be some truth to it. Of course, he also grew up in Da Bronx, so I wouldn't be surprised if the schools up there did all sorts of unorthodox things.

On a side note, my dad did some crazy things. He killed people. He once killed a boy with his own ice skate after the kid swung at him with it and knocked his eye out of his socket. He also stabbed a dentist when the guy gave him water instead of Novacaine. Also, he's apparently legally insane. My dad is hardcore, man.

Let's just say "what goes aroung comes around".

Daaamn, my pops almost killed 5 people in his life, he chocked the living crap out of this one guy in high school who was messing with him, turned him blue.

Almost snapped someone's neck,

Blew a hole in the wall with his fist, because he was aiming for someone's head and they ducked.
