I can definatly emphisise, but as nasty as high school can be, it does't get any better as you get older, adults can be just as mean and then some, if you can't find a way to cope with a couple of kids at school now, your going to find yourself brawling with every other loudmouthed jerk later on. My inschool fighting and temper when I was younger landed me in a group home, somthing I hated at the time, but thinking back, if my pattern persisted, later on my problem would have landed me in jail.
To this day I deal with far to many random idiots who shoot there mouth off, and a few bad nieghbors who never quit, I don't expect those kinds of incidences to ever go away, but since high school, I have only been in serious physical altercations 10 or 12 times, and those only when force was needed to restrain some one who was out of controle, usually drunk at a party, nor have I felt the need to issue threats; and I have dealt with a crapload more threats, insults and attidudes than many.
Join some sports, get some part time work, youll find they won't effect you nearly the same when your attention is directed elswere, if you dwell on it, it will build upon itself intill you act on it, and nobody ever acted smart out of anger.
