Yup exactly. I remember in 10th grade I had to put 2 guys down who wouldn't stop laughing at me. First one was during class we were popcorn reading and he called on me knowing I would stutter and of course I started stuttering and he was laughing and then others started laughing and the teacher didn't even say anything and without another word I just walked up to him and put my wrists around his neck and told him to stfu and the only reason I didn't beat his ass was because we were acquaintances in middle school then I threw him back so he fell over his chair. Second one was about 3 weeks later we were all at the lunch table and this other dude started laughing and mocking me. I asked him to kindly stop saying that and of course he has to do the whole tough guy thing "oh why what are you gonna do about it" the ones who know me know I have a temper but most of the time i can control it well but he just kept egging me on until i punched him in the face and told him if he ever made fun of me again id make it hurt. The rest of high school was pretty great. I was very rarely was bullied after that but it sucks that's what it took to earn respect. I hate fighting and causing problems but I'll always end it. It's just most people are all talk up until it's too late and that sucks. I know I have an anger problem too that's why I stopped driving bcuz I kept getting road rage and crashing into people. It baffles me how many people will talk shit on the road and raise their hands then act shocked when I run them off the road. There's always someone crazier out there it's just in my case I'm usually the crazier one
