Probable Fruitless Gyration

[jaguar]

i too copped it pretty hard, all the way from 3rd grade or so till high school. My answer was also straight to the point. During one particular day of the usual incredibly creative abuse (I too am red haired and an utter geek) I just utterly snapped, turn around, grabbed the asshole by the hair (fuckwit made the mistake of having long hair) and rammed his head, mouth first into a metal pole once or twice. It all happened so fast he had no time to react, noone expected it, least of all me. He required fairly extensive dental work after that, his mouth was a bloody mess. Despite dire threats of revenge nothing happened. If they had tried anything I would have be out to draw some serious blood. I still copped it a bit but it was water off a ducks back, didn't even notice and they knew not to push it.

I have no regrets whatsoever. I got in a little trouble but basically nothing, the teachers were well aware of the situation and I had a few friends on the staff. I made it perfectly clear shortly after to one that if either the school or he wanted to pursue the issue further I'd unleash unholy legal war for years of abuse and inaction.

This of course was pre-colombine. These days I probably would have been hauled off to the loony bin.
