i have talked to my dad about this alot. He told me if I think fighting or some physical agression is the way I earn respect then by all means do what you want to. He told me that he doesnt think its the rite way to do it but then again in the old days teenagers didnt do the same stuff they do today. He told me its just todays generation so do what you have to.
He also told that me that to prevent this you HAVE to change the way you present yourself. If you get alot of sh*t then that means you have a reason why people do it. It could be subliminal, and it could be by how you talk and other sh*t. If you look like a geek or talk like one, then you will get picked on. If you look like you are always in a bad mood then youll get picked on. If you always look depressed youll be sure to get picked on. If you are clumsy, you are sure to get picked on. If you act stupid or like an idiot, youll get picked on. If you look insecure, or act insecure, YOULL GET PICKED ON! If you act immature or like a little kid you will get picked on. They do this because they think you are pathetic, they pity you, they think you are not worth having a life. Trust me, I know this. Even if you think you dont have anything wrong you still have might have something wrong with you but just don't know it.
SOOO..... youll have to change your appearance. Do some self analyzation, maybe change your style, the way you talk, throw in some confidence the way you talk. Walk around with your head held up high, take out all insecurity, not all but most of them, because some is good but any insecurity you have left, try as hard as you can to cover it up with something that shows you are secure. Talk secure, talk like you know what you are talking about. Talk like you don't give a f*ck if people will react bad to what you say, don't act afraid, don't have a shaky little voice, speak LOUD AND PROUD! Gain some intelligence, get smart, but be cool at the same time. Be witty and clever.
You also gain lots of respect by being a DJ and getting the finest girls. Though you will get haters. But at least they dont think you are pathetic or a loser. They ENVY you because they can't be like you and they wish they could so they secretly hate you. Hell they might even respect you because you ARE a respectable person. You are a fvcking badass. Don't go around loking for fights, don't give anyone a reason to not like you.
Another way is to go to the gym and get big. If you are muscular and look like you can whoop anyone's ass then no one will f*ck with you.
I gave some pretty useful advice..... sh1t I might want to use some of them.
Thats all the advice I can give you on how to avoid these situations, but I still don't know how to handle them without some agression if it does come up so Im counting on other replies for help.
