Getting threatened on Facebook

[SamBooDii]

A little incident happened at school.Basically, I pulled his tie and he cursed at me, I cursed his lip and on facebook he started a uber rage.
He said he's gonna fight me outside of school or w/e.I was just playing it smart and just blocked him.I took screenies of the whole conversation.

Now my plan is, show a teacher the screenies so if he fights me it's his fault, and I won't get in trouble for breaking his kneecaps.I don't want to cause trouble as I have three more exams left this year and I dont want to get expelled and the extra drama is not needed.

I'm not scared in anyway by the idiot, I just don't know how to approach the situation in a good way.I am on a 1 week break and he can't fight me on the first day as I have a trip until late.So should I break his teeth or just walk away?He's in quite a few of my classes in school too.

Any good ideas?

To be honest if he wants to fight because you pulled his tie, he's an idiot.
You have screen shots and what not, but I doubt that will help lol. Just show up to school and see what happens

if you show a teacher the screen shots after you fight him, this will make no difference what so ever. Don't bother fighting him tbh, unless it is as self-defence.

Fight in self-defence. If he touches you, you have the right to fight back. Going to snitch is pretty low to me. See what happens and fight only when he touches you. If you get called by the principal, you can claim you fought in self-defence. You can say you pulled his tie as a joke and lightly and you don't know why he's making a big deal out of it and wants to fight you.

Well technically you initiated contact by pulling his tie, and as we don't have all of the facts in the case you are definitely the agitator in the situation. If there were witnesses that can back that up then your self-defense claim is out the window because you were the agitator in the situation. It seems rather childish on both parts and seems like you guys need some growing up to do.

Dont be afraid ...to tell your teacher...if he gets u off guard fight back it will be self defence ...

I don't think him being the 'agitator' has anything to do with this really, it's a question of proportionality that I think you need to ask yourself. You keep referring to him as the agitator and that he has instigated and should be responsible for any threat or actual violence against him, surely you aren't saying that another person attacking him is a proportional and adequate response to a simple pull of a tie? Crazy. Kids mess around in school, I've done it, I'm sure everyone else has. You are looking at this way out of context. Maybe if it was a grown man pulling another grown mans tie then I'd understand.

Here is what I'd do, keep the screenshots which you have of the threats, go about your normal day and just do not respond to this person in any way shape or form unless they attack you. If they do, use the amount of self defence necessary, no more. Then if you get into any trouble you have evidence of him initiating violent threats towards you as well as actual violence, which you responded too, naturally, in a controlled manner.

You've done the right thing so far, thinking about exams etc and not wanting drama is the best thing to do. Sure you pulled his tie, but many people do things like this and it shouldn't be an invitation for you to be abused or attacked as has been mentioned previously.

Don't be stupid and start a fight.
Show someone the screenshots before anything happens and you will be in a much better situation.

You might as well save the screenshots of his threats, just in case it comes down to a fight. But really, if he decides he wants to attack you and start a fight, you are not doing anything wrong if you defend yourself.

The best advice I can give you is just to stay the hell away from him. Me and my brother have been at each other's throats lately and keep getting into fist fights (he initiates them), and I've found the ONLY way to avoid them is to just literally stay the hell away from him. I try and plan my days so that I don't have to go anywhere near him, because I know if I do that he will entice me into a fist fight.

It has nothing to do with who is the bigger man, or teaching him a lesson, or anything like that. If you simply don't want to fight, then avoid him & ignore his threats and he should give it up after awhile. In the rare situation that he actually attacks you, then defend yourself and at least you will have the evidence to prove he took your little spat to the next level and started the violence.

Save screen shots for evidence and make sure you DON'T start the fight. Fight in self defence. If he starts on you.

dont fight him, aint no point, just show ur teachers and if he still insists on fighting, beat his ass after school away from ur school

[Lvl 75 Def]

Just wait and see. Dont react to him. Unless he starts a fight. Defend urself

[holy cherrys]

i dunno if im the only one who looks at it from such a prospective but, you initiated the fight by simply pulling the tie. Although im at sixth form and still wear a tie, it sure was a piss take to un-do the tie depending how hard it was pulled.
Unless he was a close friend and not any old kid in the class I wouldn't have pulled the tie seeing as its pointless and asking for trouble.

If it does escalate to violence, and getting knocked the fuck out dont forget to tell your head you started it, because im pretty sure there was no threatening until you pulled the rasclarts tie..

[Annex]

Meh just some kid overreacting, if he hits you then by all means defend yourself but I find that if you just let him be all pissy then he will calm down eventually.

[Pushing Limits]

You guys all got shitty replies.
1. Schools wont expell you because your finishing your exams, i know countless times this has happened... They're interested in getting the best for you

2.Fights arn't that big of a deal, if he starts... Knock him out.. if you cant, well your outa luck.

3. if you knock him out, YOU GO GET THE TEACHER, AND EXPLAIN - this will go well in your favour

4. when was grassing cool? That's more of a reason in my eyes for the guy to beat you up, ive never grassed on anyone for anything in my life... besides sythe scammers... and the only reason is because i cant beat the shit outa them! :P

5. if your not scared, why don't you just go up and speak to the guy... if he's a idiot then if a fight starts batter him.. self defence...
