I've was in physical fights a lot when I was younger. I got caught up in drama and somehow me and another girl would end up fighting, almost every time though the other girl threw the first punch. I don't like confrontation but if someone's gonna step to me and hit me, I'm going to hit her back.

Nowadays I avoid fights, but I'm also a completely different person so fights don't really begin in the first place.

Edit: there was this one time me and this one girl were in a bar, this was like 10 years ago, and she went by me and pushed me. Ok whatever. Later that night she threw a drink on me and said "I saw you looking at my man b**** " no idea what she was talking about. I got so pissed and in a black out rage I beat her up. I don't even remember. All I remember is talking to my bf who was in total shock afterwards. I hit my breaking point, but that's no excuse

I got beat up by all my cousins growing up. Well i was a 4th grader and he was an 8th grader and broke up with some girl it made her mad. I was walking home from school and got jumped by those 8th grade girls. After that i learned how to defend my self. Im not confrontational im pretty laid back, but if its something i feel strongly about ill do what i have to do. Mess withy kid, or family and its on. Im not the type of person to watch some one get bullied either i will step in and help. I dont go looking for fights but put your hands on me and im not walking way like that scared little 4th grader anymore.

@spank Defending my family is a whole other ballgame!!!

I mean I let a lot go and try not to fight. But I mean when I was 16 and pregnant with my first daughter I found out her dad was cheating on me. I went to his house to confront him and the girl was there. I told her the truth and said so you know we are together and we were just together that morning. She ran outside threatening to fight me I stood in place. Started walking to my car she wanted to come after me I turned around chased her back to her car and then threw her out of her car and proceeded to hit her a few times. I wasn't about to let her hit me from behind when I was almost 7 months pregnant.

I mean I can get crazy when pushed to the point. But I never try to start a fight but I damn sure will finish one when it calls for it.

I guess it depends on what the fight is about. If someone is just being an ass or a racist I walk away because you can't fight ignorance. I've gotten into a few fights when I was younger because my dad always said to defend myself but being in ny as well you never know who you will run into especially a lot of people carry weapons. But mess with my kids or family and you are going to get it! ???

In high school all the upperclassmen girls really

Really really disliked me. Okay they hated me like a lot. And they would always threaten to beat me up. They'd call me names and stand in front of me during football/basketball

Games and yell names at me while I was cheerleading. I literally never acknowledged them once. It made them look dumb and kept me out of trouble. Sometimes I look back at it now and wish I would have knocked a bish out. I've never been in a fight because I usually just ignore people when they do or say something...like they don't even exist. I wouldn't have an issue grabbing a girl by the hair and kneeing her in the face if they threw the first punch. I won't ever start a fight though.

I've gotten in a few fights in school and a couple of physical ones with my dad, (he was a mean drunk) I had him in a head lock and almost choked him out because he through a kitchen chair at me. My brother stopped the fight and I moved out lol

Id never start a fight, but my parents taught me to never lose one!

I did start a fight once...kinda. I was in high school and some douche was poking fun at my little brother who was a freshman calling him fat and slapping his books. I ran up and choked him and slammed him against a locker, and punched him in the face. He ran to the nurse..i got detention for 4 days and suspended for the week..also broke a few fingers :/ nobody else messed with my brother though.

Unfortunately a lot of bullies never outgrow it. They continue their pattern into adulthood

I haaattteee confrontation, and I usually always try avoiding it. But... There have been a handful of times when someone messed with a friend or relative of mine and all of my morals went out the window. Unfortunately I'm not proud to admit that alcohol was usually involved when these things happened. And, luckily my husband is like a ninja and every time I've almost made a huge mistake he carried me away. They weren't my finer moments.

Oh! And once I caught my ex seeing his ex at a restaurant. Once I caught them he chased me outside as I was trying to leave to talk and she ran out after us too. As he pleaded with me to stay and talk about it she kept going on and on about how it was a misunderstanding and all this stuff. I finally got so mad that I popped her in the face. After I did it though it was like I shocked myself! I had never hit anyone and this chick was nearly a foot taller than me. Luckily nothing came of it though. She cried and left and we all never spoke again. I think sometimes you just hit the end of your rope though...

Im not tough or a wuss. I do however , stand my ground..i have been in 4 fights when i was in school.

@red and Pistone I'll add you both to my now growing list

In not a fan of confrontation, but I will defend myself.

I had a girl who used to bully me on the bus when I was about 14. One day she took it too far, got off at my bus stop, and attempted to "jump" me (basically kick my ass). Well jokes on her because my Uncle was an MMA fighter and taught me a thing or two. She hit me first (ended up with a nice black eye).. I shut her down ended up breaking her jaw. Needless to say she learned her lesson and I stopped her from running her mouth and she never picked a fight with me again. Am I proud of what I did, no not really. She really could have hurt me if I didn't know how defend myself so I feel like she got what she deserved. I had no issues with any bullies after that.

@newly *noted.. Speak softly to newly at all times ?

Red took the words right out of my mouth.

I am the exact same way!

2 or 3 years ago a man almost killed us when my hubby and I were riding on our motorcycle. We were driving home and a Honda bike came from behind us and cut off a long group of people ahead of us. The volvo behind us was pissed. He wanted to get ahead of us and he pulled some seriously dangerous moves including pulling up beside us on our left side on a 2 lane road while we were trying to make a left hand turn. When he pulled up to a stop sign infront of us I jumped off the bike and ran to his window. I screamed at him called him every name in the book and lectured him on how dangerous his actions were. He kept apologizing sinking lower and lower in his seat. He said that he thought we were with the other bike that cut everyone off so he was pissed at us. People stopped their vehicles to watch, people walking on the sidewalk stopped. Once I was done I hopped back on the bike and sobbed. My hubby laughed. Lol

I've never been in a physical fight. I do voice my opinion, and never let anyone talk to me crazy.

I have no problem sticking up for myself of my family.

I avoid confrontation.

With that being said I'm a 2nd degree black belt with 10 years of experience.

Plus I run half/full marathons.

So I can tough up if I need, plus I have the stamina

I was bullied a lot in school until the day I stood up for myself. After they got the message that I would fight back they began to leave me alone. I have never initiated a physical confrontation but I have been involved in several in which I feel I defended myself. I don't consider myself tough and actually think it takes more mental toughness to turn the other cheek.

I was only in one actual fight, and it was more of a decimation ?

Usually if things get heated my attitude makes people back down. It didn't work that time, and I kept running my mouth even when she had just taken me to the cleaners.

I told the story once and someone reported me, so that's all I've got on it lol.

What murdock said ? I'm a chicken. I'm the one that calls the cops

I will defend myself or my loved ones if necessary, and will step in to help someone out if they are being bullied. I don't seek physical confrontation, I was bullied a lot growing up and was in several very abusive relationships. That being said, I will not idly stand by.

Iv never been in a physical fight. Im not a confrontational person I would probably cry lol

I've punched a dude once. In self defense but I've never been in a fight, ever. I don't see the point, if something is that serious, I'll get police or courts involved.

I agree with that statement @walrus
