What's so difficult about the ''keep your hands and feet to yourself'' rule?

[CaliGirl99]

If that's generally taught in kindergarten then why are there so many fights?

A fight usually starts when someone turns a verbal argument into a physical altercation. Someone usually throws the first hit (slap, punch, whatever) and off course there is a 50% chance the other person retaliates. Sometimes it doesn't stop right there but keeps going on until one eventually loses.

If I were to asked every adult if they have gotten into any fight in their life.. I'm guessing about 95% would answer yes and only 5% would say no.

I quess when someone can't win an argument the "adult" way they try it the other way. I've been doing martial arts now for more then half my life. first to protect myself from bully's and physical abuse and later to protect others. I don't believe violence is the way to go but humans are still animals. occasionally one of them thinks they are better and have the right to do whatever they want to whoever. and if after a few warnings and trying to verbally solve the situation they don't stop i'll step in. just like with animals they are the boss until there is someone stronger then them to keep them in check. i've found that after I "corrected" someone they weren't very agressive towards others anymore. some of them i've even become friends with. kittens fight. puppy's fight. apes fight. humans fight. It's nature and as long as the overly agressive ones know there is someone who is stronger there is order in the jungle😂 hope i was helpfull!

School ground fights are a part of growing up. The problem is, once adults you then move into territory of assault that can be deadly. No one expects to kill someone by punching their lights out, but it can and does happen. So yeah, think before you throw a punch.

Part of weapons training for self defense is learning how to diffuse a situation, how to address, apologize, and walk away. It's just not worth it. If you're threatened with grave bodily injury or death you respond in kind. It's lethal and legitimate.

Most of the time it's due to emotional issues. Someone could be bottling up all their negative emotions and then boom.

[CaliGirl99]

Could be. Though someone's emotional issues shouldn't be an excuse for someone to transfer that energy to me into a hit.

[Personontheinternet]

I partially agree with your statement, I don't believe in street fighting. But I believe that fighting can be beneficial to relieving that stress. They could turn to boxing which teaches discipline. Or they could play different sports to get rid of that negative energy. Or they could turn to other ways such as chess, art, music, etc. Everyone is different.

The kids are normally messing around then one gets hurt and that's how it starts.

[Rojaasu]

anger's purpose is to prepare animals to fight humans are animals too so its just natural that we fight

[Anonymous]

It is because people say stupid BS and start stuff and deserve to get beat down to shut them up.

[CaliGirl99]

If words can get you to beat up someone, then that person needs anger management badly. That's called assault.

[Opinion Owner]

Nah it's fine. People need to learn not to say messed up things. That is why there are school shootings. People are allowed to say messed up stuff way too much and that harms someone a lot more that old school physical bullying did.

[TheDamnYankeeLad]

Testosterone. That's the reason.

[AnikaK]

thats a chemical thats not a reason. thats like saying we have war bc of saltpeter.

[TheDamnYankeeLad]

We have war because of testosterone, too. Guys want to beat the shit out of each other OR fuck somebody.

[CaliGirl99]

and what's the excuse of catfights? It usually starts with one girl slapping or grabbing the other's hair first and the other girl obvious hits back

[CaliGirl99]

I once saw two girls in my HS actually using fists instead of slapping. What's the excuse of that?

[TheDamnYankeeLad]

Do I look like a bloody gynecologist? I don't know how or why such things happen. I do know that boys will be boys, and we will continue to beat the living crap out of each other. Efficient exercise, too. I used to be quite the fighter, you know. Won a few good ones back in middle school, so I did. Fighting is a good past time, and there are far worse things for young lads to entertain themselves with

[boochie0]

It's hard if they put their hands on me

[CaliGirl99]

Same here. I was referring for those that hit first (it's natural to retaliate since they already escalate something verbal into physical). What part of ''keep your hands and feet'' to yourself do they not understand?

[Sylvainnn]

Bc some people can't control their anger like me

[Anonymous]

Some people are jsut clueless

[GayHowellMeme]

I miss being 5 years old in kindergarten.

[Anonymous]

People now get upset over the small details.
