Should I fight this kid? (Read my situation)

In December, this kid in my chemistry class took 10 dollars out of my backpack during lunch I saw him. When I tried bringing up with a higher up at the school they sat us down and he said he didn't take it. So I confronted him face to face and told him he's a liar and I want my money. So I told him that I know he's a liar and I know he took it,I never threatened him or anything however, he was scared when I confronted him. He didn't expect me to do that. I'm too quiet and "he won't do ****" as he said. So right now he's walkin around with a cocky little smirk, just how he is. But he won't make eye contact with me he won't even be within 10 ft of me. That used to be good enough but now he's lying saying to his friends I'm harassing him. I have let this slide too much and I'm tired of kids like him doing that. Now I know I have the strength to kill someone easy and I've never been in an actual fight so I don't know how hard to hit? Should I go for it? Out of many similar happenings?

    If you've never been in a fight, you have no idea if you can, because imagining yourself fighting and actually fighting are two different things. Even if you're bigger, it doesn't mean you'll not get your arse kicked. I've seen guys get their heads handed to them by guys much smaller than they were. You just don't know what someone is capable of doing when they get pushed, so I see no benefit to instigating something like that. If you have to defend yourself, that's one of those unfortunate things where you may have to fight, but until you've been punched cleanly in the nose, you don't really know what you're getting into.

    Not to sound like a badass, because I'm not....I just happened to have a rough upbringing and grew up in rough towns and rough schools, but until you've had your nose smashed against your face and tasted your own blood, you don't know what a street fight is like. Your training certainly won't hurt you, but a class is not the same thing as a fight or a brawl.

    You have a camera phone don't you? Why not shadow this guy. If he's stolen something before, he's bound to do it again. Next time time you'll have all the evidence you need, and you'll be vindicated.

    Mark your belongings too. Don't make it too obvious, but put your initials in a not so conspicuous place. If he ever does steal it, you can tell a school official,"Hey turn to page blah blah in my book, and you'll see that it's mine."

    You've labeled the guy a thief. Other people know it or suspect it. For $10 bucks, no one will ever trust him. Understand, that's all he's got. There is no future for a kid like that. Let go and don't let him near your back pack again.

    Now, it may be the pressure causes him to challenge you. If that happens don't posture. The guy who hits first and the hardest and keeps slugging is probably the one still standing at the end which is less than one very tiring minute. Don't hit and stand back to survey the results. If you're going to do it, do it so he doesn't want to get up. Then walk away. Do not challenge him.

    First of all, you are probably in high school or middle school and not yet 18, correct? That means you will probably get in trouble with the principal and/or your parents. When I was a kid I was picked on a lot, and if the school didn't do anything about it my father who was a minister gave me his blessing to hand out a well deserved *** whuppin'. So first you should tell the kid he has until the end of the week to give you back your money or he is going to get his rump kicked. Then when he doesn't, say 'Ok, I gave you the opportunity to make it right', and lay a whuppin' on him. Once he is unable to fight back or on the ground: stop attacking, help him up, and say: "I'm sorry it came to this, but that was the best $10 I ever spent." Let me know how it goes.

    well look at it like this, some people do math with paper and pencil, some with abacus, some with memorization and imagination, some with only memorization and paper and pencil. See how that could go on and on and each person possibly have a different way of doing their math due to their learning style. Then add theories into it and the way people use and learn that and it is going to all fall into statistics. All math. All logic. Both math and logic. So, whatever you can gather from that and use to make a peaceful conversation with the persona and learn a new academic topic would be far better than contributing to a violent act that could land you in a jail house. Right or wrong?

    Kick his ***. Even if you lose, he'll know that you're not going to let him take your **** without a fight. There comes a point where you have to do things that normally aren't the traditionally rational decisions. Trust me, if you do nothing now, you will continue to do nothing in similar situations for years to come.

    philosophy is the study of fundamental and general problems that can be connected with knowldge, values and language. The main areas of study in philosophy today consist of metaphysics and logic. Like for example the way a new calculation is discovered and proven. Making a mathematical theory, then the logic is studied in a philosophical aspect. Make sense, right or wrong? So you could show more than one way to add one plus one, until faculties remain or become evident.

    It's not worth 10 bucks to fight someone... you could get suspended, or you could do some real physical damage and be liable for hospital bills, etc. Maybe even reform school if parents press charges for assault. Forget it. Be the bigger man. He's a thief, and sadly he may have needed it more than you (perhaps for food, lunch at school, etc.) Just keep your bookback zipped in future, and carry all money in your pocket. Good luck. PEACE

    Gather up your manly grace, hold your head high and take the high road. I was in a situation many years ago, where someone was spreading lies about me. I kept my pith shut, I kept being who I am and developed this mantra, "you can believe what you want to believe, I ghetto know what I know". It took a while, but eventually everyone came to know MY truth and saw the b/s that he had been spouting.
