My eldest son, Gman had another incident at school last week, just before they broke for Q end vacations. Seems there's a boy in a grade below him, but his age, who's decided he wants to do battle with Gman. But typically my son's not interested in fisticuffs and rumbling, especially not at school. Not that he's scared mind you, but I've managed to teach him that it's just not on. Especially today where there is a good chance that the other guy is going to pull a weapon of sorts, or his 4-5 friends will get stuck in as well.
Anyway, he put the guy off by ignoring him, facing him off, and by trying to stay out of his way. Friday last week the kid took him on after school, just outside of the school yard. Bad mistake. Gman was standing with some of his bigger friends, and the "Leb gang" who are also friendly with him, were close by. Gman once again warned the kid off, and in the ensuing fracas, managed to walk away, leaving the Leb gang of about 7 individuals in a standoff with about 7-9 of these black kids who were looking for trouble! Interesting position! Needless to say the black kids backed off. (The Lebs rule by reputation!!)
You will note I have now "colour coded" the players. This is because there is a definite "racial" divide at the school, with the black kids constantly trying to prove their positions, or reacting on that big chip they carry on their shoulders. This was another "power play" where someone had said something, and this idiot decided he would prove his status. Bong! Wrong target bro. MAYBE HE SHOULD CONSIDER TAKING ON ONE OF THE DELINQUENTS RENOWNED FOR THEIR FIGHTING PROWESS!
unbeknownst to everyone, the deputy head girl was close by, and took note of the affair. Saturday he attended a school sporting event. The aggressor was also there. And started his shit again. At this point on of Gmans friends took the kid for a walk, and a talk. When they returned it had been resolved. Not sure what transpired there, or promises of broken legs and things were made, but it would seem that it is now over!
Monday morning the deputy head girl was into the Heads office and related the story to him. This saw Gman in the heads office explaining his side of the story. He got the usual accolades for his handling of the event, and was told how proud they are of him, etc. And told him that should this reoccur, he had Carte Blanche to go straight to the head, and it would result in immediate suspension, with possible expulsion of the offender!
At 6 foot tall, about 70 kg, and fit, Gman is a serious contender in any scrap. Even though he has this advantage he is mature enough to know that there is nothing to be gained, but much to be lost in getting involved in a fisticuffs, especially at school / in school uniform.
However, I think that some day even he will have had enough, and is going to rip into someone and do some damage. Then maybe his mark will be made, and he will be left alone. Either that, or I will make good my promise to visit the school armed with my baseball bat. And I know how to use itÂ
He's a very athletic type, plays cricket, grass and astro hockey, and swims for the school team, so I don't think he qualifies as a pushover. Just rises above the rest in this matter!
Salagatle!
