It was like a scene from Fight Club. Only we were school children. It was outside. It was sunset. I had a disagreement with a friend. They swarmed around us. Like spectators ringside at a boxing event. It was really crazy. One minute, I'm in the street playing, next minute it's like some 10 year old Tyler Durden, has organized , a settlement to some dispute. Even picked the location. Which was a grassy area. I didn't want to fight. I think I just started jabbing, swinging, and it was stopped, when the kid I punched started crying. Like the incredible hulk, I think I must have taken a hit to the torso, and just kinda went all out, in a fit of anger.
 
Only ever had playfights with my brother, and the last one went beyond playful and I ended up really hurting him. As soon as it felt like it was an actual fight, I got the red mist and I beat the crap out of him until he was lying on the floor. Thing is, it was clear the fight was over long before I stopped.

He lay on the floor groaning, and I panicked, then ran off and locked myself in the bathroom and burst into tears. Stayed there for hours until my parents got home. I don't recall him telling my parents. It just remained unspoken of.

Never had a fight since. Probably a good thing, as I was quite worried how quickly I got carried away with my emotions.

I've said to my therapist a few times that I get it when people fly off the handle over trivial things. If you haven't stood up for yourself for a long time, and people continually overstep the boundaries - then I get why sometimes people snap. Like road rage, or some minor transgression that ends in violence.

As the media and justice system will say - there's no justification for it. But I think those moments are simply a release of a culmination of prolonged stress. So, whilst violence never solves anything - I think eventually everyone has a breaking point.

I recall a few kids organising fights after school. I watched a couple and it wasn't really a fight. No bruises or cuts etc. Just 2 people flailing about and not really attempting to hurt one another.

Wow...Nick..Nicky..Nicholas...bumping my random old thread.

Yeah depends on where you grew up. Some place are more violent. Nobody knows karate around here, maybe 'drunk-fu.'

Yeah Been threatened more time than actual fights. Better to diffuse a situation, rather than escalate to something stupid and end up hurting yourself , others, over nothing. Fighting is so childish and dumb.
