Ignoring is good, but only when it annoys people the most. When someone does something bad to you, sometimes ignoring it is the worst thing you can do, because it affects you, and the other person thinks he or she can walk all over you. Kick their ass, and they'll be afraid of you.
True, but the thing is right now, I'm not in the city where "anything goes because the cops are busy". I'm in the freaking suburbs, where there's "neighborhood watches" and promoting "a safe community", amongst other BS. We usually don't have police in our schools, because if you've seen the school I'm in, they either have no reason to or they can't live up to their word. All people can get away with is verbal abuse, and if you compare that to online trolling, it's pretty easy to ignore. For example, I used to know this goth kid who'd swipe a candy bar every so often from the lunch line (even though he had a lunch and is supposedly "rich" by knowing celebrities), one stern look in the eyes and a shout to his face was enough to scare him from me, and set his fat ass on its merry way. Didn't even have to slam his head to a desk (even though I would've REALLY want to, even now). Usually, when my mouth is open and fuming, that's enough for people to get off my back, and there's not much reason to hate the people. Unless I wanna pull off a "Dark Knight", and make a personal vendetta to make everyone good to the world's standards.
And the places they choose to fight couldn't be any worse. Last year, 2 kids fought and wound up to the hospital. The scene? The street across from the school, not even half a mile away. It's even visible from the windows in the front of the school! Honestly, they're not even worth fighting for a grudge, or blowing off some steam. Might as well head into "Gotham City", aka. Chicago, Illinois.
Karate tournaments, on the other hand...
