I like theoldone.

Brian, the reason I cant avoid him no matter how much I might want to is because our timetables are identicle, I put up with this since I started sixth form its getting a bit tiring.

Theoldone, I like your Idea of 'selling him', vry very funny really.

He says hes done tae kwon do but hes terrible (to the point where if you saw him in action you would have to hit him), the idea complimenting him would be the ultimate irony, though if I did start talking to him like that he would be immeidiatly intised (he thrives on compliments) yes I think if I were to inflate hi ego a bit it might work to my advantage, maybe it will encourage him to work on his 'martial art' and not on me.

Ill see how it goes.

"He has to give permission to you which he wouldn’t do. that’s why if your getting interrogated by the police they tell you this is being recorded"

You have just hit the nail on the head.
"They tell You..."
They don't ask your permission, all they have to do is inform you.
Do you live in England, Derik?
Your profile comes up a little short of info

The law in this country is not as set in stone as it is elsewhere, as it is based on "Precedent" and can change everytime a Judge decides on a case.

I have taken legal advice on this issue because my home is protected by CCTV with audio included and therefore is subject to the same regulations.

That is the last thing I'll say on this issue as it is getting way off topic.
Derik, if you wish to carry on this discussion, PM me.

McSensie is right, in the UK you must give warning of any recording, not get permission. Thats why you have signs up telling you of surveilance cameras in an area covered by them. They dont switch em off if you dont consent to be recorded

Sorry to add to the

Dauragon, I'm not trying to be silly or anything. Are you sure this guy doesn't have a crush on you?

Good Luck!

Wow, so this is what goes on in this end of the forum.

From my own experience. In my younger grades in the 70's and the early 80's I fought ... too much. In some schools I was tough and other schools I wasn't. In some schools I wasn't picked on and others I was. If push came to shove I'd fight and I'd win some and I'd loose some. BUT the more I fought the easier it was and was expected by everybody. It was almost like I was a target. Mid 80's when in grade 11 and 12 I never had to fight. I didn't look for it and it didn't look for me. I didn't come off as a tough guy so I had no target on my back. Perhaps you have this target on your back and that is why he is continually being your problem.

Sure you could beat this guy down and perhaps you will be a hero or be noticed as a tough guy and not to mess with ... or perhaps you will have an even bigger target on your back. Or perhaps this kid then wants to get revenge and gets a couple of buddies to jump you one day ... or he snaps and brings a weapon.

Nobody can tell you what to do but understand if you do something there can be consequences. Not to mention what you do now in life sets in motion patterns when you are older. It is always good to have a good template of dealing with situations when you are younger so that when you are older life is that much easier.

Going to school is never easy ... and with violence like it is now it may be harder then when I was in school. I hate being bullied or pushed around and I hate backing down as then it makes me feel weak inside ... and that can't be good either as you don't want to be a push over all of your life either. There are no easy answers and you will need to decide for yourself the best course of action. What ever you do understand there is no taking it back so make good decisions. I feel for you dude, and I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this. Trust me, life is what you make of it and sometimes the little things are just that, little things. Good luck.

Ah, the artist formerly known as good
