So, it all started a couple years back in the 7th grade, I lost a fight to some kid. Didn't have any marks or bruises, but everyone said I lost the fight. I was nervous going into it, had no confidence, and the guy was older then me. After that, I got trashed on by a couple kids I have never talked to in my life, I mean, I've known about them, but I've never had a conversation with them. These were the typical "popular" kids. They talk trash to a bunch of people, for no apparent reason, just because they can get away with it and no one does anything.
Lately, I was confronted by the only two kids that still carry on with it...(i'm a junior in high school now). I know I could take one kid fer sure, but the other one, i'm a little intimidated by. The one that I know I could take, started trash talkin me, and i did it back, and he backed off. But this other kid keeps making just random disrespectful outbursts, and it just embarrasses me because I don't do anything about it, and it's in front of a lot people. Again, I have never talked to the kid in my life, I'm usually cool with most people, and I rarely trash talk ANYONE, it's just not me.
So, this kid is pretty much the same build as me, maybe a bit more in shape, but that's about it. I know strength isn't everything, but we're both about 5'11, 150lbs. doin 3 sets of 8 at 185 on the bench press (I see him at the gym sometimes while i'm working out).
Haven't heard about him getting in any fights, just knew some kid punched him in the face last year, but it was broken up right away, no big deal.
I haven't been in a fight in a couple years, but I have been in around 5-6 in my life. Every time this kid says something to me, it bothers me for the next hour, and I get all nervous about fighting him, and what happens if I lost. Again, I'd say we're about the same build, but I'd say he has more aggressiveness then I do, and he probably has more confidence.
This has been bothering me, and I'm sick of it. I've tried talking it out with him, but he was with his friends, and they called me a pus*y. I'm not sure what I should do here.
Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
