this girl who ive never met before just started a bunch of crap with me and a few people. its getting to the point where its going to have to be handled in person.
i'm into kickboxing classes, so i know how to punch pretty hard.
bottom line is, if it gets down to the point where needed, i will punch this girl in the face.
please dont preach how violence isnt the answer
but just a few questions
1. how much trouble can i get in?
2. i dont want to like hurt her permanently, but like a nice bruise or something would be good, so how would i go about doing that?

If you're young, you'll probably be put in a diversion program, meaning you have to do community service and write an essay, but don't forget that you still go to court. Court costs are pretty expensive, believe me, you'll regret it and your parents will hate you.
Plus, you'll be in deeper shit if you hit her and she doesn't fight back.
Anyways, kickboxing may teach you how to kick an punch hard or correctly, but it is not the same thing as fighting.
Don't let anger control you. You have to think about the consequences. Is it really worth it? just because some girl is talking shit about you? Things could be worse; God forbid, but if someone murdered your brother/sister, THEN you'd have something to be more upset about..
HiChick answered Saturday March 8 2008, 7:32 pm: well if its at school they call the police at least at my school... and you could get in some big trouble so maybe not actually hit her...idk but i dont think its a good way to go about things unless she hits you first then im ok with you hitting her but only to get her to leave you alone dont just beat the crap out of her because...anyway hope i helped :) [ HiChick's advice column | Ask HiChick A Question ]
Alin75 answered Saturday March 8 2008, 5:49 pm: Even though I do know a fair amount on the subject, I will not advise you on how to hurt this girl. I will comment on question 1 however.
How much trouble you can get into depends very much on your age. It would help if you specify it.
If you are very young, i.e. in the low teens, you will probably get detention, and they might contact your parents. That is of course presuming nothing goes wrong and you end up seriously hurting this girl. Then the punishment could be suspension or worse.
If you are an adult then they will take this more seriously. I am not familiar with American laws on unarmed fighting but here, in Denmark, if you know a martial art they consider you "armed". Its a terribly unfair rule in my opinion but thats a different story.
Either way what will matter is how the fight began (i.e. how it looked like it began to onlookers). If it escalates from a argument they will regard it more of a mutual blame. If she gets physical with you too then you will both be blamed equally unless you overreact (there is a fine line between self defense and punishment). If you are young the consequences of the things I just mentioned shouldnt be too great. But, if you walk up to her and whack her one on the nose (seemingly without provocation to onlookers), you would be in worse trouble. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]

ORIGINAL:
Your kickboxing teacher has been teaching you not to use what you know unless someone strikes you first. If she hits you than by all means strike back to defend yourself.
If she's just talking trash and you strike her for it you're the bad guy. You can count on a suspension then and other disciplinary actions even if she had been bullying you relentlessly. It won't matter a damn if you hit her first before she hits you.
As tempting as it is wait until she gets physical first. You then will have ground to defend yourself and will not wind up in trouble. If they suspend you for defending yourself it's really a joke and badge of honor. No matter what anyone tells you to the contrary if someone hits you first fire back. That's the only appropriate time to hit someone.
Your kickboxing teacher wouldn't approve of you hitting someone first. What should you do? document every time she's caused you trouble in a book be it over the phone or not and see if the admin and your teachers, parents can handle it first.
If they cannot show this girl that you don't give a damn about what she has to say about you period. Don't react to her at all and she should get tired of trying to make you her target. She has more problems than you do believe me. She's likely jealous because loads of people like you or you have a talent or status she wished she had.
it would be wrong for any of us to tell you how to bruise her face up pretty good. I'm sure if you had to hit her you'd know how to do it based on your training. But, as I said unless she hits you first you can't get away with it.
Your kickboxing skills come with the responsibility of knowing when not to use them. It's not time yet with this person unless she's hit you.
If it comes to dumping her on her butt to defend yourself use what you've been taught in the gym and let the chips fall where they may. I'm not trying to contradict myself but if knocking her down is the only way to get her to stop after telling adults, trying to resolve it correctly you can use your weight and enough force to knock her down without punches and kicks.
That would cause her to think twice. Instead of punching, kicking try shoving or using a non-violent way that doesn't involve strikes, kicks, punches to put her on the seat of her pants provided you have a lot of justification beyond taunts and verbal stuff you don't like.
More or less the admin, teachers et. will see you as the bad guy and regardless of what this girl said or started unless she hit you they'll take her side in this. Document what is happening and have adults deal with it. When that fails then resort to whatever else you have to employ. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
