• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm cooked.

Well, to put things shorty, I've been annoyed at school by this little twerp of about half my size, but unable to do anything about it due to the fact that if I even layed a finger on him a) his ultra-rich parents will come and sue me or b) the school'll boot me.

However, on Friday I'd had enough and beat the living tar out of him. Unfortunatly I went a bit overboard and had him gasping on the ground in front of around 30 people. Of course, nobody really knows why I did it (the kid had also beat up my own brother), so I look pretty bad now. Plus, I don't think the school will be at all sympathetic, even though I had only one choice on a course of action. Yuck! Essentially, my rep's now down the drain and I could be seriously messed over here.

Yeah...I suppose I had to rant this somewhere.

I don't understand why you say it was your only choice to beat him? You've managed to control yourself for quite some time, what happened?

I know it's hard, but beating someone up doesnt solve much. Instead you could try to understand him. Someone who spends his time trying to make you go berserk can't really be well. Pray to God to give you wisdom and understanding. You're likely going to meet a lot of people in your life that annoy you, and you can't beat them all up.

I agree with the above poster that you should calmly lay out the facts of what this guy has been doing. Remember to be patient, and honest, when dealing with this, you're prolly going to be hearing "his side of the story" a lot.

I see the words "I'm cooked" and it causes me to be concerned that you think all is lost and now you might not try to do what is right.

It is NEVER too late to try to turn around and do what is right!

First, pray about this and ask for God's forgiveness. Then go talk to your minister and your parents and be totally completely honest with them and don't keep anything from them. Seek their advice.

I suggest that you ask your parents if they could help you get into an Anger Management class somewhere. I teach one for adults but I know there of a group in the small city I live in for high school age kids. If this small city has one, I bet there is one where you live too. If you voluntarily ask for the Anger Management Class and enroll in it BEFORE you go to court or deal with the school authoriities, this could really be to your advantage. Of course, you should really WANT to work on your anger because when you go to the class, if you don't seem to think you have a problem the instructors report about you to the school or court will not be good.

You can't change what already happened, but you CAN start right now to make some changes in yourself so that it doesn't happen again.

Who are saints? Sinners who fall down, and get back up again! You fell down. Don't give up, stand back up and walk the straight and narrow path.

Ok, thanks all for the posts you made here. As it turns out I'm not in too much trouble, but now I'm fealing quite bad and will certainly need to ask God for forgiveness. Apparently they guy's got issues I didn't really know about.

And yes, maybe an anger management class might be handy, but really, I can hold it in quite well as I lasted a full year almost. Again, thanks for posting.
