That's really not very good advice. All that coming after them with a bat can do is either encourage them to get something heftier, such as a gun, or get you in trouble with the law for assault with a deadly weapon.

You can try to talk to them, if they are in your school you can talk to teachers/principal, and only as a last resort would I turn to fighting them.

Maybe they think you wronged them somehow? Communication is highly underrated.

Very true, so be certain to use a few choice expletives when using your baseball bat

"Throw a $#@$% rock at me will you!!"

Call the police......that's called assault. You do need to defend yourself, but anyone with a weapon is crazy and needs help. You need to inform local law inforcement and press charges. Good luck.

Before you take this to a new level, perhaps you should make sure when you get into this fight, you can handle your own. First, take the time to sit down and talk to the athorities. If they offer you no help, let them know you will be forced to defend yourself. If they will not back down after throwing rocks, do not turn the other cheak. Make sure first you have taken all the right steps to resolve this in a non-violent way. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I also think it's wrong for you to seek help, not get it, then be tormented. Stick up for yourself!

well said orion

Fight back. Do everything you can to getthem on the ground and walk away. If someone does that to you and you dont do something back then that gives them that much more reason to pick on you.

Sounds like a pretty serious situation for sure.

I have to agree with what everyone here has said *mostly....a baseball bat is probably a bit much *

Ultimately, make sure you stand up for yourself, with the confidence that you will not be walked on.

Keep in mind, as most have suggested...talking to the authorities is a good course of action, and is part of standing up for yourself.

In the training i've recieved, and IMHO a good practice, is to primarily avoid a fight..but if you're ever left with no alternative action...use equal force to what they're using *or their intention*...if they come at you with a big rock, and are serious about using it, don't be afraid to break an arm *one of theirs...not your own if at all possible* You don't want to hospitalize them, but enough that they understand that it's simply not worth coming after you anymore.
