Indeed! And thus proving my point. You can learn things from bad experiences and become a "better" person from it. You can also get damaged to never fully recover again. I can imagine your confidence may have been irreversibly damaged by such a disappointing outcome.

What the heck part of the world do you live in then? 

@above

Deep in Detroit, Michigan.

Yup, you can't find anyone there! I would try to get out as soon as possible.

Detroit - population:  713,777 as of 2010

Detroit metro area population: 4,296,250

If you can't find good people there, then your not trying hard enough.

lmmmaaaaaoooooo^^^^

Jay520, you came out of this fight a bigger pussy then ever. You might as well got down on your knees and performed oral on him

I think the way Jay has been handling some of the direct insults in this thread proves that he is a lot more mature than some of the "wise" ones here....

@Jay: you are only 17, one day you will look back at this and laugh :)

Jay: “That's a bit extreme, don't ya think?”

Unfortunately No, it’s not extreme. You seem to honestly believe that this fight may have helped you. In no way is this true. In no way does someone build muscle, become stronger after an incident like this.


Jay “I've lived in my town for seventeen years and I've yet to meet someone without the aforementioned mentality. There may be a few around here, but I have yet to meet them. They're probably anti-social.”

Looking at where you’re from. Indeed inner city areas can be tough, I have at least.. a better understanding now, The last two sentences are idiotic though. Disregarding.



Jay:
“
Who said I was mature?

Besides, if I didn't accept the fight, everyone would have though that I was a punked and they would have shunned me. Then I would have no real friends to talk to.

I know what you're thinking: they're not worthy of being friends if they think like that. I know, but as social creatures, we humans NEED human interaction and the persons in my community are all I have contact with. That's what I'm going to have to settle for, even if they have horrible morals.”


This is the most valid thing that you have said. If this was mentioned earlier, I wouldn’t have been so rough on you. It’s important though, to slowly break away from these people. In the long run, if their morals are not beneficial then they’re not true friends. They will only keep you down.


I disagree with all the “LOL SUCH PUSSY XD LMFAO!” Silly social stigmas that they are pertaining too, makes them just as idiotic. Nor are they any better.

Jay a personal question. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want too, I’m fairly certain I know the answer, based on your living condition but ..

do you have plans to go to college?
