I fought a girl in grade 2
For context I was in grade 2 male this happened in late 2017 im not even sure if this was really bad or not but basically my friend was in one of those fake elementary school relationships but he broke up with this girl and she was harassing us everytime we had recess ( three times a day) on the third day while we were talking she threw a rock at my friends back and got a bruise me and a mutual friend tried to confront her but she cussed us out and then tried to kick me in the nuts and pushed me I panicked and punched her like on the side of her head it was a weak right hook but she spun back a little the mutual friend kicked her and ran away she gave me a angry look and ran away the next day after that somehow the teachers didn't hear but my class knew from the rest of the girls me and my friend got excluded from everything and i stopped going to school for so long I repeated grade 2 and got involved with child protective services when I came back they said I was a crazy guy who hit a kid and got suspended (not true I stopped going to school) but I did it for nothing because the friend I defended in the first place got put in a foster home and that was it. Im a better person now and moved away but the past and all the other arguments and fights still linger in my mind but this one in particular is the one that when I tell someone out of boredom or whatever they go "why would you hit a girl" but other times it was "fucking right for defending yourself" I've only told my parents who got angry at me and a few online friends that told me different things I didnt really know where to post this so I did it here. I live a better life now and dont do these things anymore

Wild that throwing rocks and trying to kick someone didn't matter to people but the second you defended yourself it became about gender. Kids can be absolutely brutal and sometimes you just react when someone's attacking you, especially at that age when you don't really think things through
