Kids should be allowed to fight to an extent. It is healthy. Bottling emotion, not sharing ideas, not arguing and yes even fighting is counter productive to resolution and can lead to far worse things than "fighting" It is my completely unprofessional and non-psych trained opinion that many instances like Columbine or that crazy kid who shot the representative recently, could have been avoided if they got into a couple fights, felt the humanity of another person, resolved their weird issues. That said, it's adults responsibility to help resolve fights before they get physical. We are way too hard on kids that do fight though. Unless it's a dude hitting a chick, a couple bloody noses have far less long-term side-effects than getting all emo and suicidal. While I disagree whole-heartedly on the point about Columbine and "feeling the humanity of another person" (whatever that means), it is true that it's healthier for kids to be taught to deal with their problems with their peers independently rather than being taught to appeal to some figure of authority whenever someone makes them feel bad. Side: yes
"feeling the humanity of another person" Refers to an ability to more deeply empathize. It's sometimes easy to objectify others around us, but physical contact can often cure that, even if it is a fight. It's amazing how you can come off insulting and petty even when agreeing. Did you have to practice, or is it natural for you? Side: yes
I think that schools should have a class for boxing or something similar that kids can go to to take out their frustrations. But I hate school fights in the hall way personally. One time I got pepper sprayed just because I was trying to get to class during a fight. The fights at my school were ridiculous though, we had at least three or four a week. I hated it. Side: yes

Hold on. Isn't this a double standard you're setting up for your own ends? You say that fighting in school should not be allowed and then contradict yourself by saying that fighting is allowed for 'self defense'. I think you need to be clearer what your stand here is. Either fighting should be allowed or not. There is no gray area in between. In 'Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals', the great German philosopher Immanuel Kant said, "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." When you're talking about 'getting someone hurt', wouldn't "self defense", from your point of view, get another person hurt as well? Should that be tolerated? I think not. Let's look at the first maxim of Kant's Cateogrical Imperative, as I have quoted. It says basically that you should only act in a way whereby everyone is allowed to do what you have done without facing repercussions if you don't face any repercussions. Who is to decide then when "self defense" is allowed or not? Side: No
I am saying you aren't allowed to fight but if you have to defend your self from someone that is puching you or trying to beat you up you are allowed to use self denfense because that guy started it and you didn't do anything to the guy so you are using self defense. You are allowed to use self defense Side: No

I TOTALLY AGREE. I LOVE TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE. BUT THATS ONLY IF THEIR FUCKING WITH ME, OR PICKING ON MY SIBLINGS. I HAVE NEVER LOST A FIGHT IN MY LIFE, ND I NEVER WILL. IM NOT SAYING THAT IM SOME BAD ASS. IM NOT. BUT IM JUST SAYING THAT I WILL NEVER LOSE A FIGHT IN MY LIFE. Side: No
