    School cafeteria, 7th grade. I punched a fellow student because he called me 'fatso'. He was taller than me so I didn't try for the face. I punched him in his solar plexus. It completely incapacitated him. Nobody called me 'fatso' after that.

    No, no...there are too many small breakable bones in the hand to use it to punch someone in the face!



    It's a thousand times safer to slam their face into a locker or give your lunch money to the school bully to make the "problem" go away...

    My dad served with Chesty Puller.

    3 landings with the First Marines.

    My dad, he's my hero.

    I have never hit anyone...but I did get punched in the face once, when I was about 12 by a little girl (couple of years younger and tiny) who said she didn't like the expression on my face. I was stunned, jaw dropping surprised.

    No way, that's incredible! Chesty Puller was an incredible man, so if your dad served with him then he is also an incredible man.

    Yeah, he was with him on Guadalcanal. ( landed 1st wave, August 7th 1942 ) He was a 19 year old Ohio farm boy.

    He thought the world of Chesty.

    Dad would start to talk about Guadalcanal and then stop midsentence.... and then change the conversation; it left a mark.

    Yes and even as an adult. BIL ex kept drunk calling from 2-4 am, so I had hubby drive me to her apartment and I got into with her. I think I freaked her out when she headbutted me and I didn't stop.

    No, but I accidentally kicked my best friend in the face when she stepped into my roundhouse.

    yeah, several times, and received punches to the face and been kicked repeatedly, whipped with a wire, a metal ruler, a branch like a 2 by 4, kneed in the gut. this was in primary and high school.

    are we meant to be bragging here or feeling sorry for ourselves?

    I got slapped once by a known bully in middle school. Turns out she is my second cousin. I was mortified by the confrontation and cried, a lot, lol.

    No.
    I had some physical fights with my siblings as a kid but no face punching. No physical fights otherwise in my life.

    At 47 I have never been in a physical altercation. I hope to never be. I'm a lover, not a fighter.

    good morning!

    I have broken up fights and physically restrained a few people but fortunately, I haven't actually had to throw a punch since 6th grade. I told him to leave me alone and the idiot sucker punched me. I hit him and he hit the ground. Instead of backing down, the fool got back up and tried to take another swing at me. I hit him again and he hit the ground again. That was the end of it.

    Yup, I was 16 and she was 21. She found out I was dating her ex and jumped me in the parking lot of a convenience store. I didn't even know who she was until she started yelling at me. She pushed me and everything happened really fast. I hit her, she grabbed me, I fell landing halfway underneath my open car door and she got on top of me. I couldn't see her face at that point so I was grabbing, kicking, and punching every fleshy part I could trying to get her off me. Sirens could be heard and her friends dragged her back to their car and they took off.

    I went straight home, but when my friend told my mom what happened she took me straight to the police station to give a statement. As far as I know nothing ever came of it, but I never saw her again.

    I was a wimp from elementary school through highschool. Part of the reason why I chose to improve my physique and get better at martial arts (I did take it as a kid, but it was basically all kata) and boxing. I've only had to use it a couple of times past my 20's and didn't get my *kitten* kicked. Broke a dude's arm though.
