Violent?

[QuantumPhysics]

My brother died on September 5th 2010. He was 18 months old. Earlier this year I attended a sleepover with 5 or 6 of my friends. Somehow (in the morning) me and another boy got into an argument, his name was John, he said:
'At Least My Brother Is Still Alive' I had been preparing myself at the beginning of High School for this. But without thinking I put down my glass and rugby tackled him onto the bed and got him into a headlock and punched him loads in the head. He finally got up from it and pushed me onto the sofa and sat on me. The whole time my friends were watching and they helped when the idiot John sat on me. I told the parent who was looking after us and they 'sorted' it. Then I went home and told my mum. But it wasn't until a month after that John knocked on my door in the morning and gave me a card that had one word spelt right. Me and my best friend were recently talking about the party and he said tht I turned into the most violent person ever.
What would you do in this situation?
Has this happened to you before?

id tell him to shut the fuck up or id kick him through a plate glass window.

[QuantumPhysics]

I would of done that if I knew Krav Maga!

[Vocabulous]

[QuantumPhysics]

I know. But I kinda liked being violent.

Now I'm back to being a nerd again.

I'm usually a nonviolent person, but if a personal blow like that was made, I'd give him a verbal warning to back off first. After that, I'd probably lose my shit, unfortunately.

Also, what the FUCK is wrong with being a nerd?

[QuantumPhysics]

Everyone thinks that I'm a girl. That I can't be violent. That I'm gay. They are all wrong. Being a nerd is fun until people take the mick

This will probably get better responses here...

Dude Im sorry about your little bro. If I were u I wud snapped like u BUT The thing is HE thinks u r a violent guy, and that's is not right. Has he been your friend before or u met him that moment? Have u done cool stuff with him like sport or whatever ? WHY u think He wanted to hurt you? Im gonna tell u someting Im gay, and is very tuf being gay surrounded by str8 guys all the times. And is very hard to keep friends. Sorry my grammar sux, but I wud try to talk to him. I dont want people thinking im a violent person.

Well, I guess what you did was understandable. Try to be around your other friends and explain to them that you did what you did in an uncontrolable way. If they are your friends, they will eventualy understand. Or you can just prove yourself superior and tell John you are sorry, shake hands with him and back off from him during sometime, untill he realizes what he did was a stupid mistake.

If it was that sudden he said it to me, probably aim to fight him and break something so he knows who he is mouthing off to.

I normally don't encourage or like violence, but what he said was messed up in so many ways. I honestly don't know how I'd react in a situation like that.

[Cygnus]

There is nothing that someone could tell me (that I know of) that would make me kill whoever said that, I learned to control my rage long ago.

[SkootuGurl]

Your reaction was understandable, since it's obviously an extremely emotional subject, but part of becoming an adult is learning how to control emotional urges.

The best thing you could do now is apologize to the guy and tell him it was wrong of you to get violent as a result of verbal provocation, but also tell him that what he did was unacceptable and that if he continues to say things like that to you then your friendship will end.
