If you run, your reputation is shot. And learn a cool fighting skill like Krav Maga at your narest YWCA or community college. If you know you can handle any situation, the morons wont mess with you.And who knows,......
Just be prepared to show it, at least once. Most people will leave the tough(er) people alone, but every once in a blue moon you may have to punch someone out because no matter how tough you are, they just wont back down. If you run, your reputation is shot. And learn a cool fighting skill like Krav Maga at your narest YWCA or community college. If you know you can handle any situation, the morons won't mess with you. And who knows, given these evil times it wouldn't hurt to know you can kick a** when you have to.
Good luck.

“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.”
— Raymond Chandler —
Why would you want to sink to their level? Even if it is trying to be scary and having a reputation as such, there is no need to sink that low. These people are obviously shallow and full of low self esteem to pick on you. If you can't just ignore it and walk away with them with your chin held high, then the next best thing would be to seek out another school or online schooling at home. But don't reduce yourself to their level because there is a bigger world out there than just high school and you don't want to go through that world trying to always react to way people talk to you or treat you.
Being scary isn't the solution. There is not always one key to fit the door. Its a famous expression which means the first solution think of isn't always the best think it through. I suggest not reacting . If you pick one others it just makes you worse so never stoop to that level. That's all I can say good luck Molly.
Just ignore everyone and make them think they're beneath you. That's very scary.
