Fights in my school are generally "uncommon", I use the term loosely. Most or rather, all of the fights in my school usually involve a few shoving, be generous a punch or two before either: 1. Both parties stop and stare at each other angrily before walking away 2. The fight is split up by wandering teachers who notice the huge amount of students gathering around a class cheering. (Yes, we cheer and "place bets" on who would win) 3. One of the "fighters" act like a complete Jack@ss and laugh and make jokes as if he's fighting an idiot after dodging or landing one blow before running off. (This really pisses me off, I mean fights aren't correct but would it kill someone to be serious about it?) Thats for fighting, if we were talking about shouting Chinese/Hokkien vulgarity and swinging of arms while boldly challenging fights, that would be another thing as its very common in our school. I personally find that as an act of coward and would rather prefer them to fight than loudly declare that you're correct. I myself have been in 2 or 3 fights. 2 was because the same guy was taunting me after being scolded by a teacher and another was after another guy kept slapping me in the face.
