Problems in college, that i basically want sorting out but i dont know how to...

am a 18 year old lad, and a while back i was out at a party, anyways this 1 lad who i didnt know whas there to. this lad said whats ur name, so i told him.

2 weeks later i see him at me college, and i wlaked past him, he shouted my name and i looked back and he turned round,

well anyways, its got to the point now where all of his mates are involved shouting my name when they simply dont want, and its really annoying me. when ever i go into the cafe and see them, they are shouting my name for no reason. (i havent actually said anything to the lads)

well at dinner time i go out to the shopping centre and there always there and they start once again, and its really annoying me.

i think its because am am a quiet lad.

during the last month, i got hold of this 1 lad who started it, and i told him to pack it in, and i hads words with him, and he said he would stop it. it was all quiet for about 2weeks when ever i seen him and his m8s.

during the last cuple of days they started it again and i cant be arsed with it. so i caught him on his own 2day, and he said it wasnt himit was his m8s so i told him to get his m8s to stop it.

later on today i was walking home and i seen them all inside the shopping centre and they were shouting it ONCE again, am really annoyed.

my dad + bro have told me to hit this 1 lad who started it all of because he got all of his m8s to start it off. and it was all his fault. which i have no problem with a 1 on 1 fight with him.

but because he knows a few lads and they mite jump in, thats the downfall. so bascially. i dont know what options to take. and whta options there are.

1 = get this lad on his own and have a fight.

2= ignore them - but i get wound up really easy.,.

anyhelp please people?

p.s i will fight if i need to....

thanks all

Fighting isn't normally the answer. Maybe try talking to them? If they see you're a normal guy they might stop. Besides, if you keep ignoring them they'll give up eventually, while fighting them will either result in you losing (painful) or them seeking revenge.

Don't start a fight. Be the bigger man.

Its obviously immature and to be honest I'd just laugh. I honestly would. It would make me crack up that someone can be that laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

I live in a pretty rough area of Leeds (student housing for you) and kids are always saying stupid things, however, they're immature. Its not like I blame them, they just need to grow up.

Don't worry about it. One day you'll wonder what you were worried about.

Ignore them. Tbh it doesn't matter how you feel inside as long as THEY don't think it bothers you, if that makes sense. They're only doing it to get a rise and if you don't react then they should go away. I hope so, anyway.

Completely agree with that. Year 10's at my School who I don't know say my name when I walk past, I just consider it an ego boost that they know who I am haha. Obviously you being wound up about it is encouraging them.

i agree but, as a human you can only take so much- and i think that so much is getting really close :frown:

i totally agree, fighting (me loosing) or the seeking revenge,

who's knows to be honest,

what if i sqaure up to one of them and if i win the fight every 1 mite go - ang on a minute ect.....

but its just hard to be honest with yas, :frown:

What these lads want is a reaction from you - if you dont give them one ( either fighting - NOT THE ANSWER AT ALL - or getting uptight in front of them ) then they win all the way. Its easy to say ignore them, but very hard to do I know, but its what you have to do mate. Try to find a mate to walk about with too, but DONT START A FIGHT whatever you do.
