I want to punch a 13 year old because he hit me with his football.
Why would you punch a young boy for playing around with you?
He needs to be punished so he doesn't try to hit me with his football again.
Having a 13 year old boy throw a football at you is no reason to punch him. It is not correct for you to assault anyone. Take the boy's actions into context, as he is only a boy who was playing with you.
I should've gone for a kick but I lost my temper. He's a jerk for sure.
I think it's worth it to just remove yourself from the situation and take a breather. Just because the football he was playing with hit you, doesn't mean you can beat him up. You can seriously hurt him, so how about just asking for an apology instead?
