Aside from the wrench I'd have to say thats the best advice I've seen you give.Toecutter wrote:Sounds like you'll need to throw in some "Tenchi Muyo" episodes for reference/advice.
If you want them to back off, I can give you plenty of pointers to not only annoy them, but to scare the shit out of them, making them leave the county!
As for reasoning with them, I don't know if that's an option. These girls sound like they're a few cans short of a six pack (no insult to you intended). For self defense, carry a 15", drop-forged steel crescent wrench. It's my preferred "anti-Mormon weapon".
If you are so concerned about handling the situation properly, I guess I can throw in some rational advice now. Do not go to the teacher first! They'll just fuck everything up, and make a big Zero-Tolerance case out of the issue. Instead, approach them, and tell them straight out what you think (note: do NOT tell them HOW YOU FEEL, because it will reveal weaknesses in your defenses, opening you up to a counterattack). People will give you more respect if you try to deal with just the parties involved, because you will come off as strong enough to not require a moderator, or other interference from third parties. This will not only give you practice for handling real-world situations (in which you can't act like a pussy, and leave it in others' hands), but it will convince them you've got plenty of backbone. Whether you are willing to defend yourself if they turn "Misery" on you is not the point, so much as this posturing convinces them you're willing to defend yourself if they go psycho.
The point is to treat them with respect, and deal with them like rational human beings. But at the same time, you have to take on the role of Alpha Male, whether passively or actively. You'd be surprised how many drug-dealers, gangmembers, and violent nutcases in my school didn't fuck with me, because I gave them the respect they deserved as human beings (not the respect upstanding citizens deserve, mind you, but just acknowledging they existed). Of course, all the normal people were more than content to push me around, and take on the role of bully (guess you can't have it both ways).
The point is, treat them with respect (acknowledge they're there by greeting them, small talk, etc), but when it comes down to confronting them, make your point strong and clear. Whatever happens, DO NOT BACK DOWN. You must be willing to take whatever they throw at you, and you're almost guaranteed success. Finally, a few days after the battle is won, then resort to concessions/negotiation. Invite them to hang out, etc. Your formally-conquered enemy will now not only respect you as a decisive, strong human being, but will admire your humanity and inner strength, just as Rommel and Patton were admired by their troops in the North Africa campaigns, the Battle of the Bulge, etc.
Your willingness to show compassion to your enemy, without showing weakness, will win these two girls over for sure, while amplifying your charisma at school (making it far more likely the girl you are interested in will be more interested in talking to you).
