there was a chick fight at school today

I might agree if you hadn't included that principal or teacher bit.

Most fighting can be avoided, but "finding an adult" isn't always an option in real life. Sometimes in life you have to settle things before you have the time to find authority.

And degrading? Girls need to be able to defend themselves too. I'd say they should have more of a priority to defend themselves.

So far Spooner and Nathan are the only ones who seem to be able to tell the difference between grade school scraps and a fight.

If someone attacks you on the street, assume they're crazy and are going to beat you to death if they can't find a weapon first.
