Have you ever been beaten up?

I've had a few scrapes in my time, but the worst beating I've ever had was when I was 17 when after a night out was attacked by a group of lads on my walk home. They didn't even mug me, just asked me for a cigarette then proceeded to punch me and then stamp on my head when I was on the floor.

Have you ever been attacked randomly or been beaten up?

    No only scraps at school which i usually cam out better in lol Nightclubs an pubs no. It might have helped most of the time me and friends went to the same club where a group of very tough Chinese guys hung out lol And we got on with them. They were cool as long as no one tried to mess with them which no one really did lol

    They would have stuck up for us if any one tried any shit too.

    So basically no , im lucky enough not to have been beaten up on nights out or any where.

    Where do you work, we are curious ?


    I have never been beaten up yet. However, I keep reminding myself to stop sticking my nose into other peoples business (arguments).

    Yeah I was jumped from behind by a gang of deranged drunk bints whilst out one night with friends. Thankfully two blokes walking passed dragged them off me and stopped them continually stomping on my head/face.

    There were two police men sat in a police car not 50ft away whilst it happened too. Didn't bat an eye lid.

    Suffered two black eyes. Broken wrist. Several nasty gashes to my head and a particularly nasty Slice along my arm. When I walked over to said police say there they said 'oh we'll never catch them now luv sorry' and carried on sitting on their arses.

    A handful of times, all in my teenage years. Wrong place at the wrong time in most of them. Mugged a couple of times too.

    yes coming home from school once . I was about 15 , i was with two of my mates and one lad came up to me asked if i knew so and so...i said, no, he said you do, he's behind this pub...stupidly i went with him! My friends just walked on. He beat the c++p out of me. I was winded and shocked, nose bleeding.
    I can only think its the way i looked because he didnt pick on my two friends, just me. I had long hair like you did in the 70s and had a baby face. Thats all i can think. I was skinny and weak too. Wish i knew then what i know now, i was stupid and naive. Really shook me up and sufffered in later life.
    Stupidly i took my mum up next day and she had a word with the bully!

    There is no such thing as the wrong place at the wrong time.

    You and everybody else should be able to be anywhere you want!

    Should.

    What's right and proper and what actually happens doesn't always match up.

    Thanks :)

    What's your input, apart from commenting pointlessly on mine?

    Almost, when I was a teenager. I had a falling out with someone who I thought was a friend and they followed me home with a couple of other people. I had to shut the door on their hand to prevent them coming into my house after me and doing some serious damage but they still managed to get me in the eye.

    It was incredibly traumatic, not least because I'd done not wrong.

    Several times (ex-husband). Trying to fight back was futile as a woman's strength rarely matches that of a bloke's. T**t!

    Only once badly, when I was managing a pub - I'd gone in on my night off to pick something up, and the landlord was having problems with a stag party refusing to pay for drinks while demanding more. Words were exchanged, and eventually the eight or nine heroes kicked the f**k out of me and my boss - I had a broken arm, broken ribs and a head so swollen and distorted that John Merrick described it as 'a bit much'. I got out of the trade a couple of years later, when I saw a similar incident except the attackers just didn't stop, and were quite literally trying to gouge out the eyes of their victims.

    F**k that. :o

    I was a few times at school, a couple of times by lads and maybe once by a girl. And when I was 17/18 I got mugged and beat up by three young lads.

    I haven't, but my boyfriend, later husband, was attacked by a group where someone asked him the time and they all tried to jump on him, there was even a girl there. He knew if he ended up on the ground they would have laid into him and he managed to stay upright and get away with just a sore face and a ripped jacket. My brother got roughed up a bit too one night on the way home having just left a burger van...got dragged some ways along the street until some kind soul managed to get a hold of him, got him into a taxi, asked him where he stayed and dropped him off at home.

    Twice. Both exes.

    Female colleague at work had been physically abused by her husband, who was then the subject of a restraining order. However, she agreed that he could return one Saturday to collect some of his things, but had to be there because she'd had the locks changed. Poor girl was terrified, so myself and another male colleague agreed to go round to her house early on the Saturday, and hang around until he'd gone. Her Dad was too frail and her brother is in America.

    He had the shock of his life when he came in and saw two burly blokes sitting on the sofa :kitty:

    She's a good egg and needed a helping hand. It was the least we could do. I'd actually seen the guy before, briefly, in the car park at work when he was waiting for her by her car, and smoking on our work premises, which you're not allowed to do. Got bad vibes from him then.

    Mugged once and assaulted quite a few times. But the only time that I have ever really been set upon it was by pigeons! blush:
