Hey guys. If anyone's reading this, I have a slight...problem.

I am a high school student, and as I'm sure you're aware not everyone in high school wants total peace all of the time. There are a couple of dudes in my math class who want to start something, and I really don't want to get into it for a number of reasons.

I wear rockfibre (like steel toe but lighter) shoes to school. I resent that I cannot bring one of my knives to school without getting in trouble with the law (even if someone tries to convince me otherwise, I leave all my weapons at home unless war breaks out or something). These guys are in my math class, so there's no way to avoid them without skipping, which I have done on multiple occasions.

Anyway, the point is, how can I resolve this solution peacefully without anyone getting hurt?

It's a tough one. Kids at that age can be cruel and stupid for no apparent reason. However, you are always in control over your situation. You don't have to resort to their game. Violence is certainly not an answer and you don't need weapons or steel toe shoes to come out of it. Find the way to use your biggest muscle - your brain.
