This kid stole my iPhone today and ran off, I could catch up to him and he had three friends with him. I was on my own with my one friend who was too shocked to even chase the guy with me. Tomorrow I'm going to go find him with a few of my tougher friends, and we're first going to try to intimidate the guy into giving me my phone back, and if that doesn't work we'll have no choice but to beat the living hell out of him and his friends.
I'm not typically a violent person, and I haven't been in a fight in years. And I've never been in a premeditated fight. So I was just wondering how I should prepare mentally for the fight, so I don't get cold feet at the last minute, and I don't want to just stand back and watch my tougher friends beat them up.It'll give me a bad reputation and make me look weak, which will most definitely ensue retaliation. If you have any tips on how to prepare mentally (Or even physically), they'd be much appreciated.
If I hadn't mentioned it already, this is happening tomorrow.
Added (1). Going to a teacher or school administrator would only anger them more, rather than scare them. I'd end up being jumped later while walking home or in the hallway or whatever.
