Hello,
I am a Teenager and in the past year something happened that really shocked me. I was out drinking with some friends at a public bench at some cornfields. There was also a brdige near it. We drank some beer and everything was cool. Suddenly some guys appeared. I did know some of them, but jsut from seeing. Suddenly some of them came to us and said that we shoudl shut up and stop offending them, but the funny thing was we didnt even talk to them before. So we didn´t care and chilled maybe one our more at the bench. Suddenly 8 or so guys appeared, screaming at us and stuff. I stand up and asked what they want and then he punshed me in the face and said i shoudl sit down if i wont get pnched anymore so i did that, but they did not stop punching us all. We took our stuff as fast as we could and run away. It wasn´t that hard, not that big injuries, but one of us wen to the hospital, because he did not hear on his one ear. He took medicaments for two weeks and the doctors said that he was lucky that he was not numb. After this happened we did not care that much about these idiots, we just moved on with our lives. Three month later at a public event he saw me again. He ran to me and said that he wants a one vs. one duel with me, I just said no and that he should go away so he did. I went the other way, but maybe 1 minute later he came back with 10 or more friends, i don´t really remember. One of his friends gave me a headbutt and then they build a circle around me and insulted me and stuff. Luckyly his brother came and told them to go away, so they did. I was talking to his brother, he was like a normal person and not such an asshole, that´s what i first thought, but then he told me to don´t annoy his brother and stuff like that, like i was the offender. I want home after this happened. Maybe 2 weeks later a friend of mine who knows him got a text from him that he wants my number and stuff. He did not gave him my number but then he wanted to punch my friend. Later he calmed down and did not like he said. After that i went to the police with my friend who were also punched at the first incident. He got a "display for aggravated assault" (hopefully i spelled that right). I was so afraif to meet him that i stayed at home, didn´t go to public events and began to drink much alcohol at home. I was so shocked because i was never beaten up before.. It was my first time (haha for some fun in the post^^). Now while im writing this the incident happend more or less exactly 1 year ago and I am still afraid. I got a letter from the judgement. They said that they got the incident and that we will soon recieve summons (or is it called subpoena?), but nothing happened so far and i recieved the letter 5 month ago..
It isn´t like i could punch him, he is smaller then me, but at first i don´t want to punch people. When the incident happened i just stand there and my body won´t move, i tryed to do it with words and make them chill. Seccond he talks about 1 vs. 1 but never comes alone, everytime he has friends behind his back and mine won´t fight, because they think just like me. He is ruining my life or I let him ruin my life and I DON´T WANT THAT! But how do i solve this problem? He is a drug adddict, he coudl easily get a knife or something and kill me, I am really afraid.. I think fighting is dumb and he is and idiot who will never reach something in his life, but for know, as a teenager he ruins everyones life and his own, but that none of my buissness.
So my question to you guys who read this long post is: How shoild i handle this situation? Should i go out and just don´t care about him anymore? Or maybe should i stay inside or don´t go to public event where he MIGHT be? Or do you guys have a different idea? Please help me..!

Sorry for my more or less bad english in this post.
Greeting from Germany and thanks for your help :)

well sorry took long for me to reply, i think the best way is do it the dollars way: live your life as normal as possible and avoid trouble by avoiding what causes them (avoid that child-like person) and live freely if you happen to meet him again, just keep walking like its nothing, but if he follows you should run away and not try to defend yourself by fighting because violence is never an answer. -it's not my style of solving problems that is- anyway make sure to eat enough sugar everyday you plan to go out because you might need that to run away
