I'm going 17 and there are some 14 year old boys trying to pick a fight with me. I know I'm supposed to be mature and not to be provoked, which I am. However, I really feel like teaching them a lesson, by my fists.
Thoughts?

I say don't fight with them, it's clearly what they want you to do. I'm not much older than you, but having been bullied through my whole childhood & a good part of my teen years what I've realized is that not everything deserves a reaction.
Plus if you fight them physically, it'll just look bad on you in the end. As you said you're much older (I know 3 years doesn't sound like a lot by itself, but the difference in emotional maturity between 14 and 17 is pretty big). Also from my experience, I've been able to hurt my bullies a lot worse with words, I guess because I could tell what their insecurities were.
I'd just tell them what you think of them, but let someone else be the person that snaps and "teaches them a lesson". Or maybe they'll just never learn their lesson, in which case they'll grow up being that asshole everyone dislikes. It's their own problem at that point.
