First, a rumored bar fight involving Mischa Barton, and now Miss England? Whatever happened to sweet and demure?
Rachel Christie, the reigning Miss England, has to give up her crown and withdraw from the Miss World competition which will be held in South Africa next month because of an alleged bar brawl earlier in the week with another beauty queen, one Sara Beverley Jones (Miss Manchester).
As someone who has thrown a punch (or two) back in the day, I'm no one to judge, so I shall refrain. Did you get into physical fights with other girls when you were younger, or have you ever gotten into a brawl with another woman?

My Gods, no! Never even close.
I did kick a bully in the face once when I was 12. It got him to leave me alone. It also taught me that sometimes, you have to stand up to someone - because ignoring them doesn't always work.
12 words: Elizabeth Lambert.
2I have never even been close to getting in a fight. I don't really see a point in fighting.
Philly - I just saw a clip of her this morning, when she pulled that girls hair I could almost feel the girls pain.
3Once, when I was in 6th grade. My friend got mad and shoved some snow in my face; I waited until she turned around and then tackled her. Within 15 minutes, we were BFFs again and sipping cocoa in her living room, lol.
4no kidding Elizabeth Lambert!
5I got in a fight when I was 6 or so. I still choose "no". It was a girly slap fest. That fight did not count.
Sort-of. 2nd grade thru 10th this one girl bullied me relentlessly. In 2nd grade she called my dad a nerd, and being a big daddy's girl, I choked her. Not my best moment. But the bullying continued...until high school when I finally realized how much taller I was than her, so I threatened physical violence and that finally stopped the bullying. My dad's a therapist, so I'll almost always want to talk things out, but...some people don't respond to nice calm conversations.
6I was at a concert with some girlfriends this spring and I was wearing a hot pink wig for fun, and walked by some chick who basically picked it up off my head just to mess with me. I turned and looked at her and threw my drink in her face.
in hindsight, I shouldn't have wasted the alcohol....
7I don't approve of physical conflict, Mamacita, but have to admit that's some awesome chutzpah! What did she do?
8I loved it when they fought on Dynasty sometimes. I liked that show.
9SKG, I walked away and started panicking... I thought "omg she is going to come hit me or something, and I can't handle that....." Luckily I ended it. to this day I do not know what came over me, but weirdly I do take away a feeling of "ok... you are not a confrontational or violent person.... but this was a weird rush.... know that you had that one experience, know the feeling, and don't do it again"
10Yeah, I'm not one for physical confrontation or shows that glorify it; never have been.
11I can seriously relate. That's exactly how I felt when I kicked the bully when I was 12. I was really worried he would punch me back, and I didn't want physical violence. It scared me to have lost control, and I felt guilty. Unfortunately, he did punch me back - but it also set up a boundary with him. It was the last time he ever talked to me.
12exactly, it was a "wow... didn't think I could or would do that!" moment.
13Not with girls but boys when I was younger.
14Yeah, with an ex-best friend. Very very ugly bff break up haha.
But oh well. The only thing I regret is not getting my Disney movies back from her, but even if I had them now I probably wouldn't enjoy 'em anyway, after being in
her possession for so long.
15Yeah a few times in High school but when it was all said and done it was catty girl drama. I was arrested my senior year for fighting and that was a HuGE wake up check.
16Yeah, I did!! Getting arrested put an end to it.
17I have as a kid. I'm normally a very tolerant, but sarcastic person. I preferred to use it, along with a death glare, as a tool, to back off most of the idiots who messed with me. They usually left me alone, but one of the girls in my 6th grade class was jealous of a friendship with a girl she wanted to herself. We were waiting in line to go back in after lunch and she walked up and smacked me hard enough to make me stagger, in the forehead and said something like, oh just kidding...! It was the first and only time i fought back, all it took was a kick to put her out of my personal space and a very firm warning not to ever lay a hand on me. Curiously, she didn't tell anyone but I always had a strong morality, so I admitted it myself.
18Yes. I got in 2 fights when I was in middle school. It's not something I would do these days though unless I was very angry and couldn't control myself.
19Not with another girl. But with a boy or..two..maybe 3. Then again I was so young..around 12.
20yes, last summer with a woman who started f**king with me over stupidity. i don't think she thought i would fight back because she was twice my size. she got arrested for assault and recently plead guilty to disorderly conduct.
21Yes, lol jk
22Other than a few little hits here and there with my sister, no.
23Never physically fought anyone except in martial arts sparring matches, and even then it was always guys, hehe.
24I almost did... in high school I found out my best friend had been having sex with my ex-boyfriend (who she knew I still liked) I walked up to her so ready to have it out, but I chickened out and just called her a wh*re haha.
25I have never gotten in a fight before, because I'm too passive. There were times I imagined getting in a fight but I always chickened out. If I had to defend myself, I'm going have throw down then.
26Yea high school daze I can share a few stories but none in recent...Well nevermind
27yes i've fought boys and girls, men and women, i'm not a violent person, but i have no problem fighting if you get me angry enough or keep getting my face with stupidity. leave me alone means just that and i only say it once, maybe twice if i like you.
28yes I did!
29never physically (just with my sister) but plenty of times verbally. There are just way too many idiots out there.
30I did once with my sister. My dad had just left for Iraq and my mom had an emotional breakdown, so I was basically doing all the stuff both parents should do at 14. When my sister told me to F*** off one day when I asked her to help, I kind of lost it. All I remember is a red haze coming over my vision and then me choking her on the floor. That scared the crap out of me and I walked away shaking. Not proud of it, but it happened.
31Yeah, a bad bff/roommate break up. I've gotten into quite a few verbal fights but usually both parties are too chicken to actually get physical:P It's sooo tacky and classless to "fight" someone but sometimes you just have to yell it out.
32I used to get into fights when I was younger like 8-12 years old. I was a tomboy and I fought with the boys all the time. Usually I could get a good kick or punch in and take off running and I was faster than all but two of the boys so I could safely run away.
The one time, this boy took my hula hoop. It was winter, there was like 2 feet of snow on the ground, the lake by my house was frozen over. No clue why we were playing with a hula hoop in winter. Well he took it and wouldn't give it back and I kept tugging to pull it free - he was on one side, I was on the other. And I maneuvered it so that I could push him into the frozen lake. I ran home and told my mom what I'd done and his dad came knocking on our door to talk with my mom. I remember in classic white-trash fashion my mom was like - "well he should have gave her the hula hoop back" - I didn't even get in trouble. Hell even I knew then it was wrong - he could have drowned or frozen or something.
I used to get into fights at bars when I was younger, usually because my friend's were real b*tches and would start a fight and somebody would usually pull me into it even if I was trying to break it up. I absolutely hate physical violence and I try and avoid it at all costs.
