Lesson Overview

3.20 – When You’re Jumped and Fight Back: Being attacked is terrifying, and your instincts might tell you to hit back. But even then, the law looks closely at how far you go. Self-defense is only allowed if it’s reasonable and meant to stop harm, not seek revenge. Once the threat ends, continuing to fight can turn you into the aggressor. Police and courts study who had the chance to walk away. It’s unfair, but it’s reality. You can protect yourself without crossing the line by using quick actions to escape and call for help. Staying calm and clear afterward helps your story hold up. The law protects those who protect themselves—not those who lose control. Knowing the difference can keep your record clean and your future safe.
