Nothing is bad unless you think it's bad or it's going to suck. Having a positive outlook will change your life no matter the situation (unless your life is in danger...). I'm going to tell you now, in a verbal dispute physical attacks are never ever justified. The only time you should be punching someone/physically attacking them is in self defense or in defense of another human being.
Anyways good luck in high school! Your experiences are what YOU make of it. I've been through too much for my age but I don't let the past define me as a miserable human being. Have fun in high school because it's one of the few years you have left to be carefree! Stay gold Ponyboy
