Q: If I'm 13, and a 40 year old woman got into my face threatening me can I hit her and if I did what would happen
I hit her son with a pillow so she got into me and my friends face threatening us
A:
If you hit her that is referred to as battery. It is a crime. You would likely be arrested and taken to juvenile detention. (Sometimes called kid jail).
I do not condone the actions of the lady but your actions have consequences both positive and negative.
Hopefully you did not hit her, but you left that part of the story out.
Jonathan Blecher agrees with this answer
A: No, you can't hit her. What are you 13?
