10 points for a straight answer?

Okay, so I was at school and this kid, Anthony, came up and asked if I was talking ****. (Which, I guess, I was) But, no threats were made, me and Anthony argued and eventually he said he was gonna beat my ****** ***. (Im straight) So we kept calling eachother names throughout the school year, and then my sisters friend told Nic, about what was going on, and Nic yelled at anthony for me. Nic told anthony that he would beat the **** out of him if he talked **** again. So then i got a p[hone call last night from one of anthonys friend and said he would come down from chicago and beat the **** out of me if i talked **** again. What should i do, fight, or back off. And he is a grade older than me and he is pretty big but not tough.
