Well I guess im old fashioned but not only did it boost my confidence but in reality it made me more of a man. I told him that I was sick of this and to meet me after school. We met and i punch him and he kicked the shiz outta me. But from that day on I was proud of not myself and my bully respected me more for it he still annoyed me but within reason. I am learning how to box and trust me it made me happy knowing that I had courage and the strength to stand up for myself. I mean of course it could fail but almost every thing they tell you could fail too.
But then the school, being stupid as they usually are, will blame both of you for fighting. They care not about who started it. If you are male, they'll make the sexist assumption that "boys will be boys". If you are female, they will doubt that either girl could inflict harm upon another.
I had a bully in high school that called me faggot, homo, every homophobic slur under the sun. One day in physics class he was being especially aggressive and got extremely close to my face, close enough that I could pucker my lips and kiss him. So I stabbed him in the thigh with a pair of scissors and told him to tell all his buddies the homo did that and I will make him find out if i am gay.
He didn't just verbally assault me. He harassed me for 3 years and the administration of the school did nothing about it. He would follow me around school, fill my backpack with water and soda, pants me, shove gum in my locker lock. I eventually snapped. It wasn't my proudest moment, but I had had enough of it.
They were there. We were doing a project in class, he got right up in my face and stayed there for about 10 minutes. I tried to ignore him, but I finally snapped. It was just the point of the scissors and the teacher was out of the room. Like I said, not my proudest moment, but I didn't have any trouble with him afterwards. That's not to say that somebody being bullied should escalate the situation because the bully could always escalate it even more.
You were lucky you didn't hit an artery.
But I'm not gonna harass you for snapping, you're only human.
You made a stand, and you got a taste of empathy.
