Were you given a chance to tell your side of the story? You said your teacher only saw what you did, so I was wondering if the principal gave you a chance to explain that this wasn't some random attack.

Some people only learn when they get some sense slapped into them. "Fuck around and find out".

20 years ago I was bullied too. It stopped when I stopped being Mr Nice.

And no I didn't need violence ever after. Or ran into the law etc.

That probably made his semester lol

> “STOP PULLING MY HAIR GILBERT!!”

And then you broke your slate over his head.

Need to make a separate NSFW Assignment folder.

I know that they have to follow protocol, but they often do so at the expense of common sense. Someone kicks your chair, refuses to stop when asked, and continues kicking while laughing at you for trying to stop them, and you're supposed to act like it doesn't bother you? Kudos to those who are able to, but I also don't blame the ones who literally strike back.

That said, you can't just go around kicking and punching your way through life. It sounds as though OP knows this, I just want to clarify that I'm not saying that you need to knock the teeth out of everyone who looks at you sideways. It's in your best interest to learn how to handle difficult people. In some situations, ignoring them does work, and you get to preserve yourself mentally and physically. Sometimes, you just have to keep your mouth shut and let them learn on their own. And if they never learn, then, well, sucks to be them.

Edited for a missing word

There’s a lot of kids that like starting stuff at my school so I never really know when someone is gonna try messing with me.

No no no no no. You did not fuckup.

Fuck that.

I was bullied in school 20 years ago. It only stopped when I stopped being too nice.

Fuck that teacher for not noticing everything that went down before and not listening to you.

Yeah violence is wrong, but some people won't learn until they get some sense slapped into them.

I wonder how many other professors he showed it to.

"I have a folder on my computer where I store all of my assignments , and for some reason, I accidentally selected an NSFW document instead of my lab report. "

Which class was the furry porn an assignment for?

That sounds more like he was getting angry at the thought you being harmed or killed. I know it probably doesn't seem like that right now, but I think you should talk to him about it some time later.

Well, did you save the fish

I know that no one wants to be the one to say this, and principals don't want to be the ones to hear it, but it's the truth: she started it.

It’s not an either or situation OP. There has to be some other solutions for you. Her kicking your chair is totally not okay. And while I understand how upsetting that is, you assaulted this person. As an adult and depending on what state you reside in, this is a felony and can be a minimum of 1 year in prison plus a charge on your record for a person to person crime. So, as you only received the suspension, you were kinda fortunate in that regard. We can argue all day about bullies (and believe me, it’s not okay and that it is allowed in schools despite them professing a no tolerance policy is abhorrent). It doesn’t mean that you have to sit and ‘take it’ either.

So let’s look at it. What other options did you have? Could you tell her to stop loudly to get attention from others/adults around you? Could you have gotten up from your chair and moved? Could you have gotten up and told the teacher you needed to be excused?

I think that the additional options you can think up will help you in future. I think it’s something to discuss with your dad and school admin as well. They need to provide you a safe ‘out’ so to speak. If you get up and move and get in trouble, I would think that your dad would be okay with that choice. It’s really important to talk about it. I know that there seems to be a lot of people advocating hitting this person, but they’re not speaking in your best interest. Neither do they volunteer to sit in jail for you or pay your legal fees if this happens again or when you’re older.

Just one thing you have to think about is if you will be okay whenever she ends up in a new relationship. Would you be comfortable being around? You don't have to force yourself into a friendship if you feel uncomfortable.

Source? 😃

In school unfortunately you gotta snitch it's sad, but true.

Next time get up, walk behind her chair, and Spartan Kick the shit out of it. Bonus points for yelling "THIS IS SPARTA" as you do it.

You know, I'm all about respecting thy elders. However, sometimes thy elders need to be brought back to earth. Why don't you try and sit with him and ask him what it is that he would have done differently, aside from begging, since the approach you took wasn't the correct one? Me, personally, I see no other way.

Why? Should I have just let her keep kicking me

My father was fucking screaming at me.

Mine happened way back in the day when they didn’t bother with any of that sissy numbing shit. 🤪

thank you so much tho

no he didn't care at all about the car being damaged, he cared that i drove recklessly and caused an accident. he was glad i was safe but he was so mad that i had gone the wrong way and freaked out and made such a dumb mistake in a dangerous way.
