The other person wasnt just being annoying though. They were still kicking the op in the back, just because there was a small plastic barrier between her foot and the ops back, op said it was still painful. I agree that violence vs annoyance is uncalled for, but op was being kicked, asked them to stop kicking her and got laughed at.

the best thing against bullies is violence. Smack them as hard as you can. They are insecure people trying to pick on the easiest ones, so show the highest amount of resistance you can.

Violence can be a good thing if it's used for defensive purposes

I feel like that could lead to some dangerous escalations where you get jumped by them and their friends with potentially no one around to keep things going too far.

Likely would have been better to quietly try bring it up with the teacher, another student near you two (peer shame them), and failing that, plausible denial retaliation (get up from your seat but shove your chair back into their desk, into them, with a quick apology).

Sounds like your dad was just worried and in his relief mixed with fear he overreacted. Just talk to him. He will calm down and most likely apologize for overreacting. As a parent I have frequently overreacted and had to go back to my kids and apologize and tell them I was just worried and will try and do better. Parenting is hard. Accidents happen. Your dad will be better next time.

Alright, but in this case it ia a bit over the top. Hitting someone in the face is much more dangerous then many realise. Better aim for other body parts. I feel like to learn that your actions were wrong you have to be punished accordingly, otherwise it is easy to see yourself as victim of the other persons crazyness.
