She fucked around and found out.

I was bullied at school for a long time. I told my bully to stop, but of course he didn't. He even bullied me during class and I couldn't pay attention even if I wanted to. One day I snapped and punched him in the face. Only once, but hard. He ran out of the classroom with a bloody nose, his best friend had to mop the floor in the corridor. He wasn't seriously hurt. No one was mad about the incident, not even the teacher. They knew and understood what I went through. The bullying stopped and we got along quite well after that.

I hate violence and this was a last resort, but some people have to learn the hard way.

Mate. I wish i did that to the kids who kicked my chair in class.

I'm actually pretty disgusted at what teachers let kids get away with. You stood up to some dickhead. Be proud of yourself for not taking it.

Unfortunately, the principal is a bit like the HR departments that you'll come across later in life. They're there to protect the institution from you, not to protect you from anything.

I can't condone your actions because resorting to violence is generally not the best solution. I'm not going to condemn them either. Your teacher should have been paying enough attention to the class to notice you telling the other student to stop the first time and intervene at that point.

As for your parents, emotions are high in the immediate aftermath of something like this. If they are the kind of people who are willing to listen when they're calmer, talk to them over the weekend and explain what happened as calmly as you can. Explain that the teacher didn't notice and intervene when you asked the other student to stop initially.

That all said, you stood up for yourself and made it clear you're not an easy target for their BS. Hopefully, because of that, they'll leave you alone in the future.

It kinda sounds like they FU by assuming the wrong intent. Maybe they're having real problems or maybe they just don't know how to have a friendly conversation. Seems so weird to be upset about that.

  1. She specifically said the kicking hurt, so yes return pain with pain it's the only thing bullies understand. Crying to teacher isn't going to do anything but maybe a small temporary reprieve.

  2. I don't know what school you went to but unless you are in the front row there is nowhere to meaningfully move your desk to since they are crammed in rows.

  3. Kicking a students chair repeatedly to the level it hurts and refusing to stop is absolutely be suspendable. Or at a minimum a week's in school suspension or detention.
