    Which, sadly, these days is a one-way ticket to you being in the alternative school. With your bully. If the bully, who is probably a football or basketball player, even makes it to the principal’s office instead of being given the royal treatment for having a student oh so randomly attack him!

        Yeah, we used to fight all the time as kids, like really kick each other’s asses, bruses, blood. No one ever called anyone, the teachers just started dragging us by the ears to the bathroom to clean us up, that was it. Mom or dad asks what happened, I got into a fight, that was it.

        Maybe things weren’t taken as seriously cuz I don’t live in the US. Things were a lot different back then. Now, they’re more or less like in the US, everyone just wants to take legal action… which IMO just adds further trauma to the situation. It doesn’t actually solve anything. They’re kids, they fight, they make up, that’s the cycle.

        Maybe it’s also because we never had guns in schools. Even now, there hasn’t been a single incident regarding fire arms in schools.

      Still, he won’t fuck with you any more. Hurt him and he’ll leave you alone. That’s s basic principle with all animals in nature. If you put up a fight, you’re left alone.
