Today, I finally stood up to the guy who's been bullying me for the last 2 years. Even though he's been caught in the act several times, he never gets punished, so I figured I'd get away with gut-punching him. Nope. An hour later, I was suspended from school. FML
Today, I fought back with words against a bully. He cried, and I got detention. FML
Today, I finally stood up to a bully who had been messing with me for over a year. His response? He picked up the chair I was sitting in and threw me across the room. FML
Today, I finally stood up for myself and beat the crap out of a bully at school, as my father told me to do. The kid and I were called to the principal's office, along with our parents. Inside my father's smirk faded when he saw that the kid's mom was his boss. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML
Today, I finally confronted my bully. Too bad it was at my high school reunion and he beat the shit out of me. FML
Today, I finally had enough of my coworker mocking and misgendering my transgender daughter, so I screamed at him. I got written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks. He got praise from our boss for handling the situation with class. FML
Today, I finally worked up the nerve to quit my job after being tortured by my boss for months. My boss responded by throwing a hardcover textbook at me and hitting me in the face. FML
Today, I was in school when a guy grabbed my breast, so I swore at him and shoved him away. I got detention and he walked away unpunished. FML

Every time there's a post about bullying, someone in the comments insists that the solution is to fight the bully. Often, the commenter backs it up by saying it worked for them. But each bully, each victim, and each situation is different. Since the commenters seem to prefer anecdotal evidence, here

This reminds me of an incident from my childhood. The school Douchebag thought it would be funny to run up behind me and smack me over the back of the head with a plank of wood. I was given a detention and they called my mother as I sat in the detention room for exclaiming "What the F***!?" after he hit me. The teachers refused to believe that I had been attacked, even though I was so dizzy I couldn't stand upright. Bloody teachers, bunch of incompetent, whiny, lazy morons. For every good teacher who can actually teach and is fair in handling discipline; there's about 30 who bore the shit out of you and realise it's easier to punish the good student who did nothing wrong, that to try and go after the bully who's resistant to all forms of punishment.

You can stand up to him, but that doesn't mean swearing at him.

That's the school system for you. They won't do shit about the bully but they'll punish the kid that defends themselves. It's ****** up.
