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 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

This is terrible advice. Witnesses are often the only protection one has when standing up to a bully. If you're absolutely certain the bully is pacifistic and won't hurt you, then fine, you can stand up to them alone. With some bullies, though, that puts you in physical danger. Also, most bullies will not be put off simply by you standing up to them. That will hurt their ego and make them want to assert themselves even more, often at your expense. So, OP, great job on standing up to someone bullying you, but it may not mark the end of the problem, so be cautious and never trade your safety and well-being for a chance to verbally show up the bully.

Also, I'm by no means saying you shouldn't stand up to a bully. It can have an immensely positive mental and emotional impact on you and it demonstrates remarkable courage, but it may not end the problem and may put you in a dangerous position,

Yeah, you gotta deal with it by kicking his ass, or getting a friend to kick his ass, either way gets the job done.

Don't worry, I speak idiot! ~Clears throat~ Ahem, he said: Hello, friend. What's going on, do you lack the courage to defend yourself, sir? Allow me to assist you in learning how to deal with such roughens. Find a firearm from the nearest retailer and go pull the trigger, thus committing man-slaughter. I am pleased to have given you such solid advice, please don't hesitate to call me after you have executed your tormentor. Goodbye. Sincerely, Ghetto Male.

Honestly, I think it's worth the detention. Who cares if you have to stay after school one day - you stood up for yourself, that's more important. Also, speaking as a teacher, we ARE there to help...you should let them (or one of them) know what's going on.
