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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after years of torment and relentless harassment, I finally built up the courage to stand up to a bully. I got a detention for swearing at him. 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 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 fought back with words against a bully. He cried, and I got detention. 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 got my ass beat by some kid in my grade. The reason I was targeted? The superintendent, aka my idiot father, suspended him for defending himself in another fight. The kid told me it's not personal, he needed to prove a point that our school doesn't do shit about bullying, As much as I agree with him… FML
Today, I was suspended from school for “being involved in a fight.” The other girl beat me up while I didn't do anything to defend myself, for fear of getting in trouble. She got off scot free. FML
Today, a girl I've never met before came up to me and punched me in the face, because she wanted to get suspended. FML
Today, I stood up to the school bully in a fight. Rather than thank me, the whole school, including some of his victims, now treat me like a psycho. Apparently they tolerated him because of his terrible foster parents, so me hitting him was actually way out of line, and insensitive. How did I become the bad guy here? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You may have gotten suspended, but he now know what you can and will do. Don't see this entirely as a problem, as it may have been your solution.

Glad you stood up for yourself OP & put that bully in his place, 2yrs is a long time to put up with such non sense, Your school faculty needs to do a much better job intervening before situations like this escalate.

This is how I became a high school drop out. The "zero tolerance policy" turned out to mean zero tolerance for defending myself, when the school wouldn't, after months of sexual harassment and even physical abuse. It happened to 2 of my siblings at the same damn school. You shouldn't stop defending yourself at what you've already done. That bully wronged you, and the school wronged you. You should take it to the police, and maybe even the media. With a spotlight on them they're more likely to change. Schools are meant to nurture our minds and help us grow into adults fit for adulthood. You never know, maybe there have been more victims at your school that can't or won't stand up for themselves. If you go about it the right way, you could be helping a lot of people.

15 they won't change if you do that, they'll just hire a personal cop they can bribe.

OP, ik the situation, my friend was being bullied for years so he finally got recorded video evidence and he got expelled for recording without permission, schools are bullshit.

Unfortunately due to zero tolerance policies this is very common in schools, but the important thing is that they know you can and will fight back so hopefully your done being bothered

Give him a hard kick in the balls next time OP (but do it outside of school)

That could easily backfire on op. Some folks see a man kicking another man in the groin as a bitch move and could make OP a target for others.

Double standard, much ?!! Still good for you, you stood up for yourself and that will give that bully pause.

I imagine they hold you to a higher standard - they don't punish your bully because they've given up on him, but when you act out it's shocking. I've been in a similar situation. I know how powerless it can make you feel, but keep focused on your education, because violence can only get you so far.
