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.

Sorry you had to become another victim of reverse bullying. If you're parents are proud, then I'd think you'll be just fine.

You don't gut punch him. You punch him in the ******* mouth and knock his bitch ass out and maybe some teeth down his throat.

**** your school, op. At least you stood up for yourself. Hopefully that'll be the one and only time.

You may have gotten suspended, but you stood up for yourself and showed him you won't take it. Good job OP, hopefully he doesn't mess with you anymore!

Most of the time, teachers can't help with bullies. You did the right thing, and be prepared to do it again. You're no longer a victim. You've won a fight. There will be more bullies and you'll have to handle it the same way. Fighting will earn you respect. I suggest taking boxing lessons and getting on the wrestling team if you have one locally or your school has one. Guys on the wrestling team look out for each other. It's a bond similar to our soldiers. Wrestlers are the outcasts of the sports world, but its worth it. You'll have fun, grow friendships, and learn how to properly defend yourself.

This. At the least, you can threaten the school that you will be calling the police if the problem doesn't clear up. My friend used to get the shit beat out of him by 3+ other guys. When he came home with the bruises his mom would call the school angrily, but the bs she'd receive is "oh, boys are just being boys," "we haven't noticed anything," or my favorite "if he's getting beaten up, he probably did something to deserve it." Eventually she told them if he came home beaten up one more time, she'd be calling the police. And that is when the school actually stepped in.

You should take this to your school board. If they'll punish you for protecting yourself when they won't, then you are completely within your rights to take it to someone higher. And, if they won't do anything about it, then go to the media. Tell your story, gather allies, and start a movement to not just yourself but also future victims. So many schools have anti-violence policies but they don't have anything for bullies and they do absolutely nothing to stop them and they don't realize that it can have a major negative affect on the victims and it could cause a really negative mental outlook and affect their mental health to the point where they want to kill themselves. And it's only at that point that the schools care enough to actually speak up about the issue and be all "this could have been prevented had they just come to us." and it's really not okay. Bullying needs to be eliminated. Sorry you got in trouble for defending yourself, OP, especially while your bully goes free and unpunished.

I feel your pain as I went through the same thing back in high school. The left hook I gave to my bully far out weighed the school's punishment. My parents didn't punish me and were glad that I finally stood up for myself because the school turned a blind eye on bullied victims. Oddly enough we even became friends after that.
