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 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 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

Unfortunate coincidences
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 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

Wonky logic
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

Teenage riot
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

Evil will always win
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

In the end totally worth it. You won't really remember this detention but you will remember the tears of your enemy.

I really hate schools' approach to bullying or fighting. If a kid is getting beaten up and he throws one punch, hell, even if he doesn't but the bully bruises their knuckles on the poor kid, the school will suspend them. Instead of actually trying to resolve the issue or help the victim they just suspend everyone who involved. They can't even verbally defend themselves now without getting suspended. Great way to keep otherwise good kids out of trouble, just make it hard for them to get their lessons or work, make their collage applications look worse, and build a feels of resentment toward authority figures who are supposed to look out for them. We all know how well that ends. I say, if they're not guilty legally, don't kick them out. Whatever happened to the spirit of "Don't ever start a fight, but always be the one to end it" ?

I feel you, my elementary school principal did something similar and I am still being bullied even though I am now in almost 8th grade, superior to my classmates, and the event I am bullied for happened 4 years ago. I give you all my hugs and loves. I hope your principal relizes the mistake soon. Ps, have an adult talk about it with teachers.

Worth it though, right?

The real FML is him! This goes to show that some people are smart enough to fight back with words instead of fists! You should damn proud of yourself!

I would just flat-out refuse to go. I'd rack up more detention, probably, maybe even get suspended. But I would refuse to be punished for something of that sort and I would get anyone involved that I had to to fight it with me.

Hopefully the kid will leave you alone. Sry you got a detention out of this but didn't it feel good to stand your ground?

you might've got detention, but at least the bully will know you won't take his crap anymore.
