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

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

Totally worth it! The school system isn't fair. So much for trying to stop bullying! Way to go for you, you stick up for yourself.

Hitting back works as well. If you get the first punch in when they aren't expecting it you can break their nose. They might win the fight and beat the crap out of you, but you can be sure they won't touch you again after that.

Not surprising. Despite all the buzz about bullying and all the 'new information' and all the anti-bullying policies schools profess to follow, most teachers and administrators still side with the bullies. They think being bullied is a self-inflicted wound and the bullies are the 'normal' kids trying to force the freaks to fall in line. Besides, it's easier to give a detention to the good kid than it is to take on the bully yourself. Now the asshole who gave the OP the detention can say, "I stopped it! I gave that kid a detention for making another kid cry" when he or she knows in their heart that they punished the victim and the real bully got off scot-free once again.

Detention for making a bully cry...definitely worth it.

That's the failure of the teachers union. All staff involved should have been fired.
