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

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 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 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 confronted my bully. Too bad it was at my high school reunion and he beat the shit out of me. 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 fought back with words against a bully. He cried, and I got detention. 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 bumped into a guy I bullied for years at a bar. He was actually cool and laughed about it, but my stupid drunk ass kept urging him to hit me because I felt bad about it. We went outside and he thrashed me. At least we're friends now, I guess… 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 bullied a kid at school, just so someone would talk to me. FML

you were sitting in a chair when you stood up to this bully?

I was bullied horribly, and you know what I did? Realized that grade school/high school is just a small part of my life that wouldn't matter later. And I was right. Two years into grad school, and I'm a perfectly functioning adult who understands that kids - gasp, surprise - aren't always the smartest or most empathetic bunch. I know it sucks. A lot. And I hated it while it was happening. But you have two choices - either be the bigger person and understand this won't matter forever, or be a bitter, obsessed person forever.

you need to realize that when dealing with a bully, they have certain fighting "rules" or "standards" that they follow by. or more generally, a technique. they think they're a boxer, throwing punches randomly, trying to block. what the smaller man must do versus the bigger man is realize that there are no rules. the only rule is, you must get the first hit in. if you don't, you will effectively lose. as #10 was saying, don't fight "fair" as there really is no such thing. how fair is a size and strength advantage? grab the ****** by his nuts and make him call you daddy in front of the whole class, then ask him if he's ever going to **** with you again.

Go and watch Karate Kid movies and then go back with your newly learnt skills and kick his ass.

Kick his ass jamie! Seriously, all you need is to go for a quick hit then quickly get out of there and wait for another opening.

Your first mistake was sitting; it's too passive. You should have stood to meet him eye to eye when you confronted him (and shanked him while you were at it).

Given that said bully could pick up and throw a chair with OP in it, I doubt "eye to eye" was an option

Three options that worked for me 1) fight him, even if you are going to lose, but fight real dirty. Like i mean to the point he needs ice on his crouch area for the next few days, missing hair from his head and cant see from an eye. 2) Tell the teachers, make them do something. If they don't option three. 3) Get the police involved. I am not sure what country you are from but in many bullying is a crime, (like Canada) But above all never back down keep doing something about it (short of going postal)

I'm telling you this as someone how used to pick on people when he was in high school, standing up to someone who is bigger and stronger than you on your own, in a "fair" fight is a good way to get your ass kicked. Even the odds by hitting the gym and playing sports. Having friends with you when you stand up to him is great and all, but if he comes back after your friends have left, he's probably going to want to remind you that you're the little fish in the pond.
