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 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 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

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

Today, I finally had enough of my coworker mocking and misgendering my transgender daughter, so I screamed at him. I got written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks. He got praise from our boss for handling the situation with class. 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

Well, I don't exactly promote violence, but when it comes to dealing with bullies, I suggest you do as the Australians and drop the bullies on their heads.

I have so much respect for you. You did something I could never do. I hope you have friends for support, something I never had if I chose to stand up to bullies.

detention is a small price to pay for standing up for urself. and that 'run and tell the teacher' crap? its bs. itll only make u get bullied more. and if u have to fight a bully? even if u lose, u show em ur not gonna take sh** from no1. theyll seek other targets. take a stand, detention be damned

Same thing happened to me in yr 7, I beat up 4 guys and I got in trouble because they were smaller than me. I was 6ft tall and was told not to react to the bullying
