@mommunism well in my case he had 2 friends but since i did it in the middle of the end of the day formation all the teachers saw me, of course they called my mom, but since i had told her about the bullying and she was the one who told me to talk to the teachers so she was aware of the whole thing, i was suspended for 1 week and when i came back the fucker i kicked never tried anything again, 1 of his friends told me i should watch out after classes but my mom came to pick me up, and she saw the dude and she called a teacher to witness the bullying, the dude was punished too and the 3rd friend stopped talking to both of them, after that he got better, and since then he has become my friend, dude is married with kids already.
All this shit went on when we were 16, sometimes u gotta kickback, they never expect that, they target ppl who wont fight back, so retaliating is a good ass choice, at least over here it is, i guess it depends of the lvl of the bullies
