Often times intervention can even make it worse, unfortunately. I was a victim back in school as well and when I tried reporting it, the teachers and staff didn't bother doing anything. When I got my parents involved and had them force the faculty to finally do something about it, the next day the kid bullying me just came up to me and said "did you really report me?" And all that did was just piss him off more and make things worse. I can only assume all they did was give him a talking to and a slap on the wrist. If someone had actually DONE something or gotten him in trouble with any sort of actual consequence, maybe he would have stopped for a little bit before continuing after eyes were off him? But since that never happened it's not like I'll ever actually know. In the end, I had to transfer schools just to get away. Shit like this is rampant everywhere, globally. I wish I had an answer, but instead all I can do is be sad about it.I see this across all sorts of genres in this art form and I just don't understand how it gets to that level everywhere. Like it has to happen enough that just about all of the readers can understand this and feel empathy. Yet I never understand how it gets this far before intervention. Do other students not care? Do teachers not care? Other school staff not care? Parents not care? Everyone who gets bullied isn't timid or insecure, sometimes a bully fucks around and finds out or pushes someone further than they are willing to take. So with how universal a trope this seems to be I'm always surprised with the lack of an intervention or violent reaction before the individual runs away from the place or hermitizes themselves.
Oh and even in the new school all that changed was that the person bullying me just had a different name and face. Away from one bully and right toward another.
