Today, I got suspended from my high school for finally sticking up for myself and punching the bully who has been tormenting me daily since the 4th grade. MMT

So you fight his emotional violence with actual violence. Way to beat him with his own club.

@Daxx Nowhere does it say that it was purely emotional bullying. Also emotional bullying can be just has hurtful as the physical, especially after so many years.

What you did was a knee-jerk reaction to being tormented for years, his torment was a cruel, deliberately, you, at last, stuck up for yourself and let him know you won't take it anymore. Good for you. Don't make a habit of going around punching bullies and I think this is one suspension that will be well worth it.

There's gonna be god knows how many people saying god knows how many things about this, but there's really only one thing you need to remember. You did good, lad. Never forget that.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I was being serious. Bullies need to be slapped. Even the ones who are as "emotionally damaged" as the people they're making fun of. I actually think that if parents took a stand and took up their lack of parenting like they should be doing, bullies wouldn't be as much of a problem. But if you can't fix the problem, slap some tape on it and walk away until it bleeds again, right ?
