These situations taught me there's no reason in holding back, you're going to get in trouble for doing the right thing. May as well really earn that punishment. I can't even imagine trying to deal with your bully in the age where everyone has a pocket video recorder. Make a statement I say.

That's what schools with zero tolerance policies teach children: hit the bully with extreme prejudice as you're punished anyway even for defending.
