What learned was to fight back when no one was watching. No one believed the bully when they said I did it, and I got some payback.
I learned it the semi hard way to not fight back. I did it once and imediatly got "fucked" by the teacher. That I had complained to the teacher and even the principal didn't bother them. So instead of fighting back I let all the bad things I experienced burn into me to a point where I just wanted to kill myself. Holidays temporarily restored my will to live but it wasn't until 8th or 9th grade that stopped thinking about killing myself, since most bullies either dropped out or changed schools.
