i was bullied in the first year at secondrey school until one day i flipped and smashed his head against the toilet wall. the [zb] take was that when we got sent to the deputy heads office he threatened to punch me if i was caught fighting again 
need less to say it never happened again .
violence isn’t the answer but i don’t know what is ,the teachers have no powers .the kids arn’t stupid nowadays and they certanly no how to play the teachers because they get away with murder.
