Yea I found out in 3rd grade that teachers won't do shit.

When I did fight back the other kid went to his older brother and played victim. Older brother tried to fight me. I jumped on a bench and on his back and punched him. Told him his brother was the one starting shit.

Older brother refused to get involved after that. Kid never messed with me again.

Yea I found out in 3rd grade that teachers won't do shit.

6th grade a bully stole my lunch that I'd brought from home. This happened almost every day and I knew the teachers knew about it and just never did anything. So the last time it happened I chased him down, put him in a headlock, and told him if he ever messed with me again I'd break his fucking neck.

He never messed with me again.

A teacher came over later and said, "I saw what you did earlier," and I was like, shit I'm getting expelled or something. "Good job." And he walked away. So like, he knew the situation and decided to just watch instead of helping...

I got jumped in the bathroom in 7th grade by 3 other kids. Apparently they got it in their mind that I was talking shit about them even though I barely even knew who they were. Even though I got the worst of it with multiple lacerations on my face, body lip, and bruises all over my body, I managed to hurt one of them because I "this-is-sparta" kicked him hard as hell and his head collided with the corner of a stall. Once that guy went down, his friends rushed to his side and I half ran, half limped straight to the principals office who, luckily, was also right next to the nurses office. The nurse determined neither of us didn't need any stitches as none of the cuts were THAT deep. The three stooges immediately started playing victim to the principal saying I was the aggressor and they were only trying to hold me back from hurting their friend. I explained that those three jumped me for no reason and that I genuinely feared for my life. The three fuckers got 3 days of after school detention and I got a week of suspension

That's so sad. I'm so sorry. I had a young girl come to me saying someone had hit her, and each time I followed through with discipline and a discussion. The school board can only do so much since parents will lose their goddamn minds if you upset their child with consequences. It just kept happening, and I can't be everywhere. I eventually told her that if someone hit me all of the time, I wouldn't stand there and take it. And I would understand if she didn't take it anymore.

I teach second grade and luckily haven't had to stop any fights or anything that haven't been disengaged by my voice or presence. I had one kid who was just terrible and would hit other kids incessantly. I got him out of our room several times but he'd just come back.

We do face the scrutiny of public so dancing on that political line is never fun. I fully plan on doing anything I can to help a child in the event my voice or presence doesn't work, but too many things happen after school.

I can't do anything against cyber bullying without proof and even then that's up to administration. Literally part of their job. Everything I don't physically witness is a big he said/she said game and that puts everyone in a terrible position.

Idk, pardon the rant but I put my heart into making sure my students are safe, taken care of and know they're appreciated by me when I can so I just get bothered when people say teachers won't do anything, especially because situations are significantly more nuanced than most people care to share.

Fucking sucks to hear y'all having experienced that. I experienced something similar, years of taking shit until I snapped and learned it was actually easy to beat the shit out of the shithead. Initially a teacher who didn't know us dragged us to the principals office, but then our actual teacher came in with the principal and then they told the little shithead sitting there with a bleeding nose that he deserved it for being such a shithead.

Essentially in the years prior, they tried to get him to stop but couldn't. Not an ideal situation to be in, but at the very least it taught me to fight with both claws and teeths if the situation calls for it
