Was I in the wrong?
Basically, him and his mates have been having a go at me for months, theres about 8 of them, (power in numbers eh?) just following me around calling me names, throwing stuff at me, I'd call it bullying but as soon as you say that your classed as being weak. Its been pissing me off for ages, I did the logical thing and walked away, they followed, I ignored them, they come right to my face and piss me off for a laugh, what was I supposed to do, tell a teacher Year 7's were bullying me? All that would do is get them a light telling off, after which they'd do it again, only worse, plus I didnt know any names, so even that might not have happened.
So today, they started doing it again, calling my name from across the balcony repeatedly, so I thought "**** it, I've had enough." and proceeded to chase them, they all split up so I went after one in particular who had pissed me off alot, caught up behind him, got him round the neck and slammed him into a wall, and started hitting him round the back of the head (He didnt fight back, just tried to protect his face.) before one of his mates (Who hadnt actually been annoying) told me to lay off him, so I did. I had initially expected them to all jump on me but I guess they all decided it'd be better off for them to stay out of it.
The result? Well, he cried, everyone in Year 7 took his side, everyone in Year 10 took my side (The kids were generally annoying twats with no respect for anything.) I got called "sick in the head" for hitting a Year 7, (By a chav no less) and his flock of mates (Who didnt help him at all, real good mates...) came up to me, saying he was crying and that it was wrong, I mean what did they expect? Me to just take all their comments and bullying (I'll admit, it was basically bullying) in my stride? One of them even said "If we all battered you, I bet you'd cry." I simple said "Go on then." They shut up after that.
Now, punishment-wise, the teacher dealing with it understood my provokication and knew that group of kids were a pain, had a big go at the lad I hit and all his mates, and told me to just tell a teacher next time, and he'll take me round the forms so I can show him who, no names needed. I still dont have faith in the school system, so I dont know if I will.
A few of his mates are still doing it (A lot have stopped.) and Im going to tell someone that they arent stopping, and if nothing changes, well I guess if it builds up to that point again, I'll have to do it again, probably worse since they didnt seem to get the message this time.
Apologies for the long post, felt quite strongly about this, he is still viewed by some as "innocent" as he's younger, I swear some people would let kids off with murder because of their age.
