Looking back on the years and years of bullying that went on in front of teachers who did nothing, I always wonder what they were thinking, and why I never asked them directly why they let that happen to me.
If you can, OP, talk directly to some authority figures, and don't feel bad about making them uncomfortable. Don't just say "he's hitting me" or "he's calling me names." Go look up some resources on emotional abuse, print them out/copy them, and highlight the parts that are relevant to you. Spread it around to your teachers, your deans, your principal. Make them explain why they let that happen to you, and why they feel it's your responsibility as an abuse victim to "sort it out."
There's this idea in the "adult world" that everything kids do to each other is harmless. It's not.
This is not your fault, and you shouldn't be responsible for making it go away, but there are things you can do to help yourself. Be a squeaky wheel if you can.
And remember, every time there's a violent incident people act like there were sooo many resources and other options for you. Go see if that's true. Ask them what you're supposed to do. Ask them what they expect of you.
Ask them if that's what they'd accept from their own friends and colleagues. Ask them if they'd accept a colleague talking to them that way, hitting them that way, touching them that inappropriate way. Wouldn't they speak up? Wouldn't they talk to police? Would they sue?

This is the best comment ever. I wish I'd read this in middle school.
