Your experience sounds remarkably similar to mine. The teachers felt like they were coming from a different era if not a different universe from the rest of us. I was adult sized by 12 and an athlete so "fight back" worked against pretty much all girls and boys my own age, but once they hit junior high school and started dating boys in high school, what was I supposed to do against a 17-year-old boy, let alone a group of them? The teachers would just balk in disbelief that they would hit a girl, but yes, yes they fucking would if I laid a hand on their girlfriends. And the guy who put my buddy in the hospital was a boxer, whose dad was pretty clearly beating him. Just stand up for yourself, scrawny bookworm! It'll work just like it does in the movies! He's just afraid!

Luckily high school isn't compulsory here (I don't know if it is in the UK), hence the high school I went to was allow to adopt a zero tolerance policy and became (SHOCKINGLY) the top school in the district a few years after they did so.

Yeah, our equivalent is entirely voluntary and the change from secondary school to college (16-18) night and day. All the bullying literally just dissapeared over a single summer. Which was probably for the best, because people were getting to the point where they could seriously hurt each other, and we'd already had two kids put in hospital.

Which in retrospect is sort of insane, and it wasn't close to as bad as most of the other local schools. Some of them had multiple cases of kids getting nicked for fairly serious offences, and frequent cases of knives being brought into school.

Hi5 for an 'interesting' school history I guess, does make you wonder how different you'd be as a person without it.
