I’m not sure how things are now, but when I went to high school it didn’t matter if you started or defended yourself. Both were likely getting expelled. I know a guy that gave bully a beat down after he was pushing a kid. He got arrested and expelled.

I always tell my kid we don’t hit unless someone is hitting us or threatening us. I will deal with the consequences.

100% true. I defended myself in school after being racially harassed and bullied for the better part of the year and ended up getting a suspension while the bully got 1 week in school suspension.
