[quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation in 6th grade.

The girl had hit puberty and towered over me and was torturing me almost daily - her specific thing was digging her nails into my neck and side when the teacher wasn't looking and teasing me about it.

I'd been bullied a bit and had worked with my Dad to learn to take care of myself - we had a punching bag at home and gloves and spent time working on basic boxing moves and self defense.

I warned this girl for weeks that I was going to hit her if she didn't leave me alone but she teased me that I didn't have the courage.

Finally one day she was behind me and had her nails in my neck and would not let go so I spun and absolutely decked her on the jaw and staggered her.

She didn't stop crying the rest of the day but refused to tell the teacher why she was upset.

She never touched me or otherwise bothered me again.

I felt bad about it at the time and still feel bad about it but if you went to a teacher with your problems where I went to school it always made it worse so I'm not sure what my alternative was except to tolerate the abuse.

For what it is worth I ran into her at a speech meet my junior year of high school and she could not have been friendlier to me and chatted all day.  And didn't appear to have grown another inch after 6th grade - she was maybe 5'3"![/quote]
