I don't like the fact that if someone is told they should stand up for themselves, the result is negative either way. That's probably why a lot of people are afraid to stand up for themselves.

Besides, I don't think there's any other logical response at times. I can probably count the number of times that words would have saved me from bullying on one hand. There's a hierarchy to school and life in general and if you can't properly navigate it then you are at the bottom. And violence seems to be an integral part of the school hierarchy.
