I had a similar bullying situation in middle school. It only ended when I stabbed my bully in the stomach with a sharpened pencil when the teacher wasn't looking.

As far as I know, it was a pretty minor wound, because he just slunk off back to his desk and never said a word to me or hit me ever again. I had actually brought a pen knife with me a couple of days in a row, thinking I might use that, but opted for the sharpened pencil and, boy, I'm glad I did. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I'd actually done permanent damage to him, gotten caught, etc.

There's only so much a kid can take and he/she doesn't really have the cognitive skills to think through all of the consequences of his or her actions. Anyways, I just thought I'd share.

Thanks. Yeah, it was almost two decades ago and he was my one and only bully. The kid had some mental problems that came more to light in high school, so I just started feeling bad for him after that.
