I had similar experiences in high school where I was bullied constantly but the only way I knew to deal with it was by fighting back aggressively (verbally and physically). It sometimes stopped them from bullying me more directly but usually ended with me getting in trouble and being labeled crazy.

This led to counselors and people telling me I had anger/emotional issues and I should just ignore the bullies. There's wisdom in ignoring haters and self-coping mechanisms but as a teenager in a forced social system it's not a great answer. This was the 90's.

I hope society/adults have better responses now but I doubt it.
