Have you ever been bullied and what did you do about it?

I used to be bullied at school all the time. I was a very passive girl and never did anything about it, I just tried to stay out of their way. I told my mum about the ostracizing I got when I in grade 4 at primary school and she got the teacher to watch me and the teacher did not see anything so thought I was wrong. She told mum that I was always surrounded by people. Hmm yes I was. I wanted to be part of the group but the group was always being nasty. In high school it got worse but I never mentioned it to her after she did not believe me about primary school. That is until the day she found blood on my school uniform. A boy had stuck a pin in my back and I was not going to tell her about it but when she found the blood I had to. She made a big fuss a the school and he had to apologize. That did not help much at all although he did not try that again. I was still passive. At this point I had never fought back. Then one day they all ganged up on me in the classroom when the teacher was out of the room and I snapped. I fought back and I won. They were shocked that I fought back and claimed it was all a joke but they never bothered me again after that. Have you ever been bullied at school? If so what did you do about it?
