When I was in kindergarten I broke a bullies nose and for that they wanted to hold me back a grade to separate us instead of punishing the racist homophonic bully in any way.
In 7th grade another kid ran up and started swinging on my way out the gate after school. Neither of us were competent fighters, so no serious blows were landed by anybody. But I still got suspended for being jumped because, in their exact words, "But what did you do to de-escalate the situation?"
I mean, did you even try meeting him half way, or did you go straight violence? /s
You did the right thing, even if you were born in the wrong world.
