    We've had 5 fights in the space of two weeks, people are gonna get suspended, I'm pretty certain. All because people don't know how to handle bullying.

    Every. Single. Fight. Was over either a Guy/Girl. Or because "He insulted my mother!" I sometimes wonder if I really am in High school or not.

    Problem is, how do you deal with adults bullying you. That's exactly what I went through up until I entered college. You need to be verbal in that instance immediately. If an adult tried to push you around, the best thing you can do is shame them publicly. One thing that works is to say 'you must be really hurting on the inside to say such hurtful things' or 'it's a shame your parents never taught you better manners and how to be nice to people' the younger you are, the better it works at shaming them. I wasn't really bullied by kids my own age. If fact, most of the kids that were considered 'trouble' or 'bullies' were the kids that I was friends. Most of the adults though made fun of me for how I looked, called me names, called me stupid and punished me for being a free thinker. Luckily my mother was so supportive of me and called them out on their behavior too.
    Teachers/adults may be about to send you to detention or punish you, but your voicing your outrage is the only thing that will make them think twice about picking on you or someone else.
