Oh my God! I hope they didn't damage your brain! That is pretty serious.
Yeah, I've had the luck to get rid most of the bullies and I don't get bullied so much any more! It was hard at first since I was a loner, but it's great for you since you show them you aren't a softy! Don't let them see weaknesses, and I'm sure you're having a great time reacting to their expressions! XD this girl got real bitchy with me, but I figured out to just ignore her, which angered her and wanted to pick up a fight but a teacher came so ha to her!
I'll probably use the method like you did to help yourself against bullies! I'll try to laugh it off, that'll probably work. Thanks so much! :-)
