See I wouldn't take it after 2 times I would have fought back, and I did (a black kid with a pony tail isn't well liked) fight back. You can only pull someones hair so many times till they get a fist to the face (or steal from me). Anyway I get in trouble when I fight back, but the bullies never get in trouble for it since it's boys will be boys crap. So guess what I had to do, cut hair I had for like 6 or 7 years and tried my hardest not to fight when the bullies still messed with me. So bullies suck and schools DO NOTHING to help the problem they just roll with it hoping nothing bad happens.
I was picked on all through school untill 4th year of academy when I hit the main antagonist with a science stool, before sending me to the year head my chemistry teacher said "I can't believe you didn't do that sooner!" The bullying stopped and my chemistry teacher gained 1000 points in my book, then I took up self defense as an extra curricular activity (taught by my chemistry teacher amazingly enough)
i went to a really small school and never had any problems like that... Prolly because i did everything, all of my electives were computer classes / free time spent on video games, trading cards, D&D so nerd. I was in just about every preforming group, choirs, band, marching band, show choir, plays/musicals so music geek. Also I played soccer and did throwing in track and field so kind of jock (i was goalie and being a thrower means I was lazy as hell). That was just normal for the school though everyone was involved in everything because if we weren't there wouldn't be anything.
The thing that I see here is a bout of anger a.k.a. a loaded weapon over a whole lot of toy hammers.The thing is,if the school fails to remove the problem,you have one thing left to do.Simply put,the law of the many will engulf the law of the few.Unless you can trump the support factors, maybe from teachers or if necessary to step outside the lines to actual power, then you can remove such things near instantaneously.
I hate people like that, those who think they are bigger or purposely victimize other for the sole sake of because they can or want,it may not as seem as serious as yours but someone walked by me today by me and just pushed a chaired right into me , knocked me over and when I talked to them to ask basically "wtf?" they said because they were bigger and better, adverse to the subject I argued against them ending with them being laughed out of the room and me left with a applause. But I think that some people need to step back and think; Hold on, im not better than anyone and to grow up. P.s I hope it gets better for you if it hasn't already P.s.s My story really happened
i personally think you handled that rather well, if people did that to me every day i would have snapped after like 3, and that would not have been pretty. that school system is broken, and good job for not sending any of them to the hospital man, goodness knows i would have (luckily people don't do things like that to me).
For the people saying that that doesn't happen in britian you are talking out your ass 
Just because you havn't experienced it personally doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
I was bullied for all 6 years of my academical life (from age 11 to 18) mainly because I am what would be called an "Easy target". I was not (and still am not) well built, I am intelligent, and I am fairly easy going. They bullied me for six years. It got so bad that in my last year at school I pretty much stopped going for six months. I am still amazed I was allowed to go back. I only had three friends in school, and by this time they had gone as well. It got so bad (Read: everyone in my year) that I was put off going to University. So there goes another year of my life spent looking for a job (which with the UK economy was not going to happen).
Now, a year on and I am at Uni, doing an incredibly nerdy course (computer animation) and learning Aikido. Soon to take up Archery (again) and Airsoft. However, they don't stop. I came home for christmas, and one of my bullies died in a climbing accident. They were all slagging me because I didn't go to his funeral. I told them to piss off, Its sad he died yes, but I am not going to be sad at the fact that a person who made six years of my life hell has died.
Anyway, the point I am trying to make is just to hang on mate. Karma tends to have a way of making things better.

Document. Take pictures of bruises, with timestamps. Every incident, write down and keep the photos attached in a safe place. (Don't take the notebook with you to school).
Start stacking up the evidence. Friends with cell phone video are good.
Report every incident to the school, and record their reaction and outcome of your reporting.
If nothing happens, or it gets worse, escalate to school super or the police. Or the press. Or legal action. Don't be whiny, but present your facts in a calm, controlled manner. Don't make threats. State the case.
Take a self defense class, but also learn conflict resolution, which is how to de-escalate a violent situation.
Talk is good. Talk is safe. No one gets hurt talking.

Em what happend to you sucks big time. I've had assholes in class but they can generally be dealt with by telling them to go and take a running jump. I've done my time in school and certainly we had people that had the piss taken out of them but never held down and beaten.WOPR said:
We also dont use the word 'jock', I can bearly even keep a straight face when I say it it so close to you what what like =P But I have to admit I have been wondering, is this 'jock' thing limited to America? Your school sports teams seem to be treated like very different to other people in the school. Sure we had sports teams who were treated better (mainly because they knew the teachers better) but I have never ever, ever met anybody even remotely like what your describing here. Its sort of sick, while it may be called boys being boys. I bet it was incredibally humiliating, made you feel like shit etc.... Wish I could help, honestly I do :'(
What are you up to now btw? Change school or are you still going to the same one?
Brass knuckle. Teeth. Repeat until problem solved. If the bitches cry, you don't know anything about it. If you get in trouble, sue for accounts of abuse, assault, harassment and, hell, prejudice. Defend from a counter by claims of self defense. Win.
They get away with it because in the eyes of anyone "normal" enough to get a position of power in a school, jocks are the more socially well-adjusted.So maybe, even subconsciously, in the right
I'm not sure because I'm a European. But don't make good football players a lot of money for the school? Isn't your answer there? The school wants to milk those players for as long as they can. Would this kind of behavior really be allowed if they were jocks from a sport that doesn't make tons of cash? You on the other hand, are just an expandable student. It's not how the world should be, but I'm not surprised that it is.
Owh and by the way you rock for attacking that quarterback. Seriously you can't let stuff like that just slide.
