Defending yourself from a bully in high school will get you suspended

Sad, but back in the day when had bullies pick on you and you couldn't fight back the coach took you aside and taught you boxing.
Then you may not have won, but the bully left you alone. No big deal!

Now its almost like they are trying to wussify our society.
Typically a bully will leave someone alone if you fight back due to they are all bark and no bite.
They want people to run or not to fight back due to they rule with loud bark..
I worked as a Prison guard on the floor in California when I first got out of school.
A few bullies would bark alot and try to scare other prisoners.
Once the prisoners fought back they got in line and shut up pretty quick.

They are not punishing the bully they are giving the bully power to go on with their action by punishing people for fighting back.
Maybe the people that made the rules got picked on alot and were not brave enough to get bullies to stop picking on them.
