There was far too much bullying going on in my day. Luckily for me, the main instigators left at the end of the Vth year.
I used my height & size to create an intimidating presence thereafter & corrected a few bullies lower down-no one was ever hit, either. It stopped a lot of it, but the school really was useless about it-boys will be boys etc.
Two of the main instigators of it towards me died before their 30th birthday & both from alcoholic poisoning. Maybe something scarred their lives, too.
