My situation, what's the smartest thing to do?

You can't always rely on violence to solve situations. I don't know about you, but if you fight, you would be suspended for a week and fail the quarter.

If it's self defense, and you do know how to handle yourself in a fight, then go for it. If you DO get suspended or get in trouble for fighting, then say it was for self defense. You can't get in trouble for defending yourself against a "bully" unless the principal is very stupid.

My best bet, would be to find a teacher or your parents and talk to them. Yeah you don't want to get them involved, but what are you going to do about the bully?

My suggestion is to contact an adult at first, and if nothing works then resort to self defense. Just make sure that you can handle the bully when you fight, because he'll get mad when he gets hit...
