I was getting bullied for my sexuality for months on end, got told they couldn’t do anything because it was “just his opinion.” Finally fought back and got punished instantly.

I’m a fully grown adult and still don’t regret it.

Yeah same. Was harassed and bullied by this one girl for months, she'd follow me around and keep on pestering me about the way I look and am.

One day, when she was following me around in the hallway and poking me, talking shit, blocking my way and all that I finally turned around and pushed her away from me. She fell on her ass and I was punished for my "violence". I touched her once. I was also made to apologize to her.

I saw this person in a bar as a adult once, she came up to me asking for forgiveness for being a shitty person back then. I told her that it isn't my job to make her feel better about it and asked her to leave me alone.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s that surprising that the myth of “mutual abuse” is that prevalent in society when schools pretty much normalise it from youth.

Absolutely, had not thought of that. Checks out completely.
