@arthurpendragon Not a parent, but I work with teenagers, fwiw.
It's a good point. It needs challenging, but it's not always safe for those on the receiving end to do so at the time. Very situational, I think.
Prioritise safety. That's like the Prime Directive.
First step, imo, try and remove yourself from a situation you feel unsafe in, then report to the school and police.
Recording evidence, verbal/physical comebacks are cool, but safety takes precedence.
Revenge can always come later 😉
