People need to get the hell off this "education" way of trying to solve things. It is ineffective. As for telling a teacher, you may as well transfer schools after doing it because it's only going to make things worse. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly in denial and it's time to stop.
Seeing as how it moved to the Speakeasy, I can make a serious reply.
I was bullied as a child when I was around 12-14 years old. I tried telling my teachers, however the situation got much worse. I was being constantly threatened for "snitching" and my supposed beatings only got worse over time. In the end, I had to stand up for myself and the only way to do that would be to fight back. Bullies don't attack you because they do it for fun, they do it because the person on the other side is being a "push over" or easy to mess with. An eye for an eye may not be the best solution for other situations, but granted that this is an environment where kids believe that "snitching" is a bad thing, self-defence might be the only viable option.
