Violence as a last resort does work. I was bullied constantly at school by one particular group of idiots because I was the lanky kid who was tall and could run fast. The last time he did it, I flipped, picked up a chair and put him in hospital with it. Yes it caused a load of drama and upset but no one at that school ever touched me again

As someone who was once a kid who tried to beat the fuck out of the other kids who were making my life a misery, I can say from experience that it only made things worse. They saw it as entertainment, like bear-baiting.
Violence really doesn't help, and it really doesn't help to learn that way of reacting to things when you're a kid, as it takes a lot of time and effort to unlearn a temper when you're older.
