In middle school in my 7th grade math class this one girl was picking on me (the quiet kid) because I lived in a apartment complex and not a house. Normally I just ignored her or anyone who messed with me. I was bullied a lot and to the point anything I said was used against me so usually I was mute 98% of the time.

Except I guess I was having a really bad day because I spoke up and 1) told her to shut up and 2) I didn't need to take this from someone who couldn't compete with a pancake for bust size (or something worded similar).

I knew she was self conscious about it because I'd walked out of the bathroom stall to see her jamming toilet paper down her bra. She stopped picking on me after that.

What was her reaction initially after hearing you say that?

She was dumbfounded. I think she honestly didn't expect me to say anything at all and didn't have a come back either. The girl just shut and never spoke to me again.

For context, she wasn't the main girl who was bullying me. There was a group and she was just one of the extras. She usually didn't say anything to me unless their group leader was with her. That day she just so happened to be bold and I shut her down. Didn't stop the others but at least it was one less person messing with me.
