In the real world if someone shoves you or is physically agressive toward 
you, you have them arrested and they are likely facing a felony conviction.

The fact is you do NOT have to put up with bullies in the real world, nor 
should you be conditioned and jaded to do so.  School is such a completely 
artificial environment and is almost but not quite totally unlike the real 
world.
