That's interesting, the other way for me. I wish my parents would have taught me to fight back. At least for me it was only verbal rather than physical, but I wish someone had taught me to stand up straight and sneer. "Just ignore them" does shit all when your body language isn't.
And my mum talking to the school helped a bit, but the Christian values I was taught (despite not being one) helped not at all. Being kind doesn't have to involve forgetting yourself. It gets better.
