he didn't resort to violence, the bullies resorted to violence. they could have just teased him and whatnot but they hit him first. if someone teases me i will think twice about hitting them, but if they hit me then i'll be hitting them back immediately. i can see why someone would be upset because he used a pencil, but imo if he just fought back without the pencil then no one should be upset.

I think stabbing someone in the face with a pencil is resorting to violence. In fact, I know it is.
The bully is just a kid too. All 12 year old kids are in the first levels of moral development. They make moral decisions based on things other than the well being of other people, so none are better people than others. All the bully needed was to grow up. I'm sure he'll feel remorse later on in life. Now he has a permanent scar on his face. He's a kid, they are learning how to live. He's learned that if you bully someone you'll get hurt, instead of if you bully someone you are hurting that person.
