I used to stay a school for lunch, while most of the bullies when home for lunch. I was fine for the first half of lunch as we were eating in our classrooms. It was after lunch when they made us go outside that I was vulnerable. The best solution I ever came up with was when my Mom gave me a watch for Christmas. With the watch I was able to leave school grounds (I used to go and hang out at a nearby University Campus) and come back just before school got back in. Simple technology.
Moving schools for grade 7 changed everything and I haven't been bullied since.

where did you go to public school?
Me? no real bullying, some threats because I was a smartass. even a real fight which got me hauled in front of the principal in grade 5.
High school was spent being too busy with multiple activities to worry about who was posturing around the school.
