The normal sane reaction would be to take offence the first time it happens.
rather than bottle it up for years. Socio-paths don't seem to be able to do this and that's why they end up in prison and usually stay there for quite a long time.

Yes and no.
That works as an adult. Any school kid knows shit gets worse if you show that it gets to you.
According to the story this guy was 19 so should be capable of dealing with it, but my experience dealing with students is that a lot of them are basically still kids whatever they and the law may think.
Having said that, I grew out of serious revenge planning by the time I was 15 and just concentrated on the long game. You never have to see them again once you are out after all.

bullying can happen repeatedly over several years - starting from a young age - by groups of people who may be more emotionally intelligent.
To ask why a bullied child doesn't hit back or do something is like not understanding why a child abused at home finds it so difficult to say 'no' or tell someone about it.

I'm relieved I'm not a sociopath - according to those descriptions.
