That is most definitely abuse and you sure don't have to take a day of it, Rose.
I am sitting here cheering you on because I'm so darn proud of you for having the courage to do this. And look at the bright side for him too...he's getting some pretty valuable lessons here. The school will no longer put up with his bullying, you will no longer put up with his bullying and sooner or later he's going to find himself alone and realize that it's all on him for his bad behaviour.
Don't even ask me what I think of the girlfriend from hell

Love you Rose, you're an amazing lady.
Hugs
