I had a similar experience in school. Was bullied for being a nerd, but I would happily fight ten kids at once. And win. Teachers got worried. Sending beaten-up bullies home made it obv. they weren't doing their jobs. So they blamed me for it. Made a story about "anger issues".

Like, a group of boys was ganging up on me and saying really aggressive sexual things while I tried to paint and because I didn’t feel bad and told them to fuck off, it was considered even.

Well, maybe. Mostly I just got too mad to be scared. Kids are pretty resilient and (thankfully) pretty ineffective at violence! Even large brawls are still unlikely to cause much injury unless kids have been trained. But when you're not that angry, getting punched is scary!
