My mother used to beat me, until I was big enough to fight back, which I did. Guess which hurt me more?

Her abuse of me doesn't weigh on me nearly as much as mine of her, because in the latter I had a choice. So there you go.

We're not talking about parental or family abuse here. This is bullying, which is not the same thing. Being less bad, it admits of different solutions.
