I slapped a boy at school once, when I was about 13. He kept poking me hard in the ribs and back and pinching me, and I tolerated it for a while before I slapped him. He told me afterwards that I hit quite hard for a girl, and I apologized.
I also knew a girl who used to be tormented relentlessly because the other kids knew they would get a reaction out of her, and they found it funny when she went off on one. I was there when she slapped this fat boy across the face in the canteen, he had been going right up in her face and singing to her in a silly voice. This same girl was also rumoured to have slapped a male teacher across the face. I never did find out if that was true or not.
