Oh and, I didn't escape unscathed, I've got a pretty big bruise on my leg. Hopefully, it was worth the trouble though.
I suppose, however the school is notorious for saying things like: "you should have come and told someone about this before"

Do so then?
Someone I know tried that once.
Dont get me started, listen to how horrible i was.
In our science class the stools were bolted to the floor, with a slot cut in the bit of wood you sat on.
Anyway in to class walks todays victim, a kid called Ben Wilson, he sits down but not before ive squirted his seat with a nice dollop of super glue, and in them days super glue was super.
He settles down while i quietly set my bunson burner up on a pile of books and slide it with a broom under him from my seat behind....
You gotta love school

I loved the lab. We (cough) set them on fire, sabotaged experiments and even electrocuted them. Just enquiring minds learning science.

That was your duty in them days, schools are rubbish now, too strict by half

Niice ! I spent about 5 minutes heating up a pound coin on a bunsen burner and placed it strategically with a pair of tongs on Milky Huttons desk. It was so hot it stuck to his finger and you could smell the burning skin from across the class. Kids are evil, evil I say !

Classic, nice one
Oh that was a blinder In the summer we often glue a pound coin to the pavement outside my office in Hatton Garden, its funny its always women that go the extra mile kicking at it, men give up once they realise its not moving

I know the guy, and he'd never take things that far, especially given the situation.
As I said before, either you wait and tackle these chaps when they're alone and vulnerable. Or you have to go to town on them right there and then, no preamble, no talking, reasoning or any other namby pamby rubbish (sorry that sounds harsh, but that's how bullies will see you for trying to engage them with anything other than your fist.) Don't mess about, hurt them! You've made a small step by getting a few digs in, but unless you make the consequences of ******* you off, sudden, unavoidable and brutal, you will loose the initiative.
As for the school and the consequences of you being punished for fighting and standing up for yourself... this is an important lesson: there will always be somebody in authority who doesn't care about your circumstances and will arbitrarily punish you, even when they know you are doing the right thing for yourself. Get over it. Loose the idea that if you get done for standing up for yourself, that somehow your entire future is going to end up stacking shelves in tesco.
Don't expect anyone to fight your corner for you. In my experience, crying to teacher every time you have an issue with a fellow pupil will not help you in the long run. Take care of business for yourself and if you clash with authority as a result, then just accept it and move on - you will have many more unfair experiences in future, but you are only really answerable to yourself. If you are satisfied with your actions as justified or reasonable given the circumstances, forget what anyone else thinks. They do not matter.
I know this will sound patronising (perhaps it is) but the big wide world outside of boarding school is a much more diverse place. The sheltered environment of being a boarder is not a patch on the world that lies before you. Take it from one who's been there.
If you get busted for fighting, so what. You keep your self respect, which is a damn sight more valuable to you than anything any authority at school will ever grant you in fairness.
Just an observation:
Your boarding school sounds like it needs to have the social hierarchy put back into balance. At my school, no junior pupil (in age to my then 'current' year group) would have dared to be openly cheeky to an older boy; it would have earned a good beating to demonstrate the consequences of a lack of proper respect to your elders and betters. This covered a wide range of things, like having to relinquish your chair in the common room, should someone in the year above you want your seat in front of the telly. Likewise you did what you were told and accepted it as the way things are - your turn will come. There were those that tried to buck the system, but they always learned the correct respect the hard way
Personally, if you are getting bullied by someone in a lesser year group, then you are seriously letting the side down - but that's just my view from 5 years in a mixed boarding public school, so don't be bothered by it

Well said that man, especially about the consequences, giving a few bullies a dig never stopped anyone getting on in life.

Yep, hierachy needs to be put back. I was discussing this the other day. The power no longer flows down, it flows up. I'm not getting bullied by someone in a lesser year group, far from it.
They're the ones who are giving me cheek though, and really hit one of them hard the other day. He wouldn't get out of another boy's room despite being asked several times, he was messing around and being a nuisance. I then threatened him, and he said: "You wouldn't hit me. I thought you were a nice guy." And in that moment, I see what has happened. I always wondered why juniors never gave cheek to the ones who were mean to them/beat them, and yet they were rude to me. Because I'd always been nice to them, I'd never shown any toughness on their asses. So I just hit this guy really hard and he left.
Over the last couple of days, when he's seen me, he's said to me: "You know it really hurts where you hit me." I told him to shut up, or I'd do it again. He said it to me another couple of times when he saw me. So I hit him again, the guy clearly hadn't learnt his lesson. Now he doesn't say it when he sees me, he's not even cheeky at all. Victory for me I guess

Okay, I'm starting to get really annoyed by the people in the house. They are very rude, annoying and they all think they're 'it'

He was in the room of a guy on my year. my mate is a very passive guy, he is very tolerant, and was asking the kid to get out. I came in and asked him to get out, he didn't. I threatened him and he got out. One minute later he's knocking on the door. He was knocking in a 'I want to annoy you' kind of way. I told him to leave. He did so. A minute later he runs into the room, jumps on my mate's bed and starts messing up his bed. I tell him to get out, or there'll be consequences. He gets out. Then he keeps knocking, I tell him to go away, he goes then comes back etc etc.
Finally, he comes in and starts pulling the guy's clothes out of his wardrobe. That's when I hit him, he leaves and doesn't come back this time.
I spoke to my mate afterwards, and apparently this had been going on for some weeks now. I asked my mate again today and the kid hasn't been back in his room to annoy him.
So I don't think I'm a ****ing ****, I think that I actually achieved something. Oh, and I'm not bullying. The kid has been rude to me in the past, and everytime I've told him to stop or he'll get hurt, he's said "But you wouldn't hit me, you're a nice guy" Then he continues to be cheeky.
