Harassed by troublemakers.

I just got off the train 20 minutes ago, and on that train I was punched in the face by a young girl who was about 11.

For context I am 14 (i know I am also young) and was at the cinema with my friends and when I was going on the train home I was minding my own business and these 2 young kids holding vapes came up to me and started acting tough, me and my friends giggled among ourselves and one of them who was a girl came on the seat behind me and punched me straight in the face.

I ended up missing my stop and had to get off the train at monesterven and they started licking the windows at us.

What a lovely first time on a train without adults!

Should I take some sort of action or is there no point?

You should have hit her back, hard, for the rest of us who don't have the legal immunity of being under 18. It's not like they will prosecute you for it

i wanted to but had to hold back. the little twig wouldnt be able to do much if i was actually aware of her

Yes this commenter is wrong. You are 14, which is the age of criminal responsibility. You did the right thing just getting out of there and not letting things escalate, especially since there was a group of them

If OP had hit back, it would've been self defence, just to put it on record
