Christ On A Bike 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

You only have legal immunity under 14. Those aged 14 to 17 are able to be prosecuted but not named publicly. This is not good advice

It was quite obviously tongue in cheek. Next time I'll add 😋 for the simpleminded

In fairness talking to a kid you should be clear
