Well, I'm not sure if we need to blame the victim, but everyone needs to realize the victim is partially responsible. That doesn't mean what's happening is right or even justifiable. Heck, nobody should have to go to school afraid that they'll end up in the hospital. The school definitely needs to be sued for not ensuring the safety of the students.
But people will always pick on easy targets. The lesson to be learned is that confidence and the will to fight back can go a long way in preventing these kinds of attacks in the future. Sometimes the "wait for the authorities to save me" approach doesn't work. That's why we're empowered to defend ourselves.
The solution is twofold: change the environment to reduce physical violence, and change Billy to make the bullies less willing to attempt any attacks.
