People who took revenge on their bully, what happened?

This kid bullied me through middle school. Chased me around trying to beat me up, threatened to beat me with a shovel once. He was stronger than me and I just didn't know how to handle it so I always just ran. By 8th grade we were basically the same size. He tried the typical shit one day when we were playing basketball. I was just like, "fuck this, if you want to beat me up then let's fight right now." So he came at me and I immediately kicked him in his balls. He dropped to the ground in pain and I just sat on top of him, and hit him in the face probably 15 times. A woman pulled over and shouted at me that she had called the cops so we all just ran. There were some kids watching. I vividly remember the aftermath. He didn't show up to school for a week. He had a black eye for three weeks. He never even made eye contact with me again. I learned an important lesson. If someone is trying to humiliate you, you DON'T have to take it. I don't handle things with violence now but If someone is crossing the line with me, I don't run anymore.
