How Do You Stand Up to Someone Who Scares You?

I think I'm going to have to tell my mom. I don't want to get anyone in trouble or anything, but I shouldn't be scared to come to school. I don't know for sure yet, but I want to tell her before I have to go back to school. I've just been having so much stuff going on at school and in my personal life that it's starting to really make me feel broken.

 

That's where I have some issues with this whole situation though. This isn't really something I've discussed too much, but prior to my current situation I was having some issues with sexual harrasment coming from the same person I am currently being physically harmed by. I told multiple teachers, and none of them did anything. I had to get my mom involved and have her threaten legal action before anyone at school outside of the counselor and a few students who had seen it happening would even acknowledge that I had been wronged in anyway, and even then they didn't do much outside of passively and informally telling her to stay away from me, which clearly has not been upheld in the slightest. For obvious reasons I do have some trust issues with most of the staff at my school, so I really just feel much more comfortable going to my mom for help.
