Many thanks. =) I attempt to make all hypotheticals interesting and with many many viable options to justify and pick.

I could imagine a TV show or a cartoon running with this premise/world set up. Though it may be too edge for a major network.

Foment a revolt against God.

How? You can't even see him.

"Sup, Annie, how you been? Remember me, we had a thing before, where I convinced you to get high with me and have lots of sex rather than do magic genocide? Good times. Don't mind my 15 year old body, I've been here for a hundred years already. I know my beard looks ridiculous but below the belt, I'm in the prime of my life. So... Netflix and chill? By which I mean Adderall I bought from Jimmy and sex in the janitor's closet."

Eh? … I-I don’t know to reply to something like this

Any advice?

Is this option 3? 6?

In the IM verse I have a canon romance with Annie the Witch Queen. So 3 I guess.

We don't need to be able to see God to invade Heaven and tear down his corrupt Kingdom.

I’ll just get right back into the swing of things and get really high and play Magic the Gathering in the gym showers with the other nerdy girl I definitely didn’t have a massive crush on.

We will destroy this afterlife and build a new one from its ruins. The tyrant Jehovah will answer for his crimes.

Oh?

I did that with Yugioh. I didn’t think my conservative school would approve of the TCGs so my friends and I decided it was prudent to retreat the game there. My cards still got confiscated at one point in a random search but my parents did write a letter to get my cards back.

Destroying anything doesn't seem to be an option in this hypothetical.

After some thinking, I'd likely go with option 2 initially. Depending on how mad I'd become going through this again and again, I might freak out and pull for option 3 (including bringing a slingshot) sooner or later.

God can't stop me, I am too powerful.

Cool. Would you mind letting be copy your math homework and hand it in before you destroy everything?

[Thepeopl]

6. Other:
Be the biggest bully. Because I know all damage gets repaired magically and teachers turn a blind eye, I can use that to my advantage.
I'll force everyone to eat vegan.
I'll steal the magical artefacts and try to operate them.
I'll make empathic classes compulsory.
And everyone has to engage in improv. As group therapy.
Because if I am the craziest, they'll all fear me!

Are you saying that ethics are highly situational and since in hell the cost-benefit-analysis has changed, then you take less moral issue with bullying?

I'd be bullying for good! Honest. I would only pick on ppl who are misbehaving. Hence the mandatory empathy classes. So ppl learn to think about other pupils' feelings.

[Neutraligon]

Do I have all my current knowledge, if yes...create a robot exosuit.

[Biwolfia]

Number 2 by far. Making myself noticeable like in option 3 would go horribly, teachers don't care, so no option 1, option 4 is out of the picture (I know what being bullied is like), I'm not bribing people, and I can't think of anything for option 6

[GuessTheAltAccount]

1. They are terrified of the bullies unless they are confident they have their favor or have characteristics (such as beauty, limited favor with teachers etc) that can be leveraged to minimize being targeted

I stopped reading here.

Beauty does NOT "minimize being targeted." On the contrary, someone babyfaced is more likely to be accused by their bullies of crying on purpose to get their way, when they tried their honest best to fight the tears, or when they couldn't fight 'em, hide 'em. And that's putting aside the possibility that some bullies might just be motivated by attraction to their victim in the first place...

Nor does "favor with teachers." On the contrary, that's when you get picked on for being the "teacher's pet." (Also known to get picked on for being the teacher's pet, with or without any favor with teachers: People who actually do their homework, people who actually follow the rules, people who actually show a modicum of respect for the teacher for working damn near every waking hour of the day to grade papers carefully and plan a good lesson, etc...)

Your entire hypothetical is built on faulty premises. A house built on the sand shall fall.

[Ethel mermania]

Yea, though I walk the the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil. For I am the baddest motherfucker in the valley.

I slice and dice the biggest bully there and take over, and if they thought they were in hell before, wait till they feel my righteous anger.

[Vikanias]

Go full DOOM mode, use the resources in my area to use and build weapons like shives, and as the years go on I get better weapons like guns and grenades and all that fun stuff, eventually I’ll be making armour out of their bones. At first it will take a year to take out the school kids and teachers (and everyone else) but that number will shrink to a few months, weeks, days and eventually it’ll probably be a day, due to me being small and weak I’d probably get my ass kicked by the bullies but do fists beat guns? And I’ll workout to my full potential and strategize tactics, these bullies (who are said to be jocks) are probably around 6 inches tall, so I could easily get some nut hits if the bullies are male, and then I just need to kill them.

[Cetacea]

School, humiliation, bully gangs, dodgy teachers, witches - sounds like the set up for an HTML porn game.

Anyway when I was at school I was very tall and strong but more nerd than jock. So I’m going to develop skills look for allies and become the heroic defender of the oppressed (of course it might go all Cobra Kai and the oppressed become the new bullies)

[Andsed]

I have all of eternity and I am so going use that to break the fuck out of this. Since everyone but me loses their memories I can spend each cycle getting stronger and smarter while everyone else stagnates. I can literally spend any amount of time learning anything. Just spend a few thousand years learning and innovating, teach myself magic, and get that artifact and then go kick Gods ass.

[Zeganas]

If I could do high school over again, I'd go the rebel route, solidly. If it's my hell sentence it's not like I'll get expelled, and painful punishments ain't gonna kill me so I'll get used to them in time. So I'll keep rebelling because that's how my personality is, a spiteful and true-to-self personality.

It may depend on the school culture and the type of bullies you end up with. At with my school though, they generally decided I wasn’t worth the trouble once I started aligning with the teachers. Although a few times, when my “protectors” left, things did get very shaky.
