If someone hit me, am I allowed to hit them back?

It depends on the circumstances. The Golden Rule of self-defence is to only use as much force as necessary to protect yourself from harm. If you were provoked and the person that hit you was not trying to kill or cause serious harm, you may be justified in hitting back. However, it is always best to practice non-violent conflict resolution and get away from the situation if possible.
