Technically, minors cannot sue each other if that's what you mean. I think the best you can do is tell a parent or teacher. Because they're only spitting on you, it may be gross but it can't actually hurt you physically. I'm sure they would get talked to but I doubt much else if this was the first time that person attempted to irritate you. If this was only one of several ways someone was trying to irritate you, all of the instances combined could be considered bullying. If they were consistently bullying you, it could lead to suspension or even getting expelled. But if they only spit on you, they'd get talked to. And, no, you cannot charge them with an assault just for spitting you.

Assault is a very common crime. Assault can be a misdemeanor or a felony. To be considered a felony, assault charges must involve a clear intent to cause significant bodily harm.

Additionally, the nature of the victim could lead to a felony charge. For example, assault against a child or woman would be considered a felony. Felony assault charges are taken much more seriously. As a result, the penalties are much more severe. Felony assault and battery can fall in to a number of categories. As mentioned, the presence of a weapon signifies aggravated assault and battery.
