~ Building friendships with others that share your interest. The buddy system is one of the best ways you to protect yourself from bullies because they typically have an aversion to groups.

~ Stopping the problem by working together with other people to find a way to resolve the issue. There is strength in numbers and you can beat the feeling that you're alone against bullies by sharing your hardships with others.

~ Seeking out the assistance of an adult. The actions of an adult working on your behalf may help stop bullies in their tracks.
that never works, what you are suggesting will only make the victim a bigger target fro bullies. Speaking from personal experience here.

if you are being bully, DON"T EVER back down. that will only make things worst.

Teachers are absolutely useless in these situations.
