Not to sound like a nerd, but I appreciate the Ender Wiggin approach to bullies. Be pragmatic and hurt them way more than they intend to hurt you. Don't throw a punch. Instead, grasp their arm and break it. Not only will it end the fight quickly, but they won't mess with you again afterwards.

Note: I've never actually done this lol

That's literally the opposite of what it means to be a properly socialised person and will result in literally everybody ganging up against you.

Its fine to fight back, its fine to win and if someone is particularly nasty it can be fine to go a bit further to make a point.  But breaking bones over a simple punch is phycopathic behaviour.

&gt; they won't mess with you again afterwards.

Or them and 5 friends will put you in hospital, or perhaps a larger brother or perhaps they bring a weapon to school, or perhaps they throw a brick through your windows etc etc.

If you are planning to be the most scary bad ass around, you had better be sure you are willing to escalate things well beyond every other little physcho around you.
