I'd agree with this solution, but unfortunately in many (_AMERICAN_) schools, retaliation against bullying shifts punishment from the bully to the victim.

It's always been this way (at least since the 80s). Hit him hard where it hurts, then man up and deal with the fallout.

What I learned in kindergarten is this: Don't back down. Not to bullies, not to teachers, not even to the principal. It's served me well throughout my life.

Hell, even Tom Petty gets it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvlTJrNJ5lA

Part of this is luck too. If you never back down from anything, and you are unlucky enough to find yourself in a bad enough situation, your unwillingness to back down may get you killed.
