Do what I did, (semi-long story ahead)
At my former, wonderful little school known as CENSORED High, there is a very strict rule against fighting, if you fight you WILL be sent to jail and a criminal report WILL be written. Meaning if you get the living crap beaten out of you you still get fingerprinted, which in my opinion is very stupid.
So the local bully noticed me walking around the commons area like a new student, which I was, and decided he'd come over and push me around seeing as I was fresh meat. Knowing a thing or two about HighSchool Diplomacy I didn't go to a teacher, thereby labeling me as weak, or try to fight him getting me fingerprinted and later getting jumped by him and his homies. Instead I took his punishment for that first few weeks until I found out where he lived.
Turns out he lived only a few blocks from me and even rode my bus. So one Saturday I walked to his house, he was hanging out with his friends, and beat them senseless,
and by senseless I don't mean some loose teeth and a few black eyes, I mean every one of them had either an arm or a leg broken. I absolutely went crazy, I Kung Fu'd there ass, well not exactly Kung Fu, I used Ju-Jitsu. Anyways monday at school the word quickly got around that I was the one who kicked the bully and his friend's collective asses. After that I quickly got the "street rep" as a guy not to be -blam!- ed with. To increase that image whenever the phrase "Man, you musta been pissed!" came up I always said "Nah, I was only a little annoyed." to give me a slight hint of crazy-ness.
The moral of this story is to learn a practical martial art, not Olympic Tae Kwon Do with it's useless flips and pretty kicks, but a real self-defence art like Ju-Jitsu, Akido, or Krav Maga, the Israeli military's combat fighting style(personal recommendation on that last one).
and beat the -blam!- out of the bully on his home turf.
