Do not look vulnerable. Do not hug your books close as if to protect yourself when you go to your locker or to study hall or math or whatever class. Walk down the hall looking straight, do not look down, and keep your shoulders high. And walking with friends helps, as there is safety in numbers.
I know exactly how you feel, I am a hardcore nerd and show it by wearing Halo 2 and Mario shirts and by wearing a Star Wars hat every day. I have beaten EVERY bully to screw with me without throwing a punch. Make witty comebacks and use large, confusing, difficult - to - spell words.
If anyone says anything to me, I laugh really loud and start yelling how funny and brilliant they are. When everyone comes to see what the hell is going on, he/she will most likely become nervous and probably leave. But always be proud of your love for the best invention ever, or else you will be like dirt and get walked over.
I don't know if it helped, but that's pretty much all the advice I can give to you.
