Bullies are just people who can't stand to see others happy. When they do, they want them to be unhappy just like they are.
If you don't mind facing the consequences by reacting to it, then forget all that crap you learnt in school about "don't fight back" and "tell them 'you don't like it".
I think you, and everyone in general should have the right to fight back.
As you may know, bullies are powerless without a group behind them, so if you want to get them back in a non-violent way, then that would be the right time to consult them.
