We understand the system and how the bullying works but is it possible to alleviate the problem? There are multiple conclusions to end the bullying but each one has it's own set of positive and negative outcomes so how does one pick the correct option. Of course this is impossible.

+ Fight the bully face to face
+ 'Snitch' on the bully
+ Charismatic approach to try and negotiate with the bully

Personally I would choose the third because it has worked for me better than any other way of ending bullying has done in previous occasions, the repercussions were minimal and I saw an almost 100% positive out come, he keeps himself to himself, and do do the same, neither of us wanted to lose the fight and it could have gone either way. Of course this is embellished with external factors which modify the outcome, for example if the teachers that had been over watching the event from a distance not been there, he may have thrown a punch at me as my friends told me afterwards looked like it might happen. Then the whole thing becomes void.
