To 'bring it on yourself' implies that the bullying was deserved. I'm saying that nobody ever deserves to be bullied, therefore something is rotten here.

If someone acts like a douchebag in any situation without fail, and has a history with stabbing friends in the back, it's practically required that they're bullied to prevent that behaviour in future.
Also, being bullied is something that people have to learn to deal with one way or another, because in the working world it can get much worse. Not saying that's the way it should be, but how it is.
EDIT: Just remembered an interesting fact - the bullying was more the 'social exclusion' and the occasional verbal abuse than anything physical. He wasn't invited out to things after it was proven you couldn't trust him to not be a dick. We recently gave him a second chance to see if he'd grown up a bit, and invited him to a new years party.
He got drunk and started a physical fight with someone by randomly punching them in the eye, and had to be taken home.
Case closed. Some people just bring it on themselves.
