Just make fun of them. Make them the laughing stock of the whole class. Bully them verbally. Make fun of them and suddenly you'll become more popular - which will likely insulate you from any further bullying.
Maybe I was lucky, but this strategy worked wonders for me back in the days.
I'm sincerly surprised that a community as educated as HN only suggests brute force as an effective response to school bullying.
