Nice Teddy Roosevelt quote.

Stand up to them. Be tough, think tough, look tough, your pissed that your treated this way. Face them if they want to confront you. Your ready for them anytime! Don't think that they can do this to you.

Only two things will come out of this; You will appear as someone who is not to be messed with and will make a bad choice in social standing if he fights with you. OR, You get in a fight with him and show that you are not afraid of this guy and even though you get beat up, still you will be seen as a person who is not to be messed with (dumb Highschool social system). Because you stood up to him, its sure to raise a little boost in "popularity", if you didn't have any, and most people in HS are plain wusses that will look up to you (great new friends), even if you lost the fight. Anywho, only good can come out of this, BE TOUGH ABOUT IT! I could go on and on and on about this topic.............so

JUST STAND UP FOR YOUSELF.

thank you I have been attempted to be bullied on multiple times and I stand up, look them in the face and tell them to fuck off, if they threaten you, tell them "good luck" and walk away.. by the way I took like a month of ninjitsu and I can confidently say that I am able to beat up every kid in my entire school and I am a tall, relatively scrawny guy. And if they say "okay walk away but dont come back" dont let them screw up your rep, turn around tell them youll be back tomorrow and walk off and this time completely ignore everything they say.

I agree with mostly everything except what I bolded and italicized there. Some people are just dickheads, and get off on just getting a rouse out of people, knowing they get under your skin. I know a few people personally who are like that, and they get their asses whooped every couple of weeks, but they can't help themselves, they just love pissing people off because they know it gets them pissed.
If you don't give them that, then they won't be as entertained by you.

Also, yeah, look tough. Walk around with a solemn and bold looking face and people won't fuck with you, they'll be afraid of you, possibly even respect you. You look like someone not to be messed around with, they don't want to chance it, they prey on weak ones who they expect to wimp out so they can look tough. Hold your shoulders back, puff out your chest, hold your chin high and people will not only not fuck with you, but they'll respect you as well. When you see someone like that, you just assume that they're someone you wouldn't want to fuck around with, and you'll leave them alone.

It's always worked for me. But also, don't be afraid to punch someone out if you have to. I've done this as well. Some dude threw a paper ball at the back of my head once, so in the middle of class I walked to the back of the classroom and threw a good little punch in his face, needless to say he didn't fuck around anymore, he treated me like Jesus from that day on. I remember throwing the punch, and all of a sudden, he got like this 'puppy that's been kicked too many times' kind of look on his face, and just begged me not to throw another punch. I felt kind of bad for it because of the look he gave me, but at the same time, he deserved it for being a douchebag after I warned him not to fuck around with me.
