Next time you see the bully, get closer and pretend that you're going to do a martial arts bow. Then, kick 'em in the nuts or groin.
Or you can just go straight to the parents.
Also, you can try hiring some muscle to beat 'em up (mobster style).

Where I'm from, you had to act like you could fight, because that got you out of a lot of fights. It's important to note however, that there's only one reason that a bully would try to bully you: BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN!
Whether or not they have the skills to follow through with that threat is something different entirely.
If you know that you have more strength that him, and could probably prevail in a fight, that's the first step. The second step is HEART. People will not mess with you if they think something will happen to them. You need to create an attitude within yourself that people will be able to pick up on that says, "Don't mess with me!"
Unfortunately, that attitude may have to be developed making an example of this bully.
Where you should strike? That all depends on how big or small he is. In addition, it's best to throw a 1-2. In other words, your first strike should be a 'break-up' (strike that stuns your opponent). The best targets for the break up are vital points (eyes, filtrum, throat, groin, knees, and all joints). Your follow up strike is your knockout or takedown.
If he is taller than you, you should focus on areas within your range (knees, groin, legs) for the break up. That should bring him down to your level, then follow through with the takedown or knockout.
If he's shorter than you, then you should focus on break ups to the face, head and neck area, then follow through with your knockout.
If you both are roughly the same size, you can do either / or.
I'll say again however, that you must have the attitude that you mean business. And once you 'open that can', you don't stop until that person is down, or taken out (unconcious, not dead).
One more thing. You asked how to do this without getting hurt? There's a chance you may get hurt. Not badly, but you may take a shot or two. Maybe not, but don't be afraid to get hit, because it might happen. Just see your target, and hit!!! Good luck.

You sound like a good-hearted kid, but the bully is taking advantage of that. You don't want to hurt him and he (the bully) knows that. As long as there is no threat for him hurting you, he won't stop. It is OK to be afraid and it is natural. But you cannot let that fear control you, otherwise he will never stop.
Fighting back is not about winning or losing but inflicting pain on the bully. He will think twice about picking on you if he knows he will get hurt everytime he starts with you.
If you are stronger than him, then you can use that to your advantage. Get hold of his wrists to keep him from hitting you or bear hug his arms to his body. Once you get a hold, try to wrestle him to the ground. If you have his wrists trapped, then at least he won't be able to punch you. If you can get him down, lay your weight right on him. Putting your forearm across his jaw or knee on his face or chest will make him feel really uncomfortable.
The other option is to stand and trade punches. Aim for the head/face. Solarplexus, kidney shots, punching to the back of the head, elbows to the face will all cause damage. (Careful with aiming for specific targets like the nose, jaw, temple, eyebrow, etc. escpecially in the heat of battle. Just aim for large target - head, gut, quads, etc.) Keep hitting him until someone breaks you up. You will definitely take punishment but you are already taking punishment by being afraid.
Feel free to email me if you want any other advice. Good luck.

A Crumb in Comfort
Is better than a Feast in Fear
Hope it helps
And I might add
Become His Friend, it is the best defense around
I call it Friend-do
And never I mean never poke an eye as some would lead you to believe is proper self defense. Cival and Criminal even if he starts it.
You will suffer the consequences. This is only for drastic life saving measures.
A fight is rarely that. Learn how to fight back with your wits first, then become hand to hand skilled. To many hand to hand "masters" with no wit skills.
But it is the "Wit" skills that allow you to apply what you know in a real fight.
Alot get mad at me when I ask how may real fights you been in?
Ever been poked in the eye? Ever seen a kid who got in a school fight who lost an eye because some rookie said to do it? Then you meet years later to feel the guilt of your actions. And whose to blame? Your on line master?

look, you get beaten everyday, so why worry about not getting hurt. fight anyway you can regardless of getting hurt. fear of getting hurt will get you hurt. fighting always hurts.
you have nothing to lose but everything to gain from taking a stand. he thinks you are easy, and assumes everyday will be teh same. change that.
it doesnt matter how you do it, just NEVER accept defeat without trying to stop it. even if you still get beaten, he will be less likely to attack you again if you are not an easy win.
bullys only prey on the weak and easy. stop it. any part of your body can be used to hurt him, every part of his body can be hurt.
you have endless options. dont focus on a specific move, just react to teh needs of the moment. there is no wrong move unless you accept loss. putting up a struggle makes you too hard to be prey. it doesnt matter what they tease you about after that, because physically the attacks may stop.

The trouble with fighting is that you need to be tough, it needs to be in you to fight, otherwise it doesn't matter how big or strong you are, or what martial arts you've studied.
Best advice, if you're not a fighter do everything you can to get away ... you're going to struggle to win no matter what you know.
I was bullied at school too, so I went to kickboxing classes, the one benefit it gave me was confidence in myself, and after I let it be known what I was doing whenever someone challenged me all I had to do was stand my ground and it never came to a fight - because the bullies were always more afraid that I might actually beat them. If it had come to a fight, however, they'd have got the upper hand and won because of their innate ability to fight.
I'm no use at fighting, these days I'm 6' 2" and quite a big lad, and can stand my ground, but will always shy away from an actual fight.
I do know a few tricks though, if things were to ever go that far, however unfortunately they're very dangerous and I'd pretty much have to be desperate as you could seriously injure or kill someone.
When I studied kickboxing my instructor always told me never to go 'half measures', if you're going to hit someone hit them properly, you want to make sure they can't get up and hit you back and never, ever, ever fight fair ... you want to win, so do everything you can to wipe the other guy out.
The basics to fending someone off are the same sort of self-defence techniques they teach to women for walking home alone.
I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS, I'M NOT ADVISING YOU TRY THESE, I'M ONLY WRITING THEM FOR THE SAKE OF INFO/DISCUSSION ...
It's pretty obvious when you think about it, but you should target the weak spots ...
Punch him hard on the nose, it really hurts, will make his eyes tear up, and will really disorient him. He'll recover quite quickly though so you need to use that as a window of opportunity to attack him further, and disable him completely (i.e. put him down)
Poke him in the eye ... you can wedge your thumb in his eye and wiggle about too, there's a danger of blinding him but severe dig will make him think twice. Again, only you'll know if the guy is likely to keep coming at you.
Strike him in the throat ... lay your hand flat, and either reverse knife hand him ... or extend your thumb and thrust the open v shape towards his throat ... THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, you could crush his windpipe, but generally you'll just make him gag and feel sick, he'll be winded, allowing you to get away.
Get to the side of him and jump on his knee joint - step sideways and kick down your foot on his knee joint, this will put him down for sure, and may break his knee joint.
There's also the old favourite of a knee/kick to the family jewels, as hard as you can.
In close quarters be aware that your elbow is harder than your fist, and you can get more force behind it, swing it round and catch him in the jaw - he'll go down for sure.

The nature of a fight is to get hurt. To minimize the hurt is another issue. Elbows and knees inflict the most damage without hurting yourself. Smash the bridge of his nose with your elbow or bend his head down and drive your knee into his face. Or kick the side of his knee and smash that.....
With that said, avoiding the bully is best. He he continues it, ask your parents to send you to martial arts. Fighting really should be your last resort. Violence is a sign that all other options have been exhausted.

Here is the deal, violence never solves violence.
Do not fight him. A fight is a willing physical clash of two egos. Instead avoid him as much as possible. If he harasses you report it to the proper people (teachers, parents, police).
If you are corned and have choice but to defend yourself, do what you must to survive, eye gouge, groin kicks...just go nuts but be sure to defend your face and head. Try to sting him up and get away. Do not try to defeat him, just make an opening to get out of there.
